Nerf Blasters - Captain Phasma.

Radio Controlled R2-D2. The original one was very simple with a metal antenna. They have come along way with BB-8 and Prog.

Black Series. Started 5yrs ago and has grown exponentially.

Black Series is a fan focused line which is how they ended up doing 6" vehocles and beasts. Luke's Landspeeder was an iconic vehicle they had to do. Rey's as well.

The Centerpiece line also came to life due to input from the fans.

Poe Dameron gets a role-play Black Series helmet. It's a different design of the ep VII one.

Talking about the 3.75" Vintage Collection Rogue One Tank vehicle that was announced at SDCC. They use a new technique called co-molding so things like the Kyver(sp) Crystals will be multi colored coming out of the mold.

They molded a coffee cup somewhere on the interior of the tank for fun.

3.75" Force Link. Rey Island Journey figure, Luke in Jedi Exile outfit and General Leia. They based the headsculpt for Leia on a headscan they were able to get. DJ is also getting a figure.
