Toy Fair took place last weekend in New York, and wouldn’t you know it, our own Justin
Bolger was there to show you all of the new Star Wars goodies you have to look forward
to in 2017.
Ugh I'm so jealous of Justin right now.
What’s up guys I’m here at New York Toy Fair to check out all of Hasbro’s 40th Anniversary
Star Wars collectibles.
And to see what other Star Wars stuff we can find on the floor
These are brand new Star Wars, we call them MyMojis
They’re blind bagged which means you don’t know what you’re going to get and they should
be in stores within the next month or two.
This is the Star Wars model kits from Bandai The screws are molded in colors which makes
them easy to put together because first of all you don’t need glue but you also don’t
need to paint them.
Over here we have the movie realization line and they are based on real Japanese characters
so you can see the armor is faithfully recreated And then you got the other line
Threepio has been released already and Artoo is coming out soon.
These are our new Rogue One sets that will be coming out March 1st.
The Battle on Scarif and the Y-Wing Starfighter Here we have some of our new 6 inch Black
Series The 40th Anniversary die-cast collection
We upped our game another step with Poe Dameron’s X-Wing pilot helmet.
We’ve actually put surround sound into the helmet itself
And it actually fits my big head!
The great thing about centerpiece is that it acts essentially as a centerpiece to your
collection.
We’re still carrying on with Rogue One action figures
Star Wars is full of character, I don’t think we’ll ever catch up.
40 years ago, a little company called Kenner started making Star Wars figures
They made 12, we’re kind of re creating the display stand so you’ll be able to buy
the early bird Legacy pack which is the reversible stand and you can put all of your 6 inch action
figures against it and recreate that original 12 lineup.
Now there are a couple figures that we haven’t produced which we’re revealing today
The vinyl cape Jaw and also the Death Star Commander as well.
And these are on the original Kenner packaging right?
Exactly so yeah we went back and looked at the original Kenner packaging
We had to change the design a little bit to allow it to hang but essentially we’ve taken
a lot of inspiration from what it originally was.
That’s a wrap from Toy Fair, the ultimate power in the toy universe.
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for all the awesome Star Wars stuff you saw today on the
Star Wars Show.
The captain says you are a friend, I will not kill you.
Alright guys, this week we are joined on the couch by the Toy Hunter, pop culture expert
and Star Wars supergeek, Jordan Hembrough.
Thank you for joining us!
Thank you!
Thank you for having me.
So what would you say was the toy that had you hooked?
The original Star Wars 12 Packs.
I will never forget that I was in my classroom in New Jersey at Jesse O George school in
New Jersey and I see my dad come into the classroom and he gave them to me in class
and I opened them up and actually used them for show and tell.
Show and tell, here’s my Ben Kenobi!
Wow, so what’s more fun for you?
The hunt, or the find?
The real joy in everything is connecting people to their childhood
I’ve actually seen grown men cry and say “I haven’t had this since I was five!”
And that brings up an interesting point about Star Wars completists, people who buy everything.
Can you tell me how things have changed this time around?
Toy companies are making stuff in such mass quantities nowadays, looking forward the only
way these new toys are going to be worth money is if the companies really make a consorted
effort to produce them in limited numbers as well.
Exclusives, you know you got your Comic Con exclusives, you have your limited runs, stuff
like that…is that worth holding onto in boxes
Yeah I think that stuff is always going to go up in value because right off the that
you have this perfect synergy of limited quantity with very savvy marketing.
And what happens is, people stand out in line for these figures and they hold them and covet
them and invariably they go up in value so you have these compeltists who want everything.
I gotta get everything.
What kind of tips would you give Star Wars collectors?
The biggest thing I tell people is collect what you love, don’t worry if it’s going
to make you money or it’s going to be worth money.
Just really really collect what is important to you and then when you get to that you find
the vintage stuff.
Try and collect it in box and trust me there is a lot of box stuff still out there and
just preserve it.
Keep it in good condition and most importantly, if you have it store it someplace safe.
And I always tell people, your toys just like everything else in life, just like your pets
should live where you live.
That’s what’s really going to give you the most joy out of what you enjoy collecting.
You said in an interview that no one ever asks you for Jar
Yeah nobody has ever asked me for a Jar Binks.
Why?
He’s awesome Jar Jar kind of got a bad rep.
And he has such fun merch.
Jar Jar I’m going to say right now, Jar Jar is really underappreciated.
Let’s bring him back.
Alright, should we do it right now?
Alright we’re officially bringing him back Cool, start your movement guys
Jar Jar 2017
(Chopper beeps and boops) Uh, I don’t know.
(laser blasts, Chopper screams)
That was a VERY toy filled episode.
I know, its almost as if we planned it that way.
And since we spent the last 9 minutes or so talking toys, I see no problem in keeping
this Star Wars Toy Tacular going by asking you,
I just can’t believe we’re going with Star Wars Toy Tacular
Yeah, Toy Yoda Thon didn’t get approved.
What!
Who didn’t like that?
That is gold.
People I guess…
But we want to know what your favorite Star Wars Toy of all-time is.
I had a breakaway Kenner speeder bike, the little crash damage one and I used to just
slam it into things in my backyard all day long.
You would.
Send your favorite to us using the hashtag BestStarWarsToy, and we’ll feature our favorites
here next week.
What was yours?
It was actually a toy Yoda, a little Yoda.
