What's Your Obsession

Not that I’ve ever mentioned it before, but I’m a big fan of the gorgeous concept work that Ralph McQuarrie did for the Star Wars trilogy. I own the Kotobukiya concept Vader vs Luke statue and I’d love to get a few high quality prints to put up somewhere. Out of the SDCC exclusives that [...]

Looks like Attack of the Show had a Star Wars themed charity fundraiser for the Make A Wish Foundation recently, and I’m guessing they made an absolute mint on it. You’ll see what I mean when you check out the pictures. Digg Stumble Upon Del.icio.us Buzz

These are already up for preorder over at Gentle Giant. Considering their almost total lack of new announcements, it’s good to see they’re still working on product. Up for grabs is Kit Visto in the newer Clone Wars animated style, as well as a mini-bust of Darth Vader as seen in part of the Force [...]

Judging by the time from sneak peek to release of the Muppets line, we’re looking at a good 4-6 months before Disney shows off the full list and pricing. I’m sure this set is going to be a smash hit with vinyl designer toy fans. Digg Stumble Upon Del.icio.us Buzz

Posted by: Dr_Teng In: Statues

We need a 1/6 scale of Count Dooku – what are the chances of seeing him get made? Yes, we are currently developing Count Dooku in 1:6 scale. He’ll be revealed in the future, perhaps not the near future, but sooner than later. I am wondering if Sideshow will ever produce C-3PO, R-2D2, Yoda, and [...]

My complaints about Medicom’s toys being way too expensive for what you get are well known, and their newest Star Wars figures keep up the trend. While they look pretty decent, the prices are estimated at $216 US for C-3PO and $193 for R2-D2 (though he does have light-up features). I’d wait for Sideshow to [...]

Galactic Heroes line releasing ridiculously cute AT-AT

Posted by: Dr_Teng In: Toys

Never thought I’d see a cute AT-AT but damn, the Galactic Heros line just went and proved me wrong. I don’t like the figures in this line, but they seem to be doing a good job with the vehicles. I think this one would fit in surprisingly well with my Mighty Muggs. Info/image originally provided [...]

Looking pretty badass already and about damn time since he’s such a fan favourite. Easily one of Sideshow’s best lines. It’s supposed to go up for preorder on the 18th. Digg Stumble Upon Del.icio.us Buzz
