Collectors of the Mythos line, specifically the Ben Kenobi: Desert Nomad, take note. There has been a production change with this piece and it is NO LONGER including his signature lightsaber hilt that is attached to his belt as shown in Sideshow’s solicitation imagery. This has been confirmed via a discussion with SSC’s Customer Service Dept.
Also, there appears to be a discrepancy in the edition size as the base (currently) lists a 1200 production run while Sideshow’s site still lists it as 2000. No word if the edition size was revised down or if this is a production error on the base itself.
Sideshow Collectibles has updated today with new images and pre-order details for their upcoming Chewbacca Premium Format Figure. Head on over to check out the photos and be sure to watch for the pre-order this Thursday!
For all you customizers, don’t forget about the Episode VII Customizing Challenge we are hosting with our friends at Imperialshipyards!
This one is easy – all you need to do is create a custom figure of something you think we might see in the upcoming film, and post it in our forums! And if you post it in the forums at both sites, you have doubled your chances of winning a great prize!
Thanks to our friends at Imperialshipyards, we’ve been able to add another amazing prize to the Episode VII Customizing Challenge – a Sideshow Boba Fett!
This customizing event runs through the end of March, and all you have to do is create a figure of something you think we might see in Star Wars: Episode VII, and post it in the forums. Then you are eligible for a prize. How simple is that?
For those who ordered the Snowtrooper Sixth Scale figure from Sideshow, be on the lookout as they are arriving on doorsteps this week. Until then, you can check out our exclusive photo gallery of this awesome figure on Facebook along with the must-have E-Web Cannon.
PROS: Continuing in their tradition of releasing superior product and supplemental accessories, Sideshow outfits their soon-to-be-released Snowtrooper with this signature piece of artillery. The E-Web Heavy Repeating Blaster features a pivoting/rotating cannon, articulated tripod legs, flexible power cord and generator. The entire piece has a weathered gunmetal wash and looks absolutely fantastic in this scale.
CONS: None other than not having the 1:6 scale Snowtrooper in-hand at the time of the E-Web’s release.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this piece is worth adding to your collection.

It has been a long time since we’ve done a full blown review of a collectible here on the site so with the release of the Darth Maul – Dark Disciple Mythos Statue from Sideshow Collectibles, we felt this would be the perfect opportunity to do so. With Hasbro collectibles being few and far between for the first part of 2013, click on through to see if this subset of high-end collectibles is something you’d like to pursue.
