J.J. Abrams' "Force For Change" put up another video with teases of wonderful prizes like advance screenings of the movie, but let's face it - there's no reason to bury the lede. While filming in the UK, Mr. Abrams decided to give us all a sneak peak of a new vehicle which is probably the absolutely best way to get anyone to watch a video for a charity. Congratulations, UNICEF!
You want answers for your questions? You want questions for your answers? Q&A is back and Comic-Con is mere days away. What can we expect?

Well... that's tough to get at, but we can analyze some trends.

Comic-Con is just around the corner, so let's squeeze in more Q&A as that seems to be the driving force of this site lately. Let's talk packaging - is it time for the blue refresh of The Black Series? And Star Cases - will they see an update soon? Finally, the toy market in 2014 is different than it was in 1999, 1995, or 1983 because why not.

The H.P. Lovecraft-inspired Legends of Cthulhu Retro Action Figure Toy Line ends on Kickstarter in a few hours - and includes Mr. Lovecraft as a stretch goal. The 3 3/4-inch action figures from Warpo Toys are designed to look like a product of the late 1970s and early 1980s, down to the packaging painting. If you've been following ReAction, or Bif Bang Pow!'s Twilight Zone, or Zica's Six Million Dollar Man, they're like that. And if you don't know what any of this means, think Kenner 1978.
Hey kids, welcome to Q&A! What kind of things are still missing and might be at Comic-Con? Good question! What's going on with Star Wars on TV? Not too much, but some stuff is in the works. Or was, anyway. And what's up with the 2 1/2-inch Guardians of the Galaxy figures - could this be the ghost of Christmases yet to come?

The article: Prototype Boba Fett Black Series Figure – Exclusive Reveal!
Supposedly (depending on the reports) between August and some time this fall, we're going to have access to a $19.99 white "prototype" 6-inch Boba Fett. A mail-in version of this costume was made for the 3 3/4-inch scale a couple of years ago, so now we'll have access to a bigger version of this character. Somehow, pre-orders will start at Comic-Con in a few weeks.
