A few years back Funko got into the 6 inch action figure market with their Legacy series. One of their first liscense was Game of Thrones that brought collectors two series totally 12 figures. After that they did smaller series with liscense like Firefly and The Rocketeer. After only marginal success, it seemed like Funko was willing to let the brand sit on the back burner while they perused other projects. CEO Brian Mariotti said that indeed was not the case, and that they secured the rights for 6 inch figures. Many have tried and failed, meeting resistance from creator George Miller. No clue as to when to expect new figures but, now the less, this is great news for fans.

Nerdist Gives Us an Exclusive Look at STAR WARS Elite Series Figures for D23
Nerdist revealed some nice looking figures that are going to available at the D23 Expo this weekend. So if you plan on going, be on the look out. For those not attending, I am sure some will pop up on eBay and other secondary sales sites. But with a run limited to 1000 and considering they will retail for around $80, the price might not be what you are willing to pay. Call me old school but I also like that more and more figures are getting the retro real clothes treatment. You can check out all the details from the Nerdist below.
From Nerdist:
Good versus evil: the eternal fight is lore ingrained in Star Wars storytelling. If you can’t decide whether or not to join the dark side, it’s best to have your action figures battle it out. To help you recreate iconic dark versus light showdowns for yourself, Disney Store is releasing packaged heroes and villains together in one perfect set. (more…)
