When I came home today I went right to the office and opened my Smuggler’s Bounty: Rogue One box. This was one of my favorite boxes from Smuggler’s Bounty. Inside there were two Pop figures, a T-Shirt, a Pin, a Patch and a Mini Hikari statue. The shirt is awesome. It has the cast on it with the Death Star looming in the background. Darth Vader is also there. One of the Pops is an exclusive Jyn Erso one with goggles on top of her head. The other exclusive Pop is a Death Trooper holding a rifle. The box rounds out with a Darth Vader Mini Hikari figure which came in multiple colors. I got a black one. The patch was of Captain Cassian Andor and the pin was of K-2S0. You can see the whole unboxing in the video below.
A brand new featurettte has dropped for ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY. This behinds the scenes look at the upcoming movie is incredible. There are lots of scenes showing the physical vehicles and practical effects of the movie as it is being made. I hadn’t realized just how excited I was to see this movie. Take a look for yourself.
