Those smarting from the dullest reveal since the Chevy Chevette can rejoice that NEW items are being shown at Celebration Europe and the blokes across the pond at Jedi News UK have you covered. Head over to see some awesome heretofore unseen product including VIZAM!!!!
JTA was right. JTA wsa right. Tell your sister, JTA was right.
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have a report of another Black Series 3.75” sighting in California.
At this point, it’s clear our own Darth Mire has a serial returner on his hands. The other day he found Lumat at Walmart. Now he finds more wave 16 figures at Target. I wish my returners were so nice. They only return peg warmers.
And now for the official pics of the Black Series 6” line from Hasbro’s San Diego Comic Con presentation.

Big Bad Toy Store has a “Star Wars 2013 Evolution Pack” available for pre-order with an October delivery and a price of $34.99. This is most assuredly the Anakin to Vader 4-pack that was announced at Toy Fair. Based on the price, I’m somewhat encouraged that this is not a kid targeted 5 POA item, but I’m getting used to being disappointed lately, so I won’t hold my breath.
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives are reporting that The Black Series has hit brick and mortar retail. Start checking those stores!
Coming out of San Diego Comic Con, there was a rumor swirling that JJ Abrams was dropping out Episode VII. For several reasons, we were skeptical and decided not to post information about it. In the event that you heard this rumor, you will be happy to know that it has been debunked.
Our own Darth Mire had an interesting find at this local Walmart. It’s likely a return, but bizarre nonetheless.
Did you ever wonder what a ranking list of the best figures from The Vintage Collection would look like? Wonder no more. We have been invited by Jedi Temple Archives to be part of the panel for their “A Digested Look at The Vintage Collection” special report alongside many other fan sites to rank what figures from this collection are the absolute cream of the crop. We also are joined by three special guests from the Hasbro Star Wars team which makes this an unprecedented event. See what figures made the final ranking and compare the panel’s picks and how they differ next to the Hasbro team’s choices. The Special Report also gives warm tribute to The Vintage Collection in a general retrospective manner. There are even some special “gifts” for readers to take away from it.
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have teased something as coming soon (8 AM tomorrow morning). Based on the font selected, I’d have to guess it’s Vintage Collection related which is how I’ve categorized this,
They staff here at Bantha Skull has been discussing what was shown by Hasbro at San Diego Comic Con 2013 and we have the following wrap-up report:
Dear Hasbro,
Please be forewarned that if your Angry Birds presentation at Toy Fair 2014 lasts more than 60 seconds, I will organize a mass walk out. While I can appreciate that this is apparently a great success for you, know that most collectors are not your audience. Most collectors would sooner set fire to an Angry Bird toy than purchase it. Fan sites will use our resources to promote this product within reason out of gratitude to the access you grant us, but please appreciate that this has limits. Also please be aware of how divisive this particular product is with the collector community and don’t waste our time with things that engender nerd rage.
Respectfully and sincerely,
Chris Swanski
One of your biggest and most loyal fans of the action figure line
