Yea, you read that right, Hasbro appreciation. Toy Fair starts today, and today I also got the new Ben Kenobi Hasbro put out and I have to say, thank you Hasbro. It's a great figure and a great TOY. Couple this with the Falcon they put out and just, wow. Now not everything Hasbro makes is great, but if you know what you want to collect and are willing to wait you get some great gems. Right now I have a display of 11 of the first 12 '77/'78 releases that have been done in the new line. All that is missing is the EU Death Squad Trooper. Now are all 11 figures perfect? No, the Leia has a china doll look to her face and swivel elbows, the 3PO is the "Ewok Deity" one but has wonky legs but ya know what? They are great toyss first and foremost. Hasbro knows "collectors" buy their stuff but their target audience really is kids and more often then not they hit that mark. Honestly, I really don't buy much from Hasbro but when I do it's usually an update on a vintage figure and a pretty good effort at that. At times it makes me want to scale back on the 1/6 scale stuff because I know I'm never going to get a Kenner line in 1/6 scale, but I JUST might with Hasbro. Anyone else feel this way or am I crazy?
