Created especially for event sales, this Keepsake Ornament captures Luke Skywalker’s struggle with the savage creature dwelling below Jabba the Hutt’s palace as seen in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™.
This event-exclusive Star Wars™ ornament will be available at Comic-Con International in San Diego (SDCC) and at New York Comic Con (NYCC).
San Diego Comic Con is just around the corner, and just for fun, I put together a mockup of what I’d like to see Hasbro announce for The Black Series (in addition to the cool rumors we’ve been hearing regarding figures like Darth Plageuis, etc.).
Head on over to the forums and check it out, and while you’re at it, share your own wishlist too!
Reminder – this is just a fan-fiction mockup!
Gentle Giant is now taking pre-orders from PGM members for the recently announced SDCC Exclusive Jumbo Kenner Yak Face figure.
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.
Sideshow Collectibles has officially announced via Twitter that in lieu of offering exclusives at SDCC this year, they will be offering additional exclusive (Sideshow and Hot Toys) products throughout the summer. Welcome news for those that can’t attend the SDCC and reassurance that they will continue to have great new collectibles available for 2013.
Not attending SDCC? Fear not, PGM Members can pre-order the Deluxe Boba Fett mini bust now on Gentle Giant’s website. One per customer – orders will ship after SDCC.
The 3.75-inch Black Series is looming and new packaged shots are being released of the first wave of figures with Padme, Biggs, Luke, Vader, and more. But despite the eagerness of Star Wars collectors for new figures, fans are having a mixed reaction to the new packaging for these figures. On this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast hosts Marjorie and Arnie are joined by their Marvelicious Toys co-host Justin, a graphic designer and packaging expert, to examine Hasbro’s latest Star Wars designs.
Also on this week’s show, Johnathan updates us what’s in stores and online, Steve the Gingerprince reports from Collectormania, and Arnie and Marjorie celebrate a new Ewok LEGO set. All that and more on this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast!
