New Force Awakens toys leaked by Walmart
New Force Awakens toys leaked by Walmart Fortune.com reports that Walmart accidentally leaked new Force Awakens toys and sold one of those toys that I had previously blogged about. According to the article: A Walmart in Council Bluffs, Iowa, put a figurine of the new female character Rey wearing her so-called “resistance outfit” on shelves recently with a price tag of about $7. But when Star Wars collector and host of the podcast Star Wars Action News, Justin Kozisek, purchased the product earlier this week and posted a picture to Facebook, he set off a firestorm. Facebook removed the photo, notifying Star Wars Action News that it violated the copyright of Disney , which owns Star Wars production company Lucasfilm. As the photo was shared across various social media outlets, Disney, Lucasfilm and another third-party company reportedly sent Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notices demanding that the images be removed, according to Ars Technica. Other Rey action figures, all made by Hasbro, have been available for sale since Sept. 4, such as the “snow mission” version of the heroine (pictured above), which is sold out on Walmart.com. But the one Kozisek bought has not been officially released, nor publicized by Hasbro in its product announcements: It features Rey wearing a tight-fitting version of her beige outfit with a sleeveless blazer—and holding a blue lightsaber, which some fan blogs declared a plot spoiler. Here is the photo of the new toy from my...

Star Wars The Force Awakens reveals New Emperor-like character? A new dark side character will be revealed in the movie—Commander Snoke.
