As we pointed out last week, the concept Han Solo design actually appeared in the Rebels Spark of Rebellion movies, albeit briefly.  Today we look at one of the two main hero figures in the Ralph McQuarrie Signature Series with 2007’s Concept Han Solo.

Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have posted the results of the Q&A they conducted with Hasbro at the New York Comic Con preview party.  The era of doom and gloom feels like it’s coming to a close, but one piece of information pains me in my southern region.

Evidence of the the Concept Snowtrooper helmet’s influence on the aesthetic of Rebels was already abundant during the Spark of the Rebellion series premier movie.  Today’s Throwback Review focuses on the 2007 figure based on the Ralph McQuarrie Concept Snowtrooper.

Sideshow Collectibles Star Wars Boba Fett Star Wars Premium Format(TM) Figure is up for order.  The detailing looks amazing.  And even though I don’t want to muddle our main page with non-Star Wars news, I have to point out that the One sixth Deadpool also up for order.

Everything was back in stock at Hasbro Toy Shop this morning.  And I mean everything (even Ant Man).  Starsher has sold out in the time that it has taken me to post this.  With free shipping on orders over $50 and the code FAMILY2014 getting 20% off, the new items are not going to last long.

I saw something at Target today that seriously made me wonder about how well Hasbro is managing their business.  Not the Star Wars brand, but the business. Click through for my two cents.

Ralph McQuarrie perhaps had no bigger impact on the Star Wars saga than he did with Darth Vader.  George Lucas did not plan for Vader to wear a helmet and it was though McQuarrie’s urging that one of the most iconic images and dehumanizing elements of the character was born.  For today’s Throwback Review, we look at the figure based on the Concept Darth Vader.

Hasbro is holding their annual Twas The Night Before Comic Con preview night tomorrow evening and Bantha Skull will be there.  The indomitable and irrepressible nomadscout will be on the ground, but he will be wearing his favorite proactive head gear as a precaution.  Check in tomorrow as we effort to bring and news as soon as we can.

If our inspiration for McQuarrie week is the concept artist’s heavy influence on the Rebels aesthetic, we would be remiss if we didn’t tackle the Concept Chewbacca as that design is the basis of the Rebels character Zeb.  Check out the 30th Anniversary Colllection Concept Chewbacca.
