Meet Goss Toowers - the Resistance's famous mechanic.  Dig him up and shake his hand, and then wonder just what role he plays in the movie.  He's got awesome metallic gloves and a spiffy helmet, but is he a character or is he just scenery?  We'll find out soon, but until then we can look at the figure and squint.  Read on!

We got a new Astromech with BB-8, so let's enjoy a new protocol droid with PZ-4CO!  She's blue, she has a long neck, and she looks and feels more toy-like than a lot of other recent figures.  For this reason, why wouldn't you want to buy one?   Read on!

Hasbro's new Battle Action Millennium Falcon is the best toy for the holiday season according to the Telegraph. It may not be a close to scale B.M.F., but features plenty of electronic sounds and lights, not to mention a Nerf firing canon, that should be just the right kind of play magic that would attract the parental demographic looking for gift giving ideas for their The Force Awakens mesmerized kids.

John Boyega is interviewed in the latest issue of CNET where he describes how he feels about being an action figure and his character in the upcoming The Force Awakens. “I think Finn is a very interesting character.  Finn is going to represent that classic ‘Star Wars’ narrative.  We have all these new characters coming in, but Finn is going to be one of the characters that carries on the narrative that we all know from the original".

Meet General Hux!  It's a new character that totally isn't Denis Leary cosplaying as Toht from Raiders.  He's got a long coat, a short gun, and a hat - what more could you ask for?  If it was First Order logos on his sleeves, you'd get that too.  Anyway, it's neat - read on!
