What's Your Obsession

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.

Well this is an unexpected partnership. Enterbay and Medicom are teaming up to bring out a Luke Skywalker figure, and I’d assume starting a new Star Wars 12″ line. However, given Sideshow’s recent improvements in their line and the pace at which Enterbay and Medicom traditionally release figures, I’m not sure if this is a [...]

While this would almost certainly work better as a full size statue…since it’s a 3/4 bust at this point anyways, it’s looking quite good! Here’s the upcoming Gentle Giant Wicket mini-bust under the cut.

Kotobukiya is really keeping their Star Wars line active lately, here’s a look at the Darth Vader statue they’ll be releasing somewhat soon. You can hop on over to Rebelscum to see some more pictures.

One of the more interesting pieces I’ve taken a look at, Gentle Giant released this Count Dooku and Asajj Ventress statue in 2008 I believe. I’m not that familiar with Asajj Ventress, I know she’s a Star Wars expanded universe character and safe to say her and Dooku are pretty close. Still goes for a [...]

Gentle Giant released a jumbo vintage Kenner styled stormtrooper as a SDCC exclusive and it seems that was the beginning of an entire new line. Not my style of toy, but hey, I’m sure the fans of the style will love the upcoming selection. Check under the cut for a larger image of their Han [...]

Mixing it up between statues and action figures a little more, Kotobukiya gives us some more stormtrooper products. These come in at about 1/10th scale, will be just under $90, and you get 2 per kit. Since they come with 4 sets of arms and 2 sets of legs, you can make nearly 20 poses. [...]
