Quick Review - Star Wars The Black Series Range Trooper 6" Figure by Hasbro


Last week SOLO finally hit theaters and I'm surprised to admit, it's probably my favorite of the Disney era Star Wars films. I enjoyed it after my first viewing, but I watched it with my guard up. Still feeling betrayed by The Last Jedi, but after seeing it a second time opening weekend I loved it. While Rogue One's characters are a little flat, and The Force Awakens suffers as a result of The Last Jedi, Solo is an incredibly fun, entertaining, and well made Star Wars movie. It really captured the spirit of not only Han Solo, but the lightheartedness of A New Hope and felt like a bit of a throw back. The underworld and western vibes in the film also help set it apart from the regular old Jedi business or Galactic Civil War conflicts.

Force Friday II - STAR WARS The Last Jedi 3.75" Action Figures by Hasbro


Friday September 1st, 2017 marked the launch of all the new STAR WARS merchandise for the upcoming release of The Last Jedi. The line I'm always most interested in continues to be the 3.75" basic figure line, even if they only have 5 Points of Articulation. This is the scale that built the STAR WARS toy phenomenon; it allows for a great variety of characters and is the perfect scale for all manner of vehicles. Hasbro pulled out all the stops and released eleven different figures in the first two assortments of The Last Jedi line, nine of which seem to be all new sculpts. Today I'm going to give you the run down and take a quick look at all the figures released.

Review - STAR WARS The Force Awakens Captain Phasma SH Figuarts by BANDAI


 One of the most anticipated new characters from The Force Awakens was the intimidating Captain Phasma, with her suit of metallic Stormtrooper armor she was one of the coolest new designs in the Sequel Trilogy. While she didn't have much screen time, the filmmakers were able to turn a throw away character into something that could become really special. Since the release of the movie nearly two years ago I've been able to pick up a handful of the SH Figuarts and today I'm going to be taking a look at the incredible Captain Phasma figure.
