This just in from Review Star Wars.com

” Marjorie & Arnie from Star Wars Action News hope you had a very merry Christmas, filled with friends, family, fire, feasts, festivities, and presents! Marjorie spoiled Arnie this year with some gifts, which Arnie reviews (the items themselves, not their value as good gifts) in this week’s Star Wars Action News.

Also, new stock is hitting shelves. Arnie and Marjorie got their hands on some Transformers. Previously they had spoken poorly of the Transformers, but what do they think now that they see them in person? Listen and find out.

After you listen to this week’s episode, head over to ReviewStarWars.Com and let us know what you thought of the show in our Forums! Talk about things you liked about our show, things you didn’t, and topics you would like us to cover in the future.

We’ll be back next week with a new episode, and until then everyone have a safe and happy New Year. “

Thanks to a tip from a fellow Minnesota collector “Darth Vlad” I was able to acquire a few of the first figures from the Battle of Carkoon wave from my local Toys R Us. THANKS!

Here are the TRU SKUs and the holos that were packed with each figure:

SKU #653569085874 – Han Solo w/Holo Queen Amidala
SKU #653569085881 – Bib Fortuna w/Holo Count Dooku
SKU #653569085904 – Barada w/Holo Count Dooku
SKU #653569085898 – Chewbacca w/Holo Jedi Luke

Each figure was $6.99 +tax so beware, each figure will lighten the wallet just a little more.

Pope Benedict XVI, George W. Bush and…Darth Vader?
December 18, 2005 | 3:48 PM EST | Scott

 

What do these three have in common? They’ve all been selected to be on Time Magazine’s list of ” People Who Mattered ” in 2005.

He has the distinction of being the only fictional character on Time’s list, and rightly so, since 2005 was clearly the year of Vader. With the final chapter of the Star Wars saga and his armored mug on everything from bedsheets to pinball games, you couldn’t swing a dead Wookiee without hitting something with his visage on it.

Click the pic above to check out the venerable Mr. Vader’s entry and see who else he shares the list with.

OT: Sideshow 1933 Kong Armature Replica
December 10, 2005 | 9:15 PM EST | Scott

 

OK, this is WAAAAAY off topic (I won’t do this often, I promise), but when I saw this, I had to share it with you guys.

Sideshow is producing this exact replica of the stop-motion armature used in the making of the original 1933 KING KONG. Prop collecting guru Bob Burns loaned Sideshow the actual armature so they could re-create it in every detail, and it’s fully poseable as well.

If you’re a die-hard movie geek like me, then this is definitely one drool-worthy piece. Click the pic above to see more pics and a 360-degree Quicktime movie of it.

As an interesting side note, Burns took the original armature to filmmaker Peter Jackson where his WETA Workshop team, animated it via stop-motion for the first time in 72 years. You can pretty much count on this footage ending up on the DVD for Jackson’s upcoming Kong remake, but if you haven’t caught it yet, check it out here. Too cool for words!

Upcoming Figures for ’06
December 1, 2005 | 12:53 PM EST | Jayson

4-inches.de. has quite an impressive list of possible/rumored basic, deluxe and store exclusive figures to be released throughout 2006. Quite a few of them have been on my personal waiting list for some time and others will be revisited sculpts from years past. Thanks to the folks at Jedidefender.com. for the heads up.
