About two weeks ago Todd McFarlane gave an hourlong interview to YouTube action figure reviewer Shartimus Prime. And while it’s not really about Star Wars at all, McFarlane Toys has no Star Wars license of course, it’s still a very interesting interview, since McFarlane provides some insight into the industry. So anyone interested in the business of making toys should definitely check out the interview and take the time to listen to it. Among other things McFarlane talks about how insane shipping prices became in 2021, from $2,000 for one container to $20,000. And he also talks in detail about the difference between a privately owned company like McFarlane Toys and the big players who are all publically traded companies with responsibilities to their shareholders. But what made a lot of waves are McFarlane’s comments about female action figures, namely his statement that female action figures simply don’t sell as well as male hero characters and that boys simply prefer the male heroes, even over the villains, and even more so over the female characters and that it would be a bad idea to make a female centric action figure wave, because it would not sell as well. It didn’t take long for the attacks to start, as usual on Twitter, but sites like Bleeding Cool also chimed in and disputed McFarlane’s statements. So today I want to ask you if you are happy with the female characters we have in the Star Wars action figure lines and if you’d like more female characters or think the number we have right now is ok. Click through for the discussion!
Yay or nay?

It looks like we will have to wait just a few days more for the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Premiere date has officially moved to Friday, May 27th (Likely so it can premiere live at Celebration). We will also be getting the first TWO episodes for the premiere. This news came via a social media message from Ewan McGregor. Click through to see the announcement video…

After eons of waiting I received two long delayed figures today: Vice Admiral Rampart and Wrecker from The Bad Batch. I had pre-ordered both ages ago so I should be happy now to finally have them. Only I am not. I look at Rampart and see a cookie cutter Tarkin clone with a new head. The first thing I noticed was the very inaccurate rank insignia. Rampart is a vice admiral, not a Grand Moff. And when I look at Wrecker’s box I feel like an idiot for overpaying for a figure that comes with one backpack, one knife, one blaster and one helmet. The box is ca. 75% empty air. The mouse droid that comes with Rampart is nice to have, sure, but I really didn’t need a Rampart accessory for that. To be honest, I pre-ordered both figures “just because”. So I have a full Bad Batch team maybe. More like a checkbox. But is it fun? Does it excite me? No. And I wonder why. Well, I can tell you why and it’s something we have talked about before. It’s a perfect storm of increased prices and low effort. To the point of cynical laziness on Hasbro’s part. Click through for a discussion!

JTA reader Michael W. found The Vintage Collection Remnant Stormtrooper figure at his local Walmart for a mere $3.50. Keep in mind, this was the first time Michael ever saw the figure in brick and mortar. It makes you wonder what’s the point of retail anymore (on so many levels).

Hello Toy Runners! We are back today with the 131st TRT. I am still waiting on my preorder of the TVC Lobot figure from Hasbropulse (big surprise). Thankfully, a fellow collector on Facebook had one for a very reasonable price loose, and I snagged it quickly. Since the recent Gennedy Clone Wars figures have all arrived, things seem pretty quiet.

Kotobukiya has announced their latest statue from the ARTFX+ line: Mandalorian & Grogu with Beskar Staff.
From the Star Wars™ live-action series, The Mandalorian™, comes a story about an extraordinary adventure between the Mandalorian™ the and Child, known as Grogu™, as they make their way through a dangerous galaxy in an uncertain age.
This new release joins the ARTFX+ linup equipped with armor and new weapons from The Mandalorian Season 2. This statue portrays the Mandalorian holding a Beskar™ spear in his right hand, and Grogu in his left, as they continue their journey together. He has been replicated in great detail while being in 1/10 scale. The statue can be displayed freely using the magnets in his feet and the steel plate in the square base.

Great Scott! The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Lucasfilm has hired Christopher Lloyd for a yet undisclosed guest starring role in The Mandalorian season 3! Most if not all of you will know Lloyd as the Addams Family movies. And now Christopher Lloyd joins the Star Wars galaxy. Season 3 of The Mandalorian has a tentative release date of late 2022, so more or less two years after season 2 was first released. Who do you think Lloyd will play? A villain? An eccentric chaotic good character? Will he be friend or foe to Din Djarin? What would you prefer?

Now that we’re closer than ever to recreating all of the vintage Kenner characters from the 1980 The Empire Strikes Back line thanks to the announcement of both classic Kenner Bespin Security Guard figures, it’s time that Hasbro gets busy working releasing a The Vintage Collection of the Twin-Pod Cloud Car vehicle. Hasbro, in case you forgot, you have the tooling for a definitive re-release of this amazing vehicle back from 2010. And if you add a carded figure of an alternate (Twin-Pod) Cloud Car Pilot (please give us something different), collectors would be elated with your decision!

