As of yesterday, it's been one year since Force Friday 2015 and the launch of the very first figures from The Force Awakens. Wow, time flies! It was a great day, going into the stores and seeing oodles of new Star Wars toys of never before made characters from the first part of the new trilogy. I'm glad I had some money saved up and was able to get many of the new 5POA figures on the first day they were available. In the past year, we have seen around 56 5POA figures from The Force Awakens, as well as some from Rebels and some pretty nice vehicles as well. Thats a lot of stuff! But when you watch the movie again, you can see that there are so many great characters yet to be made, including Leia and Luke.
Now another Force Friday is upon us. September 30 will be the first day we can buy figures from Rogue One, and another great year of collecting. Over the next 12 months, most figures will likely be from Rogue One, and that's as it should be. After all, Rogue One will never see another year as big as this, just like The Force Awakens will never see another year as big as last year. But if I could have one wish, it would be that we could still get at least a few new figures from Episodes I to VI along the way!
