Star Wars Celebration 2015: High End Collectibles Panel

Bandai, Gentle Giant, Kotobukiya, and Sideshow Collectibles show off their Star Wars lines

The official Star Wars YouTube channel is livestreaming from the Star Wars Celebration. So while we weren’t able to make it down to Anaheim, we still got a pretty good look at the high end collectibles being offered by four of the top Star Wars licensees. Attached herein are the presentations from Bandai, Gentle Giant, Kotobukiya, and Sideshow Collectibles.

Hasbro Reveals Ahsoka Tano for Black Series at Star Wars Celebration

Star Wars Rebels hero is first non-film character to join the 6-inch line

Hasbro was on site at Star Wars Celebration with an exclusive first-time reveal: the prototype for Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars Rebels in the Star Wars Black Series 6-inch line. We’d previously seen her join the 3.75-inch animated line for the show, but this will be the first time a character from outside the original trilogy and the prequels will be featured in the 6-inch line.

After a relatively scarce showing for the Black Series at Toy Fair, we were expecting some confirmation of Black Series figures for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Not just yet, but perhaps we’ll see something in this regard from Hasbro before Celebration is through. If not, then definitely at San Diego Comic-Con.

Border Patrol: Marvel Ends of the Earth Spider-Man and Colleen Wing, and Star Wars Black Series Deadpool Fett

For this edition of Border Patrol, here are three Marvel-themed customs from across Hasbro’s toy lines:

Marvel Legends Ends of the Earth Spider-Man by happydaycustoms – I never read the Ends of Earth series where Spidey crafts this armor to fight the Sinister Six, but I see the costume when I’m online playing Marvel Heroes – definitely looks cool, and the custom is well done – ends Monday, April 6, at 5:45AM PST
Marvel Universe Colleen Wing by Delo-customs – with Misty Knight coming in Spider-Man Legends, I’m going to need Colleen too – this one’s in 3.75-inch scale but if she were Legends-sized you’d be bidding against me – ends Friday, April 3, at 7:27PM PST
Star Wars Black Series Deadpool Boba Fett by FanBoys Toys – this mash-up might not be your thing, but with a new Star Wars movie coming out at the end of this year, and a Deadpool movie on its heels in February, maybe it’s time these two characters get the bodyslide by two treatment – ends Thursday, April 9, at 9:02PM PST

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

Weekend Toy Run: Star Wars Black Series Emperor Palpatine Wave at Amazon

The latest wave of Star War Black Series 6-inch figures is up for pre-order individually at Amazon. This is great for folks who may want to pick and choose who they’re getting from the wave. Each is $22.99 and qualify for Prime 2-day shipping.

For Prequel fans, you can never have enough Clone Troopers. Original Trilogy fans will want to pick up Emperor Palpatine. And Luke and Han are great for army builders since they can wear their Stormtrooper helmets – but don’t be disappointed that Luke isn’t a little short to be a Stormtrooper. I’m sure customizers will figure out how to fix that easily enough.

Big thanks to our friend Rodney for giving us the heads-up!

Weekend Toy Run: Time to Army-Build Star Wars Black Series Stormtroopers

For a while it was tough to find the Star Wars Black Series Stormtroopers. They were originally in the wave 3 case packs that included prequel Obi Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, and a repack of Han Solo. Since Han had just been released in wave 2, I was expecting smaller orders and less availability for the wave overall.

That seems to be alleviated now, as Amazon has the Stormtroopers on sale for $15.34 (normally $22.99). Since Amazon is notorious for making many price adjustments throughout each day, Entertainment Earth also has the Stormtroopers for $19.99 each (but they’ll arrive in May.) After all, you’ve got to have at least 50 Stormtroopers, right? 😀
