Even if you know the history behind each of the first four episodes subject matter, chances are you haven't seen it presented quite like this before. Check out the official trailer from earlier this month: The concept is familiar- a documentary series featuring interviews with the creators and notable personalities surrounding the main theme of each episode,[...]

All of the figures are sculpted well, and are nostalgia fuel for those of us who love collecting things like Kenner Star Wars figures Out of all the kids, my favorite here is Dustin, he looks pretty perfect for what these are The downside is that the joints are very brittle Arms and legs pop[...]

Funko is adding to your holiday decorations with new Home Alone Funko Pops! One of the all-time classic holiday films gets the Funko treatment.

From the original Kenner toy line in 1978, to the weird action-hero style of Power of the Force 2 in the 90's, The Vintage Collection, and the current Black Series line from Hasbro, fans of all ages use the figures to unlock their imaginations and transport them away to a galaxy far, far away. #gallery-1 { margin:[...]

With three types of Xenomorphs available, I figured ordering five should be good, since they randomly choose the boxes they send to you. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ The boxes themselves are styled after the vintage Kenner toys, and even[...]

They also announced that the first figure to be released on the vintage Kenner-inspired card would be chosen in a fan poll, and that is when the trouble started. There is a contingent of Star Wars fans that has decided that since Lucasfilm decided to move all of the pre-EU (Expanded Universe) content under a Legends[...]

Kenner perfected the action figure with their Star Wars line of action figures back in the late 70's and early 80's They sold millions upon millions of figures, playsets, vehicles, anything really It is one of the most beloved toy lines of all-time, and collectors (like myself) go gaga for loose and carded figures, spending[...]

The Kenner line of action figures are some of the most saught after collectibles out there, but we are talking everything here: store displays, tooth brushes, foreign food products, newspaper clippings, even school supplies It was with an eye twards acquiring some of these objects that I went to a unique and mythological event last[...]

The Star Wars logo is a little off center because of the tab punch, but the rest is straight vintage-Kenner style right down to the Kenner logo on the card The original art looks awesome, I only wish that the back of the card was 12-back style as well, but it still looks pretty great. #gallery-1[...]

Takara produced four figures in an 8-inch scale that featured more action than their Kenner counterparts, and had some weird sculpts as well They are pretty hard to obtain, and this one went for $450. #gallery-5 { margin: auto; } #gallery-5 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-5 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-5 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php[...]

By Christopher Smith Earlier this year, and in the wake of its partnership with Super 7 toys to bring Kenner's unreleased 1979 Alien prototypes to fully realized life, Funko announced a full "ReAction" line of retro 3 ¾" action figures (for those unfamiliar or born after about 1986, think Kenner's original Star Wars toyline: basic and[...]

It was filled with all these new action figures from a company called Kenner I grabbed the two I found the most interesting… a big hairy creature with a bandoleer belt and crossbow and a masked figure all in black with a red sword that came out of his hand. I had no idea what Star[...]

mini-comics that I remember coming with the Kenner toys (apologies if it turns out these were ghost-written by Justin Green with art by R Crumb or something; I haven't looked at them lately I do remember that one character's exclamation of Mon Dieu! was enough to get an issue taken away from me, when a[...]
