What's Your Obsession

If you’ve been having a tough time finding the Sideshow Darth Talon, perhaps the Gentle Giant one is more up your alley! The pose isn’t my cup of tea but at least they released some more shots, take a look and decide for yourself :

Here’s another Kotobukiya statue today, the second of many as it turns out! Commander Cody from Star Wars Episode III. Coming with two unique display options, battle ready and the Order 66 pose, he’ll be out in August 2011. Apparently the Order 66 hologram lights up!

My coverage of Toy Fair won’t have many toys because let’s face it, I’m primarily a statue guy and I won’t have as much time there as I’d like. I’m sure some of guys want to hear the toy developments though so here’s a few handy links. Figures.com LEGO Star Wars coverage Marvel Universe toys, [...]

Here’s a little preview of Kotobukiya’s Toy Fair booth, one I’ll try to get photos of when I’m there! This is a one of a kind display they’ve got for their ArtFX statues, which is a shame, since it seems to make a great diorama.

Both of these are looking pretty great and that Emperor, while expensive, is less money than I was expecting. If you plan to buy either (or have friends that do), please come here first and click through my links to purchase! It’ll be quite appreciated. Emperor Premium Format statue Brock Samson statue

I wish I could just embed the link but Gizmodo apparently isn’t cool with that! Follow the link and enjoy the video. Looking at my SDCC plans I doubt I’ll have time to stop by this summer but hey, you never know. Here’s hoping, because it’s looking great!

Certainly didn’t expect to see this in my inbox! Planned for release in April, Gentle Giant is releasing a Darth Vader Ralph McQuarrie concept bust made of pure bronze. None of that faux-bronze business. It’s going to be a pricey $1500, limited to 100, coming in at 8 inches tall. It’s also going to weight [...]

I’ve got a feeling this is going to be one of the best statues they release this year. Don’t make a liar out of me, Sideshow!

A couple of these were briefly shown during the SDCC Sideshow Collectibles video, but now we’ve got some magazine pictures courtesy of SF member Averone! The Star Wars character profile line seems to be based around showing characters in a way they’ve never been shown before, basically interesting new concepts or takes on existing characters [...]

The first of a couple Sideshow Collectibles Star Wars articles I’ll be posting shortly, here’s a sneak image of their upcoming Star Wars 12″ Modal Nodes figures! It’s a shame that individual finger articulation won’t be in here (most likely, anyways) but I’ve got a feeling they’re gonna look fantastic regardless.
