Hopefully by now you’ve read and loved ToyFare #146 and you’re asking yourself, “Hey, where can I vote on all those Star Wars fan polls I read about?” Well, here’s the link!
For those of you who haven’t read the issue (for shame), we contacted Hasbro, Diamond Select Toys, FunKo, Kotobukiya and Gentle Giant about letting you, the fans, decide which characters they should pick for their next products. So let your voice be heard!
