Toy Run Episode 41 – So Long, Princess.
This week on TOY RUN, Criz Bee and Jake remember Carrie Fisher and her numerous Princess Leia action figures that have been released over the past 40 years. In addition, Jayson Krebsbach from Yakface.com stops by to reflect on collecting Star Wars action figures in 2016. Together they discuss how Hasbro treated the 3 ¾” and 6” Rogue One and Force Awakens lines. All this plus the latest in Star Wars action figure news from the last few weeks on Episode 41 of TOY RUN – The Star Wars Action Figure Cast!

Released in the UK a couple weeks ago, reports are coming in that the Elite Series Die Cast First Order TIE Fighter Pilot is now available in the US exclusively at Disney Stores. This figure is not available online as of this post but if you’re interested you may wish to brave the post-holiday mall traffic to try to secure one of them as the die cast Elite Series line is on sale for $14.99 each.
Thanks to Pete V. for the heads up.
New Finn vs Captain Phasma Two Pack Image
Here is a look at the Finn vs Captain Phasma 2 pk. coming soon from Hasbro. As you may recall, this set was on display at SDCC 2016 but without Phasma’s BFG accessory. Look for this to be shipped along side carry-forward packs of the Baze Malbus and Stormtrooper set in a few weeks.

Toyguide Update: BB-8 (Holiday Edition) Mini Bust (2016 PGM Exclusive)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today as we take a look at the 2016 Premier Guild Exclusive BB-8 (Holiday Edition) Mini Bust from Gentle Giant.
PROS: Excellent sculpting and deco, and the lights are a perfectly festive touch. LED lights are bright and the button batteries are included (preinstalled). 3 lighting modes give the collector options, although I suspect most will choose the solid (non-flashing) setting.
CONS: Must be a PG Member to purchase ($120) which will probably drive the after market price higher in the future. Fragile antennae could easily break if not handled properly.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery (and our YouTube page for a video) to judge for yourself whether this bust is worth adding to your collection.

Toyguide Update: 6″ C-3PO (Resistance Base) “Dark Arm” Variant
We have updated the toyguide entry for the 6″ Black Series C-3PO (Resistance Base) #29 figure to include the “dark arm” variant that is now shipping to stores. Sadly, it appears that Hasbro overcorrected in their attempt to portray Threepio’s superfluous coloration from The Force Awakens.
