And how new is the new Slave I from Hasbro at Toys “R” Us? The answer may surprise you! (Not really, but it sounds engaging, doesn’t it?) Read on for this week’s mad phat Q&A!
"Ain't Nothing like the real thing, Baby" is a tune that Jodo Kast should have listened to when taking on the reputation and identity of one Boba Fett. This K-Mart exclusive improves upon the 2008 version with a removable helmet and new headsculpt as well as an updated paint app.
