Regal Robot has shared with us a tease of their new upcoming collection: The Archive Collection. Click here for the preview page. 

It wonderfully ties together what we’ve been building in terms of crafting really unique replicas with the highest level of authenticity. As the name implies, this is a collection of pieces that all relate to our hands-on access to the original props or molds used in our favorite films, and our use of everything from traditional work to high-resolution digital scanning to bring incredible new lineage pieces into people’s homes.

Earlier this week Hasbro released their quarterly earnings report for Q1 2022. Overall revenue is up by 4% compared to Q1/2021, but net earnings declined by almost 50% and profit is down by 19%. You can probably guess what that means.
Nothing specific was said about Star Wars, other than that the Star Wars segment grew in Q1/2022, alongside Marvel and Ghosbusters, this after 70% growth in 2020 and even more growth in 2021. So even though you may never find anything in stores, the stuff seems to be selling online at least. Star Wars is selling!

But Hasbro is already warning that due to the war in the Ukraine and an end to Hasbro’s business in Russia they will lose about $100 million in revenues from everyone’s favorite country. And Hasbro also made an announcement about having to increase prices yet again around mid-year… Click through to read more!

Kenobi is about five weeks away from release, on top of the usual rumors and potential spoilers some tangible things leak as well, in this case some promo art (via the Star Wars Leaks Reddit) Lucasfilm will use to advertise the series. Check out the Kenobi banner below with Kenobi and Vader on opposing sides. I still wonder how they will explain the fact that A New Hope made it seem as if Vader and Kenobi had not met for a long, long time, probably since Mustafar, something that will no longer be true if the two actually clash in the series, unless it’s all some kind of dream or Force vision. Are you excited for the rematch of the century?
But let’s see how much Kenobi will actually be in Kenobi, or if the series will pull a Book of Boba Fett, Reva, the female Inquisitor, is said to play a very important role in the series… If you want to know more about that you can read very spoilery things about Reva on Bespin Bulletin. Don’t go there unless you want to read spoilers!

April 23, 2022, marks Hasbro’s two-decade 20th Anniversary of the 2002 Star Wars “Saga” line launch. The line was a first of its kind in that, although mainly created to support Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones, it brought all Star Wars sources together under one banner. Join us beginning on April 23, 2022, as we revisit the many products in this underrated collection. We’ve created slick-looking review template graphics, reshot the Photo Galleries and Visual Guides, and rewrote reviews. We’ve been preparing this project over the last year, and we’re excited to present it to you finally. Be here this Saturday, April 23rd, for the celebratory launch!

Video games are big. Really big. It’s the biggest entertainment industry worldwide with sales of $160 billion in 2021, outselling the movie and music market combined by a factor of almost 2. But for years Star Wars had very little to offer for gamers, other than a few multiplayer games with loot box controversies every couple of years by EA. But after years of neglect when EA had the exclusive license to make Star Wars games, it seems that Lucasfilm is eager to play catch up and to provide fans with all the Star Wars games they could ask for. We’ve already had a couple of announcements, among them “Eclipse” from Quantic Dream (release is still a few years away), then a game by developer Respawn, the KOTOR remake, and Fallen Order II is also in the works. So the next few years will see plenty of Star Wars games already. But earlier on Tuesday it was announced that yet another Star Wars game will be developed. The game has no title, no release date, almost nothing is known, other than that it will be a “cinematic action-adventure” and that Amy Hennig will oversee development of the game. Amy Hennig was, among other things, responsible for Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 2 and 3. Hennig left the company after those two games and then famously oversaw development of a single player Star Wars game codenamed “Ragtag” for EA (an open world single player Star Wars game), which was unceremoniously cancelled in 2017 because EA actually believed people hate single player games and instead wanted to focus on “games as a service”. Which is of course ludicrous and even EA have changed their minds in the meantime. Amy Hennig no longer works for EA and is with Skydance New Media now, so the new untitled Star Wars game will be released by them. It’s everyone’s guess whether or not the new untitled Star Wars game can reuse concepts from “Ragtag”. But one thing is certain, Star Wars video games will make a return to the market in the not too distant future after years of neglect. Are you looking forward to all the new games coming in the next few years?

Hasbro indirectly announced and showed what looks to be the new packaging will look like for their Marvel Legends line (which is a 6-inch scaled line of action figures). It isn’t outside the realm of possibility that they will try something similar with The Black Series line. Generally speaking, people seem unhappy with the new format.

Hello Toy Runners! How have you been faring lately? This lull is starting to drag on; I’m not expected to have any preorders arrive until June. Have you picked up any new figures these last few weeks? Let us know in the comments!

We’re living in a Bizarro-World, folks. JTA reader and friend Mark M. received his order of Retro Collection action figures based on The Mandalorian. He received twelve individually packed boxes in a larger outer box. Can anything be more out of alignment with what Target or Walmart normally do?

