Were drooling over another Concept Series idea by localgotal, which is a figure that I’m surprised Hasbro hasn’t made yet. What character could it be? Find out, and share your thoughts after the jump!

Action Figures in Demand Vs. Hasbro’s Lines
Last week, I began to feel some of my worst fears for the Black Series were coming to fruition as I see so few retailers ordering new product for the Christmas shopping season.
By contrast, there are action figure lines that are thriving; so don’t let Hasbro fool you into thinking that kids don’t like action figures anymore, or they don’t like articulation… as those of us know who check more than the Star Wars section, other toy lines like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are constantly selling out and being restocked these past several months.
What do you think? Is Hasbro going to finally right this ship in 2014? Share your thoughts in the forums!
The Enloe Trials: Chapter V Approaching
The next installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series will be here soon, and for this next chapter there will be several new scenes… but before that can happen, I’ve been busy building several new custom dioramas! Check out a sneak peek by clicking here.
And for a refresher before the next chapter will be posted, catch up on Chapter IV: Shadow of Death.
Concept of the Week #6
We kick off another Concept Series idea by localgotal today, and this one is nothing short of fantastic… it’s 4 all new figures from A New Hope… ones that we’ll probably never see Hasbro make, which is a shame… because these would rock as an exclusive box set. I doubt many of us would pass on this set… I’d buy at minimum, three of these sets.

The State of The Black Series
Here we are, just a couple weeks away from Christmas – and there are warning signs all over that The Black Series may be in trouble.
Retailers simply aren’t stocking anything past the first wave of 3.75″ scale figures even during the holiday season, while online stores like Amazon are marking down figures from the first two waves for as little as $2.55 each. This doesn’t seem to bode well for the future of this line. Head on over to the forums and share your thoughts… and it’s not like we didn’t warn Hasbro of these concerns when they first revealed their lineup for the first two waves…
Galactic Merchants Diorama Reviews Continue
Last week we gave a very positive review on the Galactic Merchants modular diorama walls, and those who have received their sets thus far all seem to agree – these things are outstanding!
I would have to agree with how Tamer at Imperialshipyards puts it, “These may be best action figure product I’ve bought all year!”
Check out their review at Imperialshipyards.net and a similar conclusion by the folks at Flyguy.net!
Concept of the Week #5
It’s Monday… and that means it’s time to check out another great Concept Series installment by localgotal!
This week’s feature entails not one, but several figures to form a Cinema Scene from a memorable scene in A New Hope! Check it out, and share your thoughts for the eyes at Hasbro – would you buy these figures?
Older Legends Figures Continue to Appear
If you have a TJ Maxx or Marshalls store in your area, it may be worth your while to swing by and see what they are stocking for the Christmas shopping season. Many stores are still receiving older Legends figures for $4.99 each (which are fantastic kid and collector friendly figures), mid size vehicles in the Clone Wars line at discount prices, and even the giant MTT for $79.99.
