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.
On this episode, Eric and Matt discuss the latest uninspiring Hasbro Fanstream, the passing of Carl Weathers, and Eric talks about his most recent diorama work.
