Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have teamed up with Victoria’s Cantina (YouTube channel / Twitter) to provide a Hasbro Q&A from SDCC. There is a lot of Vintage Collection information revealed here, but connecting the dots, I feel like we’re in familiar Vintage Collection territory. I feels like “wait ‘til next year” again. But there is reason for our core audience to be excited.
At the advice and lead of our colleagues, we have removed this story. I am leaving this place holder only to address Litzky PR.

In a bit of a left turn, we suspect that Hasbro has picked up the licensing for the 1959 United Artists classic Some Like it Hot which features Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon disguising themselves as women to avoid the mob.

Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have posted their Q&A with Hasbro from the floor of Celebration Anaheim. While still being coy about the state of the toy line after June, there were a few reassuring answers given (assuming Hasbro was referring to the 3.75” scale) and one truly bizarre one about the height of the 6” Leia in Boussh disguise. Click through to find out what was asked and answered.
But for the love of GOD, Hasbro, could you please just answer yes or no to the question of whether or not 14 POA 3.75” will continue. If that way of collecting has come to an end, why would there be any reason not to admit it? Do you think those of us who currently hate 5 POA will hate it more if you tell us that 14 POA 3.75” is done?
