Toy Fair 2016: Star Wars: The Force Awakens... ROUND TWO! *UPDATED!*

You've seen the movie now..what..6 times? You've carefully formulated and written 20 page essays on why Kylo Ren is, in fact, not a "whiny emo boy". You've snapped up every Force Awakens item Hasbro, JAKKS, Hallmark, Funko and the rest of the Star Wars Cabal has thrown out there...and now it's time for MORRRRE!!

Disney today revealed details of new Star Wars: The Force Awakens products kept under wraps to preserve surprises for fans. With the film now breaking box office records and storylines officially revealed, new toys, collectibles and more are rolling out at Disney Store locations and mass retailers nationwide.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens has made instant icons of new characters like Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren.

Yes, We Found Rey... But She's Not Where She Should Be

The controversy rages on, with said rage fueled by both camps. Half the planet questions the lack of Rey (arguably the main character of Star Wars: The Force Awakens) representation on shelves in toy stores, on T shirts and anywhere else you might see a geeky Star Wars thing. The other half questions this notion, having done a bit of googling and finding, at the very least, an impressive horde of Rey items rivaling any female hero that has come before her. While both sides are right in their own perspective, this story is more about where Rey is turning up, or rather, where she is not.

LEGO's Buildable Force Awakens

It's a new year, and as is custom, that means NEW LEGO SETS!! It's fantastic to see excitement building for LEGO again as my geeky generation ages and has children of their own...who they have to fight to keep away from their LEGO sets. I SAID THE DUPLO IS YOUR STUFF! DON'T TOUCH MY THINGS!!! Damn kids. They expect to get fed and clothed...and then they want your toys too. Arguably one of LEGO's biggest licenses is Star Wars and a little film called The Force Awakens is certainly cause for plenty of building...

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...

Official Images of Hasbro's Full Star Wars: The Force Awakens Toy Line!

Welp..it's all out there now! What was once a trickle...a 3.75 inch store leak in Ohio...a Black Series link in another state...LEGO's leaking in Germany..and now...all of it..in one place...for..whatever reason! Time to boogie. Though Force Friday is still 2 whooooole weeks away...I'd gather they don't have much left to reveal..which is fine as that is the on shelf date anyway, and it's good to know what you'd like to buy before you go buy it, don't you think? US TOO! It's like we are twins. A sharing of minds. A mutual psychic geekiness. We've got a pretty big mound of toys to get through so let us begin....

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Action Figures Strike Early *UPDATED 8-14*

Just like a good villain, Star Wars: The Force Awakens Kylo Ren has ignored the wishes of Hasbro and Disney and hit stores early...because...SITH HAPPENS!!! Actually Jedi Temple tipped us off to an ebay auction for the first retail 3.75 inch Force Awakens figure available for the low low price of $99 dollars. The gentleman selling informed us his buddy picked up the figure at Walmart...which we assume started with him looking around to see if he was on camera, then trying very hard to not do a happy lil dance, then choking down his unbridled glee as he quick walked to checkout.
