For many, it is the only source of engagement we have. But as we enter our 15th season of this column, we will continue to bring the latest figures and collectibles from Hasbro and other companies to our database and keep the momentum going. Thank you for your patronage after all of these years. Let’s look at the re-released Boba Fett (Prototype Armor) figure. (more….)

They should be ashamed. (more….)
