DIY Yoda Garden Gnome Project

Jayson — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 13:45:42 +0000

Can’t afford the Lawrence Noble Bronze Yoda Statue? No problem, you can just make your own…

Start with the Yoda figure bank from Diamond Select Toys…

Pick up a few painting supplies from your local hardware store… Bronze paint/primer, flat black spray paint, mineral spirits and some lint-free towels/rags…

First, coat Yoda with the Metallic bronze paint. Let it dry over night so it is no longer sticky to the touch…

The cover the item with the flat black spray paint (light coat) and then grab a towel soaked with mineral spirits to wipe the black off, letting the bronze color show back through leaving the black in all the nooks and crannies. Don’t be concerned if you take some of the bronze paint off too. You can just give it another light coat as a touch up. (Don’t forget to do the cane too).

To give it some extra weight, you can fill the inside with sand or small stones to keep it from tipping over in a strong wind.

For an added effect, mix up some diluted white and green acrylic paint and brush it all over the piece then blot with a towel to achieve an oxidized look. After that, it is ready for its new home in your garden.

Jayson — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:34:43 +0000

Today, Diamond Select has announced an exclusive version of their Jawa bank – only available at C2E2 this weekend. Click on through to find out how and where to get yours if you are attending.

Think you’ve gotten all of the surprising Star Wars news you can handle this year? Well brace yourself for more! Diamond Select Toys will offer an exclusive variant of their vinyl Jawa bank at C2E2, the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo, this weekend! That’s right, only 250 have been made, and they’re all in Chicago right now!

The variants which costs $22, depicts the 1/4 scale Jawa holding an ion blaster, instead of the regular edition’s restraining bolt caller. As used by the Jawas in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the ionization blaster fires a bolt that disrupted electrical systems, temporarily shutting down droids which they would then claim under Tatooine salvage laws.

Only 250 of this vinyl bank were made, so get to C2E2 ASAP, or find someone who’s already there to pick one up for you!
