San Diego Comic Con Wrap Up

Of course I'll be reviewing Star Wars figures, and the new VC HasLab: the Republic Gunship!  Before I begin, none of the photos are mine. Photo credits come from the following sources: Hasbro, Mattel, Toyark, For Eternia, eternian royalty, Preternia, Playmates, In Pursuit of Toys, Classic Toys UK, Toy Wanderer, Nacelle Toys, Screen Rant and many others. So if someone sees this and I didn't give credit, please let me know and I'll give out credit. But I think I covered everyone.  TEENA...
