Kessel Run Collecting: Recent Episodes
Jedi Raylen
Kessel Run Collecting is a Star Wars collecting podcast which focuses primarily on the 3 3/4" Hasbro action figure line, though we occasionally will discuss other action figure lines in that scale as well. We also do interviews with other collectors, customizers, diorama builders, and toy photographers not generally found elsewhere.
Eric and Matt talk about the Haslab Cantina and other pickups, yet another ridiculous price hike on figures, and the Mandalorian and Grogu teaser trailer. Plus, their picks for Last Figure Standing.
