Star Wars and Hero Mashers
Hasbro has announced that their Hero Mashers line (Amazon.com search*) is getting the Star Wars treatment . . . and I am 100% okay with this idea! That Stormtrooper will be mine, and from what I can tell by the press pics I’ll grab a few other figures in the series once they reach shelves.

I hope Hasbro has improved the overall quality of this type of figure. The Marvel one I have from the first release look neat, but their limbs have some flop to them, and they all stand with their legs spread wide. The joint plugs feel brittle like if you did swap them around a lot, they’d snap off.
I gave up on these guys after they nixed the ankle articulation.
