Funko posted their unboxing video of their Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 Collector Corps box. They also revealed the next box’s theme, Spider-man Homecoming. The POP! in the box is no surprise but the other contents, again, make up for my harsh words about the Rocket Raccoon POP!. Spoilers ahead. (more…)

Disney and Lucasfilm Announce Forces of Destiny
Star Wars Celebration is in full swing and there are already huge announcements.
Disney and Lucasfilm today announced Star Wars Forces of Destiny, a new initiative celebrating the inspiring stories of iconic heroes from across the Star Wars universe. An original series of animated shorts (each 2-3 minutes in length) will explore exciting, all new adventures of key characters including Rey, Jyn Erso, Sabine Wren, Princess Leia, Ahsoka Tano and others, ahead of books and a TV special later in the year. The stories will also be supported by a line of toys from Hasbro, including new ‘Adventure Figures’ – a fusion between traditional dolls and action figures, creating a whole new way to play Star Wars.
Star Wars Forces of Destiny will also be supported by global product extensions, such as books, apparel, bedding, and toys – including the new line of ‘Adventure Figures’ created by Hasbro, which bridges the gap between traditional action figures and dolls. Each individually designed figure features dynamic action, like Rey swinging her lightsaber, along with multiple points of articulation to help recreate the characters’ adventures and heroic moments with different poses.
“From Princess Leia to Sabine Wren, Star Wars heroines are unique, and we wanted to represent that in the product line for Star Wars Forces of Destiny,” said Jimmy Pitaro, Chairman, Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media. “The result is the creation of our new ‘Adventure Figures’ that celebrate the power and stories of these incredible characters and allow kids to recreate their most heroic moments at home.”
The 11-inch figures will depict characters including Rey, Jyn Erso, Princess Leia, Sabine Wren, plus loveable sidekicks and epic villains like BB-8, Chewbacca, Kylo Ren and many more. Hasbro is also rolling out Star Wars Forces of Destiny role play and accessories—from Rey’s Extendable Staff, to a new, electronic Jedi Power Lightsaber toy, which are part of the Star Wars Bladebuilders system.
You can read the whole announcement here. Its like Star Wars meets Barbie. I have a feeling collectors and little girls alike will be picking these up.
SPOILERS: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 Collector Corps POP! Revealed
If you haven’t see it by now, Funko revealed the POP! coming in this month’s Collector Corps box. I guess they don’t like keeping surprises anymore. That, or their box subscriptions are down and they have to tease the contents early to lure in more subscribers. Either way, if you want to check out the POP! read on. (more…)
