Sideshow Teases Desert Nomad Ben Kenobi Maquette
Sideshow Collectibles has just revealed through their 12 Days of Sideshow feature a production peek showing the “Desert Nomad” Ben Kenobi maquette.

Episode 325: 2011 Year In Review Part 2
In addition to Hasbro Star Wars items, which we covered in Part 1 of our Year In Review Series, 2011 saw many other new additions to Star Wars collecting from the four-figure priced Sideshow Legendary Scale figures to the Star Wars magnetic mini licence plates from Topps, and so much in between. On this week’s second part of our Year in Review series, Arnie, Marjorie, Jerry, Berent, Jay, and Steve look at all the other Star Wars collectibles this year.
And also this week we look at perhaps the single most popular Star Wars product of 2011–the Blu Ray release! Tweaked versions of all six films in the saga, available in high definition with newly remastered sound, these have been top sellers on Amazon for much of the holiday season!
From Hot Toys’ Bespin Luke to Vinylmation’s Disney Theme Park exclusives, Gentle Giant, Kotobukiya, LEGO, and much more. It’s all in this week’s episode of Star Wars Action News!

Toyguide Update: Sideshow 12″ Figrin D’an
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the 1:6 Scale Figrin D’an from Sideshow Collectibles.
PROS: Excellent sculpt and paint treatment for the portrait and hands. Instruments are well done. Tailoring of the fabric is on par with most Sideshow releases.
CONS: Although well sculpted where applicable, the $100 price tag seems a bit excessive considering what you get for $20 more in Sideshow’s clone trooper offerings. That being said, I think it will be tough to justify “getting the band back together” if you catch my meaning.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
