It goes without saying (but I will anyway), Gentle Giant just made us extremely happy as our friends at YodasNews have posted an exclusive reveal of the SDCC Exclusive Jumbo Kenner Yak Face figure. Head on over to check out their video review and their exclusive image gallery.
Funny thing is, is that I actually guessed this being the exclusive a couple weeks ago via Twitter.
Gentle Giant has updated today announcing another 2013 Convention Exclusive Mini Bust this time featuring C-3PO! It is available for pre-order now to PGM Members for $75.00 and is limited to 1008 pieces.

This weekend kicks off the Medicom/PARCO Show Exhibition and already the first Star Wars Kubrick item has been revealed via eBay – a carded version of R5-D4.
This is in essence a repack of the DX Series 3 figure. Hopefully we will get to see some actual new Kubricks over the next day or so… the drought has been long.
Thanks to our friends at JediDefender for the heads-up.
There’s been some amazing custom Sail Barges made over the years, and this auction listing is one of the best ones I’ve seen. Check it out and enjoy all the pics of this spectacular vehicle/playset from ROTJ that Hasbro will hopefully turn their attention to.
We posted a lengthy rant last month expressing our recent frustration with Hasbro, and it seems like the folks at Target may feel the same way given their latest round of Hasbro markdowns.
It isn’t just Star Wars product either… it’s GI JOE and Transformers product too… and the trend here is that all the items are ones aimed at kids, and really aren’t of high quality… they are often gimmicks or Hasbro scaling back on quality. So what does that mean with the upcoming Movie Heroes line? Will they pegwarm like these have been doing since the moment they were first stocked?
Hopefully Hasbro has a much better plan in store for next year… share your thoughts here or in our forums.
