It’s Force Friday! At midnight tonight, stores have the green light to finally put Star Wars products out on the shelf. There’s a ton of it, and Hasbro has shared the official pics and descriptions. We’re going to focus it on the Star Wars Black Series 6-inch offerings.

May the Force be with you!

In addition, Hasbro revealed an exclusive Thor 2-pack destined for Target shelves.
