Today we are launching a new Facebook promotion where fans can submit a photo* of their favorite Boba Fett collectible and after 2 weeks an image will be selected at random to win a Gentle Giant Jumbo Rocket-Firing Boba Fett courtesy of DorksideToys. Simply send in your image along with your name and address to news@yakface.com with “Favorite Fett Foto” in the subject line.
The promotion is open to collectors worldwide**
*Image must be a photo you have personally taken
**Collectors located outside of the continental US will be responsible for shipping and handling charges
UPDATE: We’ve had some great entries so far! Check them all out on our Facebook page.
The stores are full of the same ol’, same ol’, not because there are no new Star Wars action figures but because the stores are so full of 2012 figures that Hasbro is only shipping the new 2013 figures to other countries. If you want the 2013 Yoda carded Clone Wars and Movie Heroes figures American Star Wars collectors need to buy from Canada or Germany at considerable expense in shipping and surcharges. Is it worth it? Marjorie and Arnie have the final wave of Clone Wars figures in hand from a Canadian seller, and review each figure on this week’s Star Wars Action News! Listen to find out if these repacks, repaints, and retools are worth your bounty.
And speaking of bounty, on this week’s podcast is one bad bounty hunter — Bossk! Sideshow’s 12-inch Bossk figure is in stock and shipping now, and Star Wars Action News reviews the exclusive version on this week’s show. With interchangeable hands, feet, and head (with the exclusive version) listen to hear the hosts’ thoughts on this latest sixth-scale figure!
With a vintage filled report from the Toy Man Toy Show in St. Louis, a way to get an exclusive T-Shirt design this weekend at Wizard World St. Louis, and more, it’s all in this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast!

Just a friendly reminder that there are only a couple weeks left to submit an entry in the Episode VII Customizing Challenge we are hosting with our friends at Imperialshipyards!
This one is easy – all you need to do is create a custom figure of something you think we might see in the upcoming film, and post it in our forums! And if you post it in the forums at both sites, you have doubled your chances of winning a great prize (and these are by far the best prizes we’ve ever had for a customizing contest).

Here is a quick update about a bunch of cool new pre-orders and the latest arrivals from Big Bad Toy Store!
Sideshow now has the Premium Format Chewbacca available for pre-order.
For variant collectors out there, we thought we’d pass on news and visual confirmation of a rumored running change/variant to the 2012 Clone Wars Republic Commando Boss (CW11) figure. Initial versions of this figure included an all white backpack (as seen in our Toyguide), but orange accented backpack variant has shown up on pegs in the UK and Australia and on eBay. Click the image above for a closer look.
Thanks to McMetal over on the JediDefender forums for the alert.
Gentle Giant has updated today and is now taking pre-order for their Jumbo Kenner IG-88.
