Wednesday Jul 05, 2017
Wednesday Jul 05, 2017
Cole "JediCole" Houston and Eddie-Wan Medina have taken it upon themselves to let Hasbro Toys know what is lacking in their Star Wars line!
Specifically, they are launching The Force of July 2017 (because this episode ran late) with a very personal discussion of what they personally want to see in the coming years from Star Wars at Hasbro. Concentrating primarily on the often ignored 3.75" line, they share favorite picks that have yet to see the light of day. When it comes to the 6" Black Series, well, that is in the mix, too.
And the reason this turned into a two-parter!

Once more unto the toys, my friends! Once more!
Welcome to the 110th episode of Hey Kids, Comics! and the latest return to a topic that is a particular favorite of Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston - toys!
Action figures, playsets, unique and high end toys of every description are on your hosts minds this week. If super-hero movies are enjoying a Tanzanite Age, so too it would seem are toys. Marvel and DC Comics seem to be getting the most attention when it comes to multiple manufacturers vying for your toy dollar. So naturally Mattel and Hasbro are at the fore on this lively show that seeks to answer the question, "Where does he get those wonderful toys?!"
