The coolest new thing Hasbro unveiled at Comic-Con this year - admittedly, it's a small pool from which to draw - was the Boba Fett Helmet which we were later told is coming in 2020. This high-end toy helmet will make you glad if you sold your 2010ish The Clone Wars model recently.
Jabba's palace in 6-inch scale, complete with a Rancor, and the Barge in 3 3/4-inch scale, were on display in full force! Packed with modern and classic figures as well as what we have been informed were custom figures, there's not a lot of new product here - but the diorama itself is pretty spectacular. Check it out!
So how was the Hasbro breakfast here in San Diego? Awesome. But for Star Wars? There's nothing you haven't already seen. Hasbro showed off its Hyper Real Darth Vader and Black Series X-Wing Helmet along with a couple of Comic-Con exclusives. We snapped a few photos, but you've seen these before. New reveals were promised in this afternoon's panel, so stay tuned for more!
It's that time again! If you like action figures, vinyl figures, robots, toys, and other collectibles - which may or may not include Star Wars - you should come to New Toys, Action Figures, and Statues with Entertainment Earth's Adam Pawlus at 3:00 PM in room #9 on Thursday, July 18. You'll see over a hundred slides of debuts, reveals, and hopefully new-to-you toys and goodies from a variety of manufacturers.
Or you could not.
The official Star Wars site, PR people, and all sorts of fans saw the news that you can See the New Sith Trooper from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker at SDCC 2019. This means that the people behind the movies now know what smart, handsome toy professionals have known for years - red looks good on Stormtroopers.
Funko, Hasbro, Loungefly, Topps, Rubie's (Hi Lenny!), Hot Toys, and more - interestingly, not Mattel - will be selling some first-look Sith Trooper action figures. For those with memory issues, Hasbro has done "sneak preview" The Black Series figures for all of the Disney-era movies except for Solo, and nearly identical figures were released with different packaging and sometimes without some accessories later.
