Christmas comes twice a year for Star Wars fans, the first time is Force Friday and thanks to Hasbro we’re getting a good look at some of the new figures that will be hitting stores shelves between now and December when Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters.

Force Friday II is the massive Star Wars merchandising extravaganza that launches starting at midnight Sept. 1. It gives the die-hard fans the chance to get their hands on some figures before everyone else.

THR’s Heat Vision got an exclusive look at a line of Hasbro’s Force Friday figures, including the company’s prestigious Black Series six-inch figures.

The first figure standout looks to be the First Order Stormtrooper Executioner figure. This one will be exclusively available at Target and retail for $19.99. This trooper’s duty is to “dispense final justice to those who feign loyalty to the First Order.” Fans are already speculating that Finn (John Boyega) will have to face them for deserting the First Order in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

10 secrets you probably didn’t know about Transformers!

10 Things You Didn’t Know About The TransformersThe Transformers comprise one of the most popular media franchises of all time. Having started life out as a toy line in 1984, the Transformers have branched out into animated television shows, comic books, countless forms of merchandise and, most recently, a very financially successful live action movie franchise (in spite of the fact that Michael Bay has actually done a pretty terrible job of directing them).

If you aren’t already familiar with the Transformers concept (and we have to assume that you probably are, unless you’ve been living under a rock for 30 years!), it’s about two factions of feuding alien robots from the planet Cybertron – the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons – who can disguise themselves as more regular machines (such as cars, trucks, tanks and even portable music players).

There is, however, quite a lot about the franchise as a whole that isn’t such common knowledge – and that’s what this article is going to be all about. Here are 10 things you probably didn’t know about the Transformers: Continue reading

The newest edition of Star Wars Monopoly. Where’s Rey?

A new edition of the board game for The Force Awakens includes Finn, Kylo Ren, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader tokens – with the notable absence of Rey, the film’s lead.
