The St. Louis ToyMan Show schedule has been released, with the first event coming this Sunday, January 8th.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today as we take a look at the Ralph McQuarrie Concept Artist Series Boba Fett Statue from Sideshow Collectibles.
PROS: An absolutely stunning rendition of Ralph McQuarrie’s concept for the super commando Boba Fett. The application of the paint to bring out the definition in the armor and flight suit is fantastic. The pose is dynamic and looks as if it’s ready to leap off of the Slave I inspired base. This version includes the exclusive, iconic T-visor helmet that can be switched out for the original design of the Boba Fett helmet, which I find preferable for display.
CONS: Price is the biggest obstacle that collectors will encounter with this piece.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery to judge for yourself whether this piece is worth adding to your collection.

Robot Kingdom has listed the next wave of 3.75″ Star Wars Universe figures featuring new figures from Rogue One. This wave consists of Fenn Rau (Star Wars Rebels), Imperial Death Trooper Specialist (Rogue One), Shoretrooper (Rogue One), Admiral Raddus (Rogue One), Galen Erso (Rogue One) and Lieutenant Sefla (Rogue One).
No word yet as to which outfit Galen Erso will be sculpted.
Sideshow Collectibles is sending out notifications to those that preordered the Hot Toys Luke Skywalker (The Force Awakens) Sixth Scale figure. Originally solicited with an estimated arrival period between January-March 2017, it has now been revised to July-August 2017.
Entertainment Earth now has wave 3 of the 3.75″ Star Wars Universe/Rogue One assortment of figures in stock and ready to ship. You can order by the case (2 of each figure) or as a set of six (1 of each figure).
Released in the UK a couple weeks ago, reports are coming in that the Elite Series Die Cast First Order TIE Fighter Pilot is now available in the US exclusively at Disney Stores. This figure is not available online as of this post but if you’re interested you may wish to brave the post-holiday mall traffic to try to secure one of them as the die cast Elite Series line is on sale for $14.99 each.
Thanks to Pete V. for the heads up.
We are sad to report that Carrie Fisher has passed away after suffering a massive heart attack over the weekend. She will forever be in our hearts as Princess Leia Organa. Rest in peace.
The clearances continue as Target has started to mark down the 6″ Black Series Rogue One 3pk that includes Jyn, Cassian and Death Trooper Specialist. YMMV (Your mileage may vary) but clearances have been found from $41.98 to $29.98 all over the US. You’ll find the biggest discounts in metro areas that have the largest inventories on hand. Good luck and may the force be with you.
