Thursday, June 12, 2008
Another new San Diego Comic Con release from Sideshow Collectibles! This time it’s a 12 inch Aayla Secura figure from Star Wars. Apparently she’s a Jedi badass, a general, and duel lightsaber wielding maniac, but I only remember her as getting blasted in the back by a clone trooper at the end of [...]

Thursday, June 12, 2008
I just saw this rad video on Gearlog.com. To celebrate 30 years of Star Wars, Hasbro is getting in on the excitement with a brand new Millenium Falcon playset. Though Hasbro’s reasons for the update aren’t strictly for the fans. It seems that the original mold, which has made the last 30 years [...]

Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Japan, not content with just being one of my favorite places in the world, is gearing up to combine one of my other favorite things: Star Wars. July 19th begins the Star Wars convention at Makuhari-Messe Convention Center in Chiba. The whole shebang is sponsored by Toys R Us, and will feature [...]

Friday, June 6, 2008
In more SDCC exclusive news, Medicom is adding a new VCD (that’s Vinyl Collectible Dolls, to laymen) to their list of releases in July. This time it’s a cool Star Wars alternate called the Shadow Guard. This guy was originally featured in the game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Apparently they’re super [...]

Tuesday, June 3, 2008
When I was a kid and Return of the Jedi came out, my parents bought me a rad “lightsaber” that was just a black flashlight with a flimsy green plastic tube that came out the top. 25 years later, lightsabers have become as refined and mature as I am (yes, I understand that I’m [...]

Thursday, May 15, 2008
Showing the cooler side of Hasbro are the new series of Star Wars Mighty Muggs. This run is having a go at the Clone Wars Animated characters. The Count Dooku and Asajj Ventress figures look awesome and Dooku even comes with electric Sith doom hand powers. Awesome. Anakin looks pretty [...]

Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Medicom has come out with the ultimate in Star Wars geek merch. The Blue Stars trooper comes out this month as a Kubrick. If you responded with silent shock or tears of joy, then you already know what this means. To everyone else, the Blue Stars Trooper was an odd Turkish bootleg based [...]
Continue reading...Darth Maul Kubrick With Sith Speeder
Monday, May 12, 2008
It’s about damn time. When I found out about the Darth Maul with Sith speeder Kubrick about six months ago, I thought it would never come out, yet here it is! Although Phantom Menace was one of the worst/most disappointing movies ever, it did give way to one of the coolest (if not [...]
Continue reading...Alien Vinyl Collectible Dolls Coming Soon
Thursday, May 1, 2008
I know it seems that I’m just stroking off the guys over at Sideshow toys and Medicom, but they’re seriously coming out with some cool stuff lately. The latest addition from both is the hyper stylized Alien Vinyl Collectible Dolls. You may have seen the C-3PO from the Star Wars VCD line from [...]

Tuesday, April 22, 2008
If you eat, sleep, and dream Star Wars, you might as well drink it too. Action figure giant Kotobukiya showed off their entry into the collectible housewares market at NYCC (move over Wedgewood) with the Kiriko R2-D2, R4-P17 and C3PO drinking glasses. Kiriko, for those not well versed in glass wear decoration techniques, is [...]
Continue reading...Bounty Hunters Series: Boba Fett
Monday, April 21, 2008
Star Wars fans, get ready for the newest release by Dark Horse. I think most Star Wars fans can agree that Boba Fett is one of the coolest characters of all time. Even if you’re not a fan of the movie franchise, you have to appreciate how bad-ass he is. Kotobukiya will add six popular bounty [...]
