To celebrate the return of 1999′s Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 3-D, Gentle Giant presents the special commemorative exclusive Yoda With 3-D glasses Mini Bust. This highly-detailed, film-accurate collectible puts the Jedi Master in the theater seat, with a box of “Obi-Wan Cinemas” popcorn and a removable pair of “3-D” styled glasses which sport real red and blue cellophane gel lenses. This hand-numbered limited edition is accompanied with a certificate of authenticity. Available at WonderCon 2012 in Anaheim, CA!
The crew at POTF2.com has posted, courtesy of VolkerC, a shot of the “missing” battle packs shown in the presentation at Toy Fair 2012. As you will see, the figures in the Bespin Battle set and Duel on Naboo set are all new sculpts, but there is a catch. They have limited articulation, harkening back to the 77-85/1995 POTF2 era. Head on over to POTF2.com for a closer look then voice your opinion on these in our forums.
