Customizer Mega Spotlight

Leave a comment

This weekend we spotlight more of the great customizing work being done by Star Wars fans in our forum community.

Leading this off, we have Stocos28, who shines as always with a Twi’lek Jedi, and more which can be seen here.

Next up, we have a great tribute to the vintage bootleg Uzay Headman and several other customs, courtesy of Tonphanan.

After that, try to keep your socks on when you see the Pong Krell custom by Darth Daddy (we are all still wondering why Hasbro hasn’t made this guy yet).

Last by not least, darth naes shows off a killer battle damaged Darth Vader custom from the Dark Horse comics series in his customizing thread.

Infinite Supply of Movie Heroes Merchandise

Hasbro’s disaster line from 2012 continues to show up at discount stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls – as just today, I saw more of this stuff that wasn’t there just a couple days ago. 

One has to wonder just how much of this stuff Hasbro produced… and it’s hard to not feel that Hasbro’s poor decisions with this line are the prime reason for the change in Hasbro’s business model to switch to cheaper, 5POA figures rather than their official reasoning of “changes in kids’ play habits.”

While at the St. Louis ToyMan collector show over the weekend, I was able to meet a special guest of the show who was recording for an upcoming episode of Toy Hunter!  I also snapped some pics of this ever-growing collecting event that is gaining national attention – check them out in the forums!

Jordan also wanted me to mention that his Halloween Special will be airing at 9pm Eastern Time on Sunday October 20, so be sure to check out your local listings on the Travel Channel!

By now, we should be able to have a pretty good gauge on how well Hasbro’s new scale of Star Wars figures are moving.  In my neck of the woods, the first wave is starting to dry up, but Luke and Maul aren’t exactly flying off the shelves.

Thoughts?  How’s this line doing so far in your area?  Let us know by sharing your thoughts here or in our forums!

We don’t enjoy posting negative news about Hasbro this often – but you have to see the latest reports on the bubble issues with The Black Series… some employees are inadvertently reattaching the figures on backwards now – which is understandable given the general lack of distinction between the front and back of the cards.

A couple years ago, Hasbro seemed surprised when fans told them that clone helmets were yellow and green while still on the card (this was months after the clones had been showing up at retail)… so we can only hope Hasbro hasn’t failed to realize this bubble issue by now and are working to address this for subsequent waves of both The Black Series and Legends.
