LONDON, ENGLAND. WEDNESDAY 10TH JULY 2013, 11.38PM. JediNews.co.uk and Star Wars Celebration Europe are delighted to announce Caravan of the Force in association with Toys ‘R’ Us. Caravan of the Force is a two vehicle convoy with six people on-board, all with the common goal of raising money for Make-A-Wish Foundation®. The Caravan will be travelling from the UK to France, Belgium, Holland and Germany arriving in time for Star Wars Celebration Europe that takes place 26-28th July in Messe Essen, and then all the way back to London again! As we reach each country we’ll be welcomed by the local 501stGarrison in order to raise awareness of our trip and raise funds for Make-A-Wish.
This week we are featuring new pre-orders like the Astonishing Wolverine Statue, Batgirl Bombshells statue and Thor Hammer bookend, plus Star Wars Plush items and more.
We recently posted a wishlist for SDCC reveals in our forums, and now forum member localgotal has added some outstanding mock-ups for some Cinema Scenes that would sell like hotcakes if Hasbro would just make them like the pics he has shown. Check them out after the jump (but remember, none of this has actually been announced by Hasbro – but it should be!).
Inspired by the Adam Hughes “Snowbunny Padme” artwork (which, in turn, was inspired by Gennedy Tartakovsky’s Star Wars: Clone Wars Animated Series), Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to present a new Padme Amidala statue! This fresh interpretation of the character, a realistic style inspired by animation, is sleek, sexy and unique. Boasting incredibly fine detail that no other incarnation of the character can compete with, this statue is a must-have for all true Star Wars collectors.
Our friends at JediDefender have posted some exclusive images of the upcoming scanner box accessory coming to the Imperial Scanning Crew 2-pack later this year. Check it out after the jump.
A Kotobukiya Japanese import! Star Wars ARTFX+ Statues bring you all of the quality and detailing that you expect from an ARTFX release in a great smaller scale perfect for collecting! One of the highlights of the line is the inclusion great army builders (in addition to famous heroes and villains) like the previously released Stormtroopers. Up next is the character chosen as part of a fan poll at Star Wars Celebration VI in a double dose of the specialized Imperial trooper designed for maneuvers in desert conditions, the Sandtrooper Squad Leader Two Pack!
