Nov 26, 2020: Star Wars Holiday Gift Guide and Black Friday Sales - Video Podcast

 "Hasbro doesn't want to make 3.75-inch figures because there is no profit." "Hasbro is lying about Vintage Series sales numbers. They're really higher than Black Series ones." "If you don't pay full price for the rerelease of Slave I you are killing the line." "The Vintage Collection line is dead. Hasbro just hasn't told us yet." Those and many other rumors swirl around Hasbro's current 3.75-inch figure line "The Vintage Collection." Fans, frustrated by the lack of new figures released in that line, start "storytelling" to come up with reasons why the number of new Star Wars figures in the classic scale is so small while the 6-inch Black Series line gets so many. On this new Star Wars Action News podcast we take those statements directly to the source! Listen as our host Arnie interviews Patrick Schneider (Hasbro's Senior Brand Manager for Star Wars) and Eric Franer (Product Designer on Hasbro's Star Wars team). In addition to asking about Black Series rereleases, Retro Collection beasts, and, the heart of the conversation, what is the status of The Vintage Collection. Also on this show Arnie and Marjorie are again joined by Chris and Johnathan to discuss the history of the 3.75-inch highly articulated line, the benefits of 6-inch versus 3.75-inch figures, and the feasibility of the many conspiracy theories that surround the toys. Listen (or watch) now to hear all this and more on this Star Wars Action News podcast!

"May the 4th be with you." What started as an internet pun (or a lisp) has been co-opted by Disney and become their official "Star Wars Day." (Including terms of use per the Disney+ Twitter account!) Still, commercialization of fan culture is nothing new and this past weekend was a great celebration of Star Wars. We had new figure reveals from Hasbro for both the Black Series and The Vintage Collection. Gentle Giant (Diamond Select Toys) released a new mini-bust. Hot Toys got in on the action with one cool repaint and one highly requested rerelease, and more! So join Arnie and Marjorie with guests Chris and Johnathan as they tell you about the best bargains, the coolest reveals, and the current state of Star Wars Celebration 2020.

March 30, 2020: Recent Hasbro Reveals - Video Podcast

New York Toy Fair is just around the corner, and while Hasbro seems to have given away the secrets early, Star Wars Action News hosts Arnie and Marjorie think a few more surprises are on the way.

In prep, join Marjorie and Arnie in this episode where they get Hyperreal, and hands-on, with Hasbro’s Hyperreal Darth Vader figure. Then join them this weekend for all the coverage LIVE from New York, including Hasbro, LEGO, Gentle Giant, Kotobukiya, and more! Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

For Star Wars collectors 2019 was a mix of the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good included the most detailed Star Wars vehicle/playset ever in the form of Jabba's Sail Barge. Plus the Black Series 6-inch line continued strong with great offerings from Clone Wars Armor Obi-Wan Kenobi to The Mandalorian, plus several Rise of Skywalker figures. Mixed in with that was some bad: The limited-articulation 3.75" line that had been a mainstay for years was cancelled. The Vintage Collection filled that niche, but lacked in new figures and in-store availability. The new 5-inch Galaxy of Adventures line didn't click with many collectors. Then in the ugly was the limited availability of Retro Collection figures at Target--especially the multi-colored Darth Vader. And what, no Baby Yoda toys? In this new Star Wars Action News podcast the team comes together to reflect on what the last year brought--and what they hope the new year can deliver!

All of 2019 feels like a slow build-up to the biggest cinematic event of the year: Star Wars Episode IX in December. With "Triple Force Friday" already announced for October it's clear many of the toys and figures of 2019 will be a secret for eight more months. Yet Hasbro still had plenty of Star Wars to share in both 3.75-inch and 6-inch scales at this year's Toy Fair International in New York. Join Arnie and Marjorie now for all the information directly from New York!
