Our show returns this week as Flyguy and I discuss the latest in Star Wars news and collecting. A quiet week overall but it livened up a bit with the release of new images from Hasbro for the Black Series line and talks of a merger between them and DreamWorks. Sideshow announces the imminent preorder of our favorite protocol droid, while ANOVOS reveals new Imperial Officer duds for cosplay fans. All this and more on Episode 40 of The Realm Recap.

Despite opinions to the contrary, the Black Series Darth Vader (#26) suffered from a horrible neck design that essentially rendered the figure to “look, don’t touch” status. We are very happy to share that Hasbro has indeed addressed the known issue (by their admission) and the Black Series #03 Vader now features an updated sculpt with longer neck peg.
