This week in Q&A - Can a line get too big? I think so. BB-8 - why can't you buy him alone? Off-topic Aliens question - why not? I like Xenomorphs and Funko, so let's do this.

This week in Q&A - Edition Sizes - are a mystery. But we can make some guesses. And The Force Awakens - why not? I got space to fill. And G.I. Joe - do I know something you don't know? Is that a cruel tease? Has anyone seen my keys?

This week in Q&A - Size Matters - why are there different sizes and materials? Also action figures - are we getting enough? And once more, 6-inch bootlegs - this is a real thing. And it probably will be for a while.

Ultimate Studio Edition Star Wars Collectibles are now up for grabs at http://collectibles.starwars.com/.  This new product line is yet another prop replica maker, with one key difference - these ones boast even more authenticity, and are priced (and packaged) accordingly.   Eight pieces are up for grabs now, all from The Force Awakens, including Vader's melted helmet (pictured) as a limited edition of 500 for $3,500.

This week in Q&A - Licensing - is there a reason nobody but Hasbro is doing 3 3/4-inch figures? (Yes.) And figure posters - a relic of the past? Finally, figures you skipped - can we say that their return is inevitable?

According to VentureBeat - Netflix to become exclusive U.S. pay TV home for latest Disney movies from September.   But what does that mean?  From the article:

"It’s worth emphasizing that this will apply only to new theatrical releases, as there are separate licensing deals in place for other Disney content."

Well, there you have it - maybe this will pave the way to that all-important live-action show that we've never seen much progress on, if it's ever going to happen.

This week in Q&A - Droid Factory - let's keep talking! And carded figures - where are the singles at? Finally, 6-inch figures - did we see the popularity coming? (Yes.)

This video (thanks, friend of the site and also me Shaunputer) by Bright Sun Films gives all of us a quick update to the rise and subsequent fall of Target in Canada. Apparently, Canada is not conducive to selling at retail. If you can't find figures in the Great White North, or just want to know what the fuss was about, go watch this. It's entertaining.

This week in Q&A - Disney Droids - did we miss some? I hope not. Also Europe Availability - guess what I don't have insights on? Also the big displays - not bad!

This week in Q&A - Rebels - are you hoping to buy TV show figures for your kids? Well... it's not going to be easy at the moment. Kmart - let's talk about the decline of one of our greatest toy assets.
