Over on the Hot Toys Community Facebook page, they have revealed some new 1:6 scale figures are in the pipeline for the Star Wars line. Next up on their schedule is Anakin Skywalker, Han Solo followed by a character from Episode II. Hopefully we will be seeing images of these characters soon.
If you can afford to drop over a hundred bucks for five new figures and a lot of completely pointless carry forwards that are warming pegs at retail across planet Earth, TVC Wave 3 is up for pre-order at Hasbrotoyshop.com

Sideshow Collectibles has updated their “Sideshow Experience” section with a preview of the upcoming Ben Kenobi “Desert Nomad” Mythos statue. As you’ll see the details are beyond amazing and the likenesses are uncanny. Although this is a prototype, hopefully they will address the fact that they have the wrong lightsaber (Episode II design) for Anakin Skywalker attached to his pack.

Sideshow Collectibles has posted an announcement for a new line of Star Wars statues called “Star Wars Mythos“.
This new line of collectibles will be populated by characters from new and existing story lines. We will bring history, unique details and personal choices to each in order to elaborate on who they are. Through the design and sculpt process our goal was to delve deeper into these established characters and offer our own interpretations of what they were doing outside of the Star Wars canon.
