The Rantcor Pit #68 Hey Hasbro! (Part 2: Back in Black)
Saturday Jul 15, 2017
Saturday Jul 15, 2017
It's time to talk Star Wars toys that don't exist - yet - once again.
Welcome to the second (and final) part of 'Hey Hasbro!" in which Cole Houston and Eddie Medina dig deeper into their modern Star Wars toy wish list. What characters and creatures do they favor that they did not get to last time? Can they stick to talking about just the 6" scale Black Series? Can only two episodes of the show truly suffice to cover so much ground?
Find out what Your Favorite Star Wars Guys hope to check off of their collecting bucket list in the upcoming years. This (and the episode before it) will be something to look back at in a few years and see what, if anything, got the toy treatment and satisfied the Rantcor Pit's ravenous appetite for collectbles.

The Rantcor Pit #67 - Hey Hasbro! (Part 1: Small Scale, Big Ideas)

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!

The saga of four decades of Star Wars continues!
Cole Houston and Eddie Medina launch headlong into the seemingly bleak decade when the potential for an "Episode I" was called heavily into question. Yet despite a lack of new films every three years (as promised back in the late 70s and early 80s), Star Wars remained an essential aspect of contemporary American and international life.
Join your hosts as they highlight those myriad little events that served to keep the Galaxy Far, Far Away close to the hearts of fans until LucasFilm again brought new Star Wars adventures to the big screen.