Longtime JTA reader Vas’rod sends us an alert that Hasbro Pulse UK has begun shipping the re-release of the Republic Trooper (The Old Republic) action figure. There aren’t many changes made to this re-release, but we also can’t see the entire figure. But most disappointing is that Hasbro didn’t update the font of the nameplate to correct it. Also, the good news is Hasbro could keep the Expanded Universe entertainment logo, something that Disney Star Wars would rather see die a slow death in an elephant graveyard, but that’s another story. So, that was a great win.

Lucasfilm operates the Star Wars Kids YouTube channel, which is home to various videos and short clips aimed at very young kids. The game show Jedi Temple Challenge hosted by Ahmed Best was moderately successful with about 1 million views per video, Galaxy of Adventures also enjoyed some popularity (a couple hundred thousand views per episode), but other things like Roll Out flopped, later episodes of Forces of Destiny underperformed and most of the other content on the channel gets maybe 10k-30k clicks per video, many videos even have less than 10k views. The channel itself has 283,000 subscribers, of course not all of them are kids. Toylines for both Galaxy of Adventures and Forces of Destiny flopped and every survey known to us (the fans) basically tells us that the average Star Wars fan is 30+ years old, and when we talk about hardcore fans (the people who buy merchandise or are stupid enough to fork over $6,000 for a 48 hour trip to a Star Wars hotel) it’s probably closer to 40+ years. But of course no franchise can survive without a new generation of fans, hence why both Disney/Lucasfilm and Hasbro try again and again and again to engage kids. And now we have the latest attempt at engaging kids: Galactic Pals. A show about a droid nanny that gives advice on how to raise little Wookies, Ewoks and lots of other Star Wars creatures. And it’s another flop. Yet again. Click through for more!

The Clone Wars Ahsoka figure was excellent in 2012, and it’s even better a decade later, thanks to a new paint job and Photo Real technology. We won’t say much here, so see why you’ll need to add this upgrade to your collection ASAP. We took the time to break it all down for you by producing an all-new 84-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2012 version from the 2022 new release in the Collector Notes. This figure is shipping now. See this excellent figure updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.

JTA reader Aaron H. found the latest Retro Collection figures at his local Target in Eastern PA. Although the box had a street date, they were not register-locked.

Reports are popping up across social media with The Black Series Wave 7 showing up (early) at various Walgreens across the country. This wave includes Ahsoka Tano, The Client, Death Watch Mandalorian, Omega, and Echo. Let us know in the comments if you are finding this wave in your area.

If I had written this article the day of the announcement, it might have looked pretty ugly, not that this post will be much better. But in all seriousness, what’s the deal with making The Vintage Collection Stormtrooper from A New Hope a Walmart exclusive? (more….)

The Phantom Menace Anakin Skywalker figure hasn’t looked better. They updated it with Photo Real deco, fixed the mismatched ankle joints, changed a few colors, and reissued it like it was 2012 all over again. We took the time to break it all down for you by producing an all-new 60-image gallery complete with comparison shots, and a breakdown of what separates the 2012 version from the 2022 new release in the Collector Notes. This figure is shipping now. See this excellent figure updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.

Long time The Vintage Collection collectors are about to rejoice! Are you tired of the flaccidly pathetic paper-thin cards brought on by the equally limp Disney Star Wars? You needn’t worry about this anymore. With the latest wave of repackaged figures, we’re thrilled to report that Hasbro upped the thickness of the figures’ cards, and they should hold up better in transit. Despite the good news, Amazon decided to ruin our sample by forcing it into a box too small. But that’s another story.

Hasbro mentioned that they updated Shae Vizla, but unless I missed it, it appears they minimized its changes by just noting the Photo Real upgrade. So I thought that other collectors may not realize just HOW MUCH is different here. Comparing the new upcoming release to the original 2012 version, the two figures look nothing alike. The new version has an all-new head sculpt! Check out the differences below! Those looking to add the original figure may have to spend more than anticipated.

Here are the Black Series reveals from today’s fan first livestream. To say there are somewhat underwhelming is probably an understatement. Unless you’ve always wanted an all white Darth Vader figure maybe… Click through for all the reveals!

Hasbro has revealed both the figure and packaging to the long-overdue Figrin D’an action figure.

Holy cow. Hasbro is giving The Black Series collectors the shaft. So much for the line with higher profit margins. As much as we hoped to adore the ARC Trooper Captain, we quickly learned how lazy Hasbro was once again with a new character added to the 6-inch line. (more….)

The Black Series [Phase IV] Trapper Wolf is not a late April Fools’ joke, but we can’t think of a more boring figure to add to the 6-inch line. It’s another lazy effort from Hasbro. (more….)
