As always, there was a lot going on at SDCC. We’ve rounded up a bunch of Star Wars news in one place, but also threw in a couple of non-Star Wars items that we liked…
Star Wars Action News is livestreaming the Hasbro Panel at SDCC on their Facebook page.
If you couldn’t follow along, click through, as we live updated based on SWAN’s video…
UPDATE: Presentation is over…
Yep, forget that crappy 6” Landspeeder. There’s no room on your shelf, anyway. But you’d better find room in your garage for this baby…
Bantha Skull is forced to call for a boycott of Conan O’Brien after Team Coco’s highly offensive “Road to San Diego” video. This is outrageous! Click through to see the video. The offensive material comes at the 0:39 mark. This insult will not stand!
Since Chris decided (unilaterally) that he was going to spend the entirety of the accumulated wealth in Bantha Skull’s war chest on a new Commando 8 (installed), we were left with nothing to fund a trip to SDCC. It’s not the same there without the Chargers, so in the end, Chris probably made the right call.
Instead, we recommend you check out some pics taken by our colleagues at Yodasnews, and posted on their Instagram account. They have pics of items at many different SW licensee booths. It should be well known by now that we are not fans of the 6” line, but nevertheless, it’s worth checking our their video of an incredible 6” scale A New Hope diorama at the Hasbro booth.
While it is amazing to behold, it also does have the unintentional effect of showing the immense quantity of real estate necessary to properly show off these 6” things in your home.
Check it out, and let us know your thoughts in the comments…
While some may find the lack of a Lucasfilm presence at SDCC disturbing, various vendors will be keeping Star Wars front and center for attendees. The Official Site is keeping a running tally of the various convention exclusives, so keep checking back as the date approaches for a consistently updated list of items…
