Continuing our ongoing look at vintage Kenner grails that would be viable as reproduction Vintage Collection figures, we look at the POTF ‘85 Anakin Skywalker. This is the action figure equivalent of “famous for being famous”.
I made mention recently that I had passed on a near full case of Mimban stormtroopers. This be the reason, Captain. It proves (maybe self-fulfilling) something Bantha Skull has been saying since 2011.
Last week we mentioned the we would start diving into the “holy grail” figures from the vintage Kenner line that we hoped Hasbro could port to the modern Vintage Collection. We start with the Droids Boba Fett.
Have you noticed the odd listings on Dorkside Toys’ 3.75” Star Wars page?
Instagram user Mister Skeezler tagged us on this customization he made to his Khetanna. This is great. Make sure your speakers are turned up.
One of the big pain points when the Sail Barge was announced just over a year ago was “where am I going to put it?” So now that these should be in hand, where did you put your barge?

Shortly after the HasLab exclusive POTF Yak Face was announced as a pack-in for the Sail Barge, I took a stab at what the secondary market value of that figure would be. In the words of Lloyd Christmas:

We hope you listen. The keys to the Vintage Collection becoming a retail juggernaut are staring you right in the face.
No. Vinyl records are not better than digital music. VHS is not better than BluRay. But brick and mortar retail still has viability for a very important reason, but I fear Hasbro is moving into a post-retail world.
One of the big new concepts introduced at Toy Fair is the “box in a box” paradigm where carded figures are included inside another boxed item. Just as HasLab swung open new doors last year, this concept has MASSIVE potential, and we have a few ideas to pitch.
Chris just took his pants off and is now running around the Hasbro presentation room..,
This bit of news broke last night, but I didn’t have the will to post. An Instagram post of an in-hand production sample the forthcoming TVC Leia in Boushh disguise figure has me miffed to say the least.
