Kotobukiya Boba Fett ArtFX statue sneak peek

Posted by: Dr_Teng In: Statues

Looks like this is going to be Kotobukiya’s best Boba Fett to date. It’s going to feature switch-out arms, allowing a casual look and a more battle-ready look. Judging by that base, this might be part of a build-a-statue set like they’ve had previously, but I’m not sure.

The 501st, for those not aware, are a group of guys that do pretty awesome Star Wars costumes. They decided to do a huge charity auction of custom stormtrooper helmets at the Star Wars Celebration convention (which I unfortunately haven’t attended yet) and raised an absolute ton of money. Check out all the helmets here. [...]

Kotobukiya had this up for display in prototype form at Comic Con, it was impressive then, and impressive now. Darth Maul comes with a nice bonus feature, a light-up lightsaber. Coming in with an estimated MSRP of $120, I’m sure it’ll be a popular piece for Maul fans. Kinda wish they had showed an actual [...]

I normally don’t post when Sideshow Collectibles tosses up their preview galleries, although I’ll probably do it more often in the future, but I gotta say I was blown away at how gorgeous this Commander Cody 12″ figure is. Though it damn well better be, considering the price! This goes up for preorder for $125 [...]

Been a while since I did a video review, huh? It was tougher than I thought to knock them out while in the US, so I decided to put them on hold, but they’re back now! Coming at you this week is the Sideshow Collectibles Jedi Luke Skywalker Premium Format exclusive statue review. I won [...]

This week we’ll be checking out the Sideshow Collectibles Darth Talon Premium Format statue. When this went up for preorder, I immediately grabbed it. Then 5 minutes later I thought, why the hell am I ordering an expanded universe Star Wars character? I don’t care about that crap. THEN I looked at the higher-res pictures [...]

AT-AT Day Afternoon

I’m sure pretty much everyone on the internet has seen this already, but what good would a toy and statue site be without showing off this wonderful short film?

For those not familiar with the Ultimate LEGO sets, they include some absolutely incredible ones like the giant Millenium Falcon and Star Destroyer. They take ages to put together, they’re very expensive, but they are top notch collectibles and well worth it. LEGO is bringing a brand new one to the table, the Tydirium Shuttle [...]

With The Old Republic having a solid showing at E3 and building up a lot of hype, it makes sense for Gentle Giant to get a line of statues going for it. They’re starting off with Shae Vizla, who appears to be a bounty hunter. What’s puzzling is the small size, 7 inches for a [...]

Get in there you big furry oaf.
