For our latest Customizer Spotlight, we welcome a new member to our forums – Clonetroopr! As you can see by the teaser image above, he’s not new to customizing, as he’s got some great talent and has created a ton of KOTOR custom figures.
Kick back and enjoy his efforts after the jump!
Sideshow has updated today and is now taking pre-order for their Infantry Battle Droids set, Battle Droid Commander with Count Dooku Hologram set, and Captain Rex – Phase II sixth scale figures.
Living in Minnesota, home to retailer Target, our stores are often used as a test market for product roll outs as well as pricing – meaning that a particular item at one store may cost higher or lower depending on the area of “the Metro” (Minneapolis/St. Paul and its suburbs). Our friend Jeff at JediDefender has posted an interesting observation in his area regarding “spring price exploring” for Saga Legends, Mission Series, The Black Series products.
Could this be just a regional experiment or can the rest of the country expect an average 10% bump in Star Wars action figure pricing as well? Like most things, only time will tell.
Following yesterday’s reveal of female Mandalorian Sabine, EW.com has posted the final intro for the major character line up for Star Wars Rebels. Check out Hera, the heart of the group and pilot of the Ghost.

Newsarama received confirmation today from Hasbro’s PR firm that the Hera and Sabine figures will indeed be making their action figure debut at SDCC this July. Many collectors and fans of the recently revealed female characters have been wondering why they absent from the rest of the figures (Kanan, Ezra, Zeb, Chopper, Stormtrooper, Inquisitor, Agent Kallus) and vehicles presented at Toy Fair.
Sideshow Collectibles has updated with details for their upcoming Infantry Battle Droids set (includes 2 uniquely painted battle droids) and the Geonosis Battle Droid Commander set that features a light-up communication podium and a Count Dooku hologram.

Marjorie and Arnie recap the Hasbro presentation kicking of New York’s Toy Fair International 2014!
Anyone who knows me at all in this hobby knows that I’ve been promoting for Hasbro to address what I feel is a major issue with their Phase 2 clone troopers… oversized buckets… including creating a tutorial for customizers, if they so choose to modify their figures.
After a few Q&A’s with Hasbro, with them indicating that they are unaware of aesthetic issues, our friend Paul at Jedi Temple Archives brought with him to Toy Fair a custom clone trooper I assembled, alongside one of Hasbro’s stock figures and showed Derryl DePriest the size discrepancy… and Derryl’s reaction is one that you should read… this could mean great things on the horizon if you’re unhappy with the clone helmets… so head on over to Jedi Temple Archives for the report!
