Rumor Report: TVC – Looking Forward to the Past

We are only two months away from 2019 and from what we’ve seen thus far (officially), Hasbro’s mantra is basically “what’s old is new again” thanks to the reissue of older figures (essentially repacks) but with an updated look care of Photo Real tech being applied to the 3.75″ scale. Some don’t like the approach of having so many “repacks” for super-articulated figures, especially at today’s price point.  The later half of the year looks brighter for the line and, thankfully, there are a few surprises left make their way across the Dune Sea of the retail landscape….

Brace Yourself for Bent Barge Booklets

Here is a preemptive warning to those expecting a Behind the Workbench booklet for the Jabba’s Sail Barge.
