If you were wondering where the 3.75-inch figures were in yesterday’s Star Wars reveals from Hasbro (http://afpics.link/2bGG8ir), they couldn’t be contained in a single announcement! But there’s more.
Hasbro also shared their role play items, which include a voice changer Death Trooper mask and a pretty cool update to their Stormtrooper voice changer helmet.

We haven’t done an official AFP Free Stuff Giveaway in a while, but this one was worth the wait (if we do say so ourselves!) The Sith Lords at Hasbro were devious enough to send us a Dark Side-inspired, Jabba-sized pile of loot, and we are going to corrupt you with a chance (actually, five chances) to take it all for your own. After all, it furthers our nefarious goal of ruling the toy website universe.
You have until Friday, when the Force Awakens opens, to enter this giveaway. There’s a bunch of stuff included – check out the pics above and read on for how to enter and what is included. Remember – through power, I gain victory!

As has been their tradition for the last few year, Hasbro kicked off NYCC 2015 with their ‘Twas the Night Before… Party, revealing new items from their action figure brands. We took a look at their Marvel and Star Wars lines, with a focus on their 6-inch figures in Marvel Legends and the Black Series from Star Wars. And we got to chat with our long-time friend, Jesse Falcon, from the Marvel licensing team.

Our good friend Jedd was at the Singapore Toy, Game, and Comic Convention this past weekend, and sent us this update.
I just got done with STGCC 2015! I’ve attached some booth photos, as with every year, Hot Toys has some impressive dioramas and displays up, with more of a Star Wars bent this year due to the imminent release of The Force Awakens. We also had a giant life-sized Hulk vs. Hulkbuster statue. The photos of Marvel statues (Elektra, Daredevil, Iron Man, Black Bolt) are from XM Collectibles. I’m not really sure who made the Poison Ivy statue prototype but I thought it was pretty enough to include. Then there are the actually levitating DeLorean and hoverboard models from KidLogic.
The local Star Wars collecting community did up a few dioramas, including the LEGO Simpsons family watching a performance of Jizz (yes, we’ve all heard the jokes) by the Bith musicians at Mos Eisley Cantina, and Hasbro Black Series figures lining up to get some satay from street food vendor Jabba the Hutt.
Here are links to my annual Mega Picture Posts:
We’ll have more from Jedd soon, as he was able to interview toy designer Jason Freeny, famous for his anatomical cross-section toy sculptures. Stay tuned!

Did you survive Force Friday? Now we’re on to the next step – Hasbro has teased us with their social media campaign for Star Wars: The Force Awakens with a pair of cool faction posters. As we revel in the latest Star Wars toys leading up to the opening of the new movie, Hasbro is asking us to make the fundamental decision – to “Choose Your Path” on the Force. Will it be with the Resistance on the Light Side of the Force, or with the First Order on the Dark Side?
So get on your favorite social media platforms and let your allegiance be known, with hashtags #ChooseLightSide and #ChooseDarkSide. It’s a great time to share pics of your Force Friday hauls, and also to follow AFP on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and Instagram. May the Force be with you!
