Kornercast Podcast #100- Reminiscing With Bill and Jr.

We are stuck at home, but Comic Con is still going strong. Hasbro has released details on their Comic Con 2020 Star Wars exclusives and I am very happy!

In this age of Internetness, the one thing Your Friendly Neighborhood Jman sure does miss is catalogs.

This year LEGO had a different set up and booth at Toy Fair. It was bright and spacious showing off a few new things for 2020.

From Empire Strikes Back’s 40th anniversary to The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda, we now have a better look at Hasbro’s plans for Star wars in 2020.

You can always count on Kotobukiya to put on a good show at Toy Fair, and 2020 was no exception. They showcased a great range of product, including the stunning new Women of Marvel Art FX+ series, some great new Star Wars statues, and more.

The Toybox line from the Disney Stores have added two villains to the line up, one from Star Wars and one from Marvel.

Our resident Star Wars expert Mike had to come and do the third in a trilogy of podcasts about the Rise of Skywalker.

A lot of us grew up watching Luke go from a whiney farm kid to a full fledged Jedi, and this year Hasbro captured some of the unique looks of the hero in this Vintage box set. So let’s open the set they sent over and see how he has changed.

Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker was the geek talk of of the week, and we had to have Mike back to talk all kinds of trailers and toys.

Way back when in the early days of 2019, Hasbro unveiled a brand new Darth Vader figure unlike anything they’ve produced before.  And thanks those same mighty fine folks at Hasbro, we at Kastor’s Korner were lucky enough to get our unworthy mitts on the Sith Lord before his imminent arrival at your favorite toy…

The Sith have now added some Troopers to their ranks in this new figure Hasbro sent over to us from the Rise of Skywalker. 

SDCC is the time of the year for exclusives, so it seems fitting that the first figure of the Black Series line is being brought back once again. So Hasbro sent over Boba Fett to give you a close look. 

At SDCC we got some one on one time with part of the Hasbro Star Wars team to talk toys and the landscape of retail for the brand.

Mike and Kelly went to Star Wars Celebration this year, and Mike came over to talk all about it on this week’s Podcast.
