Hasbro sent us some of their Forces of Destiny Toys for free to play with and Review. Opinions are 100% our own. Affiliat eLinks are contained within this post.The Forces of Destiny line of toys is based on the web series on YouTube. These are a series of shorts about the women of the Star Wars Universe. The dolls are not only the women, however. There are droids and there is even a Kylo Ren doll and a Chewbacca one. But, for the most part these are female figures. Much of the voicework on the series is done by the people who play those characters in the movies and on the cartoons like Star Wars Rebels.

Clearance Finds at GameStop and Target

LEGO On Clearance
Photo-A-Day #4470

On the way in to work today I stopped over at GameStop and there I found that they had a few FUNKO Pop figures on Clearance. They were even doing specials where you buy one POP the other was 50% off. With prices down to $5 I made a careful look through the inventory and found two that I wanted. Marvel’s Captain Marvel and from Star Wars Rogue One there was Director Orson Krennic.

They also had some POP themed pens that had Marvel characters on them for $2. I got Iron Man, Captain America and The Hulk. They now sit in my coffee cup along with my Star Wars one with Chewbacca on it.

At target there was a some clearance LEGO NEXO knights which will work well with some stop motion videos I’d like to make. The thing is, though, that they do not have holes on their feet to secure them to the ground so I will have to get creative with adding some additional pieces to the feet to keep them from moving while I make any videos.
