Equipment: Hasbro at Toy Fair 2017 Coverage Part 1…Star Wars Black Series and More

Hasbro has always been one of my more nostalgic DSCN5582stops at Toy Fair. I grew up with playing with G.I. Joes and Star Wars figures so seeing these toys brings back memories of a simpler time. Sure those days are gone but some things never change at least not for me.

Vids: Check Out the Prologue to ALIEN: COVENANT

Alien: Covenant is the latest installment of the alien-film-header-v6-front-main-stagevery popular Alien franchise. The premiere is still a couple of months away but we have a great first look to whet your appetite.  Though there hasn’t been much released on the film as of yet I think it is safe to assume that the crew of the spaceship Covenant encounter some xenomorphs.
