The Next Wave of Star Wars: The Force Awakens Pop Figures

As Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters across the planet...and as tradition dictates, only on the biggest of films, am I the last of the last to see the damn thing, Funko lets loose a tiny pile of pictures of the next wave of The Force Awakens Pop Vinyl Figures! I mean, comparatively it's tiny, seeing how the first dump of these lil adorable plastic guys was about 6 to 8 deep..give or take..i'm too lazy to look it up. THEY RELEASED 20 ALL AT ONCE. Sure why not. Here's the next 5 hitting stores...sooon...and while I don;t really need to say it.. SPOILER WARNING!! DO NOT CONTINUE INTO THE ARTICLE IF YOU DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS SPOILED!!

The Mystery Surrounding Star Wars: The Force Awakens Rey

Do we have to say it? SPOILER WARNING!! IF YOU WISH TO HAVE NOTHING RUINED FOR YOU, DO NOT READ AHEAD. 

There have been many fan theories about several characters in the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens film buzzing about the inter webs. Some make a lot of sense...and some are laughable, reassuring us that our geeky brothers and sisters are capable of putting waaaay too much thought into a movie they had no hand in creating. Yes, I get the fandom, and the love, having been a fan all my life, not long after my mother took me to see the first film as a child. I guess I just don't take it to extremes...unless I've got something to squint at for half an hour, forcing me to form my own hypothesis around the origins of one particular character...

More Mind Blowing Star Wars Adidas

A short while ago we blew your fragile little dorkling minds with the full upcoming line of Adidas Star Wars paraphernalia. Now we get word that the crown jewels of this collection are yet to come! Behold the beauty of a full line of original Star Wars Adidas sneaker designs coming this Fall to Adidas Originals shops. Does this mean those awesome Boba Fett sneakers are coming stateside? Looks like it. My estimation is that the edition of the sneakers on the blister card available across the pond is the specific exclusive, while those of us wishing to just wear those most awesome of kicks will be able to get them in the land of cross dressing restaurants and Lady Gaga (which is almost the same thing, but I'm uninspired today. Sue me.) Here's what's on tap...








C-3PO/R2-D2
Han Solo in Carbonite
Jabba the Hutt
Boba Fett





















UPDATE:: Adidas PR says the entire line is dropping THIS MONTH so keep checking THIS PAGE in particular, as I'm sure they will pop up there eventually. We are told the sneakers will be available in Adidas Originals Stores worldwide as well as selected wholesalers. The Boba's are going for $130 (which means we have confirmation you'll be able to get them in the states), so earmark that next paycheck.