It looks like the Walmart Exclusive Clone Wars 6-inch General Grievous is now shipping (and arriving) on doorsteps. If you had this on pre-order then check your shipping status. If you still need this, I would keep an eye on the product page.

Let us know in the comments if yours is shipping (or has arrived).

As you know, we’ve just finished up reviewing what many are calling the “greatest of all time” wave of The Vintage Collection Clone Wars figures. Yes, the wave was nothing more than simple repaints, but it added the Clone Wars entertainment logo to The Vintage Collection repertoire and added new characters to the line for the first time. If you passed on this wave of figures, you’re missing out badly. With its runaway success, we believe that Hasbro and Walmart can work together again to develop two additional waves with little to no new tooling while making collectors inordinately happy simultaneously. Click through to check out our suggestions and the figures they can use to quickly assemble two more unique figure assortments for us. (more….)

Subscriber growth for Disney’s streaming platform has stalled considerably in recent months. Disney+ has about 130 million subscribers worldwide, but Disney would like to increase that number to 240-260 million in the next two years. To achieve this more than ambitious goal Disney is now changing its strategy. An ad-supported subscription model will be added to Disney+ in late 2022 in the US, other territories will most likely follow in 2023. No further details are known at this moment, i.e. how much this ad-supported subscription will cost and if there will be any limitations. If you are not a subscriber yet… would an ad-supported subscription at a lower price convince you otherwise? Or would Disney need to add a lot more original and new content first for you to reconsider? As things are now Disney has a few tentpole series or movies every few months, but little else to keep fans of Star Wars and Marvel (one major target demographic of the service) entertained with new content. Maybe Disney needs to invest even more in new programming (and a broader variety of programming) to reach the lofty subscriber goals.

We last talked about the streaming ratings for The Book of Boba Fett two weeks ago, in the meantime Nielsen added episodes 5 and 6 to their charts. So how did the Mandalorian episodes with Luke Skywalker fare? After episode 4 The Book of Boba Fett had less than 600 million minutes streamed, an improvement after the previous decline with episode 3. Episodes 5 and 6 did give the series the much expected boost, but it’s still far removed from what The Mandalorian had. The Book of Boba Fett accumulates 776 million minutes with episodes 1-6, which is about the same as last week when episode 5 was added. Which is less than what WandaVision or Loki had, much less than The Mandalorian (1.34 billion minutes with the season finale added), but still pretty good and a lot better than things like Hawkeye or Falcon & Winter Soldier. But because of the competition The Book of Boba Fett dropped a few places, down to #7 now. The Book of Boba Fett is the only Disney+ series on the charts. Amazon Prime makes a rare appearance on the charts with Reacher, which took the #2 position with 1.84 billion minutes streamed over eight episodes. The charts are otherwise dominated by Netflix as usual. Let’s see if the series finale can improve the numbers. Samba TV reported their numbers several weeks ago and they claimed the finale perfomed much better than the Mandalorian season 2 finale, something which I find somewhat difficult to believe. Let’s see what the Nielsen streaming charts will say about that next week!
Pretty popular characters

Adam Savage’s (former Mythbuster) Tested YouTube channel received their Razor Crest a while ago. A thorough unboxing video was released the day they got their hands on it, now you can see how Adam Savage and his co-host Norm custom paint the Razor Crest and give it a much needed weathering and more metallic luster. It’s a 40 minute video, so maybe take your time to watch it, but for customizers it may be interesting to see how a pro approaches custom painting the Razor Crest. And this is most likely not the last Razor Crest video on Tested since co-host Norm already said that he will definitely add LEDs to the ship, so stay tuned for more to come! But for now you can see how Adam and Norm paint the Razor Crest to make it look even better! Click on the screenshot below to watch the video! Will you customize your Razor Crest or will you keep it like it is?

Yes, I’m on an alliteration kick today. But, holy cow. Did you receive your Walmart exclusive wave of The Vintage Collection Clone Wars figures?

Did you get your complete order, or are some still on their way? As one Instagram reader put it, this wave is GOAT, and we can’t wait to review them all. Stay tuned for more!

It’s like a dream come true. After many years of telling collectors that characters from Genndy Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars were off-limits, the tides have turned and Hasbro produced a sub-line of figures based on the micro-series that are as beautiful as they are endearing and nostalgic. Let’s take a look at Aayla Secura! (more….)

We’re thrilled to again participate in @SWTVC’s March Madness event! In January our readers, along with 400 other collectors submitted their top 25 most wanted TVC figures. Thanks to the help of the folks running SWTVC, we now have a compiled bracket with the top 64 figures from those 400 lists. They have been pitted head to head to see who the most wanted action figure is! You can find a hi-res blank bracket here. Once completed, share your bracket in our comments so that @SWTVC can compile the number one winners from across the board!
