Hasbro has just announced the Star Wars Ghost Series. With losses thinks to The Last Jedi Hasbro decided they needed to change things up. They will be releasing the new Ghost Series. These figures will feature the ghosts from Star Wars. 

Hasbro learned their lesson from the last film. They are now targeting both the younger audience that first was exposed to Star Wars from episode 1-3 as well as the generation that started with episode 4-6. They are including both versions of Anakin. They lost so much money from the last film they are doing things to cut costs. Unlike the last force ghost action figures made in the past these cards will feature nothing inside the bubble. By not making actual figures Hasbro expects to save a ton of money. 

Fans were expecting the series to be very limited with only a few known force ghosts. However Hasbro announced they will be including many other Star Wars ghosts like the ewok that dies in Return of the Jedi, Alderaan citizen, and more. They are even making some special large scale figures like Jabba the Hutt Ghost which will be in a large empty box. 

Hasbro is hoping this will reinvigorate their coffers. We will see how sales do when they hit toy stores  Amazon next week.

They looked like normal humans and they befriended the dinosaurs. The bad guys were known as the Rulons which were animal like. They used technology to subjugate the dinosaurs. While the cartoon only lasted 13 episodes the toy line lasted for 4 series from 1988-1990. During this time toys, coloring books, and other common kids products were made based on the franchise. Marvel even produced a short comic series. The Dino-Riders had and international p...

Disney and the Nazis: The Unauthorized Book Disney Doesn't Want You to Read: Disney in WWI

  Disney in WWI To understand WWII you have to first look at WWI. Many historians consider WWI to be merely the precursor to WIII or the two wars to be one war with a temporary cease fire. Walt Disney would take part in the war to end all wars and it would have a huge impact on him for the rest of his life. At a young age Walt Disney was patriotic. While in high school Walt would draw patriotic cartoons for his high school newspaper. It is not surprising then that would want to join the war effort. It may seem odd in modern times that people were so eager to go to war but we have changed as a society a great deal since then. The history of man is often changed by technology and in modern times the technological changes happen so rapidly that studies show we are not actually able to keep up but are behind what technology can do. This has changed us a great deal. Throughout history however war has been glorified and was a means to gain wealth and power. This idolized view of war was ...
