Ugh. Three “carbonized” figures from one retailer in 30 days. It looks like gold jewelry. But will you want the Target exclusive The Black Series [Phase IV] Shoretrooper (Carbonized) figure for your collection? (more….)

As you know, we’ve just finished up reviewing what many are calling the “greatest of all time” wave of The Vintage Collection Clone Wars figures. Yes, the wave was nothing more than simple repaints, but it added the Clone Wars entertainment logo to The Vintage Collection repertoire and added new characters to the line for the first time. If you passed on this wave of figures, you’re missing out badly. With its runaway success, we believe that Hasbro and Walmart can work together again to develop two additional waves with little to no new tooling while making collectors inordinately happy simultaneously. Click through to check out our suggestions and the figures they can use to quickly assemble two more unique figure assortments for us. (more….)

Hasbro insists on using the same old tooling for The Vintage Collection Battle Droid figure from the Clone Wars micro-series. It poses well, but it’s not a great action figure! (more….)

Subscriber growth for Disney’s streaming platform has stalled considerably in recent months. Disney+ has about 130 million subscribers worldwide, but Disney would like to increase that number to 240-260 million in the next two years. To achieve this more than ambitious goal Disney is now changing its strategy. An ad-supported subscription model will be added to Disney+ in late 2022 in the US, other territories will most likely follow in 2023. No further details are known at this moment, i.e. how much this ad-supported subscription will cost and if there will be any limitations. If you are not a subscriber yet… would an ad-supported subscription at a lower price convince you otherwise? Or would Disney need to add a lot more original and new content first for you to reconsider? As things are now Disney has a few tentpole series or movies every few months, but little else to keep fans of Star Wars and Marvel (one major target demographic of the service) entertained with new content. Maybe Disney needs to invest even more in new programming (and a broader variety of programming) to reach the lofty subscriber goals.

If you passed on or missed The Vintage Collection Barriss Offee Clone Wars figure, you’re going to be a very upset collector. It’s one of the most gorgeous action figures in the line, and it’s incredible what Photo Real did for this tooling. (more….)

We last talked about the streaming ratings for The Book of Boba Fett two weeks ago, in the meantime Nielsen added episodes 5 and 6 to their charts. So how did the Mandalorian episodes with Luke Skywalker fare? After episode 4 The Book of Boba Fett had less than 600 million minutes streamed, an improvement after the previous decline with episode 3. Episodes 5 and 6 did give the series the much expected boost, but it’s still far removed from what The Mandalorian had. The Book of Boba Fett accumulates 776 million minutes with episodes 1-6, which is about the same as last week when episode 5 was added. Which is less than what WandaVision or Loki had, much less than The Mandalorian (1.34 billion minutes with the season finale added), but still pretty good and a lot better than things like Hawkeye or Falcon & Winter Soldier. But because of the competition The Book of Boba Fett dropped a few places, down to #7 now. The Book of Boba Fett is the only Disney+ series on the charts. Amazon Prime makes a rare appearance on the charts with Reacher, which took the #2 position with 1.84 billion minutes streamed over eight episodes. The charts are otherwise dominated by Netflix as usual. Let’s see if the series finale can improve the numbers. Samba TV reported their numbers several weeks ago and they claimed the finale perfomed much better than the Mandalorian season 2 finale, something which I find somewhat difficult to believe. Let’s see what the Nielsen streaming charts will say about that next week!

Pretty popular characters
