Review: Finn (Starkiller Base) - TVC - VC308

The Vintage Collection Finn (Starkiller Base) figure has some minor improvements from the figure released almost nine years ago, but why did Hasbro wait so long to add this crucial character from The Force Awakens into the line? It sounds a bit suspect and racist to us! (more….)

Sideshow Collectibles dropped the pre-order time on their Twitter account today for the LIMITED Hot Toys Umbra Operative Sixth Scale figure. Get ready because this is limited to 1,500 worldwide, which means a small allocation for Sideshow Collectibles and sure to sell out in a flash on Sideshow’s site.

Walmart has listed most of this week’s new pre-orders from The Black Series and The Vintage Collection for much lower than their retail price. They did this with both Darth Vader and the Stormtrooper too, and then raised them back to retail a few days later. If they add the other two TVC figures from The Acolyte we will add them. Take advantage of the lower prices while you can:

With this week’s episode we are past the halfway point for the last season of The Bad Batch and things are slowly coming together. While this week is mostly more setup for the finale, “Bad Territory” is an entertaining episode. Much of that can be attributed to the inclusion of Fennec Shand. So click here or on the banner for my spoiler review of “Bad Territory” and lets’s discuss the latest The Bad Batch episode!

Well, that was a very pleasant surprise and probably the best Hasbro Star Wars livestream in literal ages! Not just when it comes to the number of reveals, but also the presentation felt much more alive this time, less scripted, less teleprompter reading and actually, just like five people having fun with the reveals… Anyway, much to my own surprise Hasbro revealed a ton of The Acolyte figures, which will all be released in Fall 2024!

  • Jedi Master Sol
  • Padawan Jecki Lon
  • Jedi Knight Yord Fandar
  • Jedi Master Indara
  • Mae (Assassin)

ALL figures come with their robes and each has a unique lightsaber! Only Mae comes with various knives/daggers instead, but she too has her purple cloak. All the figures are mainline items in the US and Fan Channel / Amazon / Pulse items in Europe and everything revealed today will be available for pre-order on March 21st at 1 pm ET!

On top of that a new Darth Maul holocomm figure was revealed as well and there will also be a new Moff Gideon roleplay helmet

There are also quite a few exciting pipeline reveals! Stay tuned for the update coming very soon with all the photos and some discussion!

Click through for all the photos and a discussion!

So much new stuff!
