This outstanding set was part of Kenner’s first wave of EMPIRE STRIKES BACK toys. Of course, this snow fort isn’t featured in the film, but Kenner correctly understood that kids playing with STAR WARS figures didn’t just remake scenes from the movies.

The “Baby Yoda” craze that took the world by storm was tremendous fun and the fan base hadn’t been so united in loving a new STAR WARS story in quite a while. Season one debuted on Disney Plus on November 12, 2019. Season … Continue reading THE MANDALORIAN 4K Steelbooks Seasons 1 and 2
Based on the duel from OBI-WAN KENOBI on Disney Plus, we have a new 2-pack featuring a battle-damaged Vader! The figures come in a box - let's check it out.
