QnA Tidbits

  • HasLab Vintage Collection Campaign is coming late summer (possibly August). No details on what it is.
  • More Clone Wars characters will be coming to Vintage Collection and black Series. No details on which characters.
  • Safe to assume Star Wars SDCC 2020 Exclusives were in the works. Anything that would have been exclusive will find a way to be released.
  • Looking to get Vintage Collection figures in the lien that would work with all of the play sets. Probably later in the line while they focus on current stuff.

zz ESB40

May the Fourth Be With You! As we all celebrate Star Wars day today – we have a nice set of photos for the upcoming second wave of Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary figures. This round includes – Luke Skywalker in Hoth pilot gear, Lando Calrissian with new photo real tech, the Tie Fighter Pilot, Hoth Rebel Trooper, and Dagobah R2-D2. It’s a solid set of figures, not straight repaints this time. Of course a big selling point of these are the cardbacks, and they continue to look sharp, I can’t get enough of them.

These came courtesy of Hasbro which sent out an ESB40 themed promotional mailer, including some sweet backdrops! We’ve taken some shots of the mailer, the figures, and done up some fancy shots using those backgrounds. Oh, we also compiled a front facing shot for all the 40th themed cards going back to A New Hope’s offerings from 3 years ago. Read on to check it all out!

Koto New Hope Stormtrooper 011

Product photos and official details have been released for the upcoming Star Wars: A New Hope – Stormtrooper ARTFX Statue coming from Kotobukiya. The 1/7 scale statue will stand just under 11″ tall. The Stormtrooper includes an E-11 Blaster. There are no interchangeable parts fro this release. The statue is set for release in July, and Japanese pre-orders have started. It’s priced at 12,800 Yen (about $116 USD).

The Imperial Stormtrooper from Star Wars™: A New Hope joins Kotobukiya’s ARTFX line in their iconic white armor featuring a larger scale and all-new sculpt!

As worn by the main cast in Star Wars™: A New Hope, the helmet design was recreated based on the “hero” Stormtrooper helmet design. Furthermore, with the body proportions and props being faithfully recreated as they appeared in the film, extra care was taken into the design of the curves and angles of the armor.

Be sure to pay attention to the finer details included in this ARTFX. From the realistic look of the E-11 blaster rifle held in the Stormtrooper’s hands to the sign of wear in the shoes that can only be accomplished in a 1/7 scale.

Complete your display by pairing this Stormtrooper with the previously released ARTFX Darth Vader A New Hope Ver.

Realization x Kylo Ren 22

Star Wars Movie Realization figures from Tamashii Nations have been a great laser focused line. It’s an alternate universe where ancient Japanese feudal warriors mix with Star Wars characters to produce some of the most unique figures on my shelves. They started with the original trilogy, moved on to the prequels with Jango and Maul, and now they’ve touched the sequels with Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, and the First Order trooper.

In my primary Star Wars pick ups, I’ve narrowed down to an OT focus, but here all bets are off. This is so out there that it doesn’t matter which trilogy they come from, so long as they look cool, and they do. Kylo can hang out with Maul and Vader no problem. Troopers can mix up, Mandolorians can chill, it’s all good. These three are all well executed in plastic, paint, engineering and sculpt. Only Boba and Maul surpass them IMO. Phasma is a real treat in hand as well, the silver really pops as weathered metal.

Check out our gallery after the break courtesy of Bluefin Brands! All three of these are out now in Japan and the States, so hit your favorite retailer to pick them up!
