As Hasbro continues to add new standards of articulation and sculpting, they also seem to be making some figures smaller than in years past. This holds true with at least two figures from the first wave of 2008.<\/p>\n

Which figures have Hasbro reduced in size for the new ROTS wave? Can the Mustafar Panning Droid support an Anakin figure? Find out the answers to these questions and more after\u00a0THE JUMP!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\nOne of the great joys of collecting items like Hasbro and Gentle Giant and Sideshow is that it truly seems never-ending. No sooner do you think you finish with one line then another pops up. Such is certainly the case right now with Hasbro figures; as most people are starting to put their 2007 collections to bed, reports are coming in about the first wave of 2008 figures being spotted at Wal Marts, including by our own customizing expert Darth Kozy. Kozy sat down and tore open his Wave 8 finds and recorded his thoughts on these newest of figures.<\/p>\n

Of course sometimes you do hit a dry spell with no new action figures to buy, and when that happens…well, Jakob is here to tell us what he did in that situation.<\/p>\n

Vector, What’s That?<\/b><\/span>
\nJanuary 24, 2008 | 4:32 AM EST |\u00a0Holocron_Master_Nick<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

As some of you may know or may not know, that this year is the year of Vector. Its an on going storyline that starts with Knights of the Old Republic #25-28, then jumps to Dark Times #11-12, then on to Rebellion #15-16 and ends with Legacy #29-32 at the end of 2008. This cross-over spans forty centuries and will “involve, embroil, and ensnare major characters from one end of the Star Wars timeline to the other.”<\/p>\n

I’m not really sure how they’re going to pull it off, but it does sound intriguing enough to continue buying the comics. I’ll try to get out some reviews of them when they hit the shelves. Here’s the\u00a0link to Dark Horse comics.<\/a>\u00a0There’s a little bit of info, not much but they do show the cover of that issue. There’s a four page preview which is awesome to say the least, especially the last page. So set your time machine to January 30 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exclusive Boba Fett Tee<\/b><\/span>

\"\"<\/span><\/center>
\nStarWarsShop.com<\/a>\u00a0has added an exclusive Boba Fett t-shirt from the UK.<\/p>\n

UK Streetwear brand Addict has teamed up with Lucasfilm to produce exclusive boxed tees depicting three of the most iconic characters from the original Star Wars Trilogy!<\/p>\n

Called the Icons Series, it’s a one-off set of officially licensed tees illustrated by artist Mitch, known by many for his work in the music industry — Amp Fiddler, Bugz in the Attic, Incognito, The Bees, and Howie B are just a few of the musicians he’s worked with.<\/p>\n

As seen here, for the Star Wars Icons Series, the artist’s signature style accurately captures the essence of Boba Fett–not surprising, since the artist counts Star Wars concept artist Ralph McQuarrie among his earliest influences (see the artist profile below). And like fine art, the t-shirts come packaged in an illustrated custom box — no cheap metal hangers here.<\/p>\n

Retails for $52 and ships March 08.<\/span><\/p>\n

On May 22, Indiana Jones returns to theaters with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, with Harrison Ford again reprising the title role. Perhaps upstaging the actor: a toy. On May 1,\u00a0Mr. Potato Head: Taters of the Lost Ark<\/b>\u00a0hits stores, perhaps with a more versatile wardrobe. The toy spud comes with 12 mix-and-match parts inspired by the daredevil character, including a jacket, whip and fedora. Indiana Jones will probably arrive with a PG-13 rating, but Mr. Potato Head (about $15) has younger demos: ages 2 and up.\u00a0Check it out here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Although it appears as thought the highly anticipated Star Wars game,\u00a0The Force Unleashed<\/b>\u00a0has been delayed yet again, Yakface forum members continue to create customs based on their own ideas of characters that battled for or against the Empire in the years following the fall of the Jedi Order.<\/p>\n

Game delay or not, be sure to check out the great variety of customs alredy submitted this month by Yakface forum members, or try your hand at making a character of your own after\u00a0the jump!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\nThere’s been some buzzing around the ‘net about the blue skinned reptilian Jedi Master appearing in one of the “unconfirmed”, but highly photographed, Order 66 2 packs. Blue Harvest did a bit of research into where he came from, and appearances, or disappearances of other members of his species. Blue Harvest reported gathering the image of the above, and the following list from a number of posts on the site run by our friends over at\u00a0Rebelscum<\/a>. So where have we seen this species before??<\/p>\n

Head to the\u00a0forums<\/a>\u00a0for a closer look.<\/p>\n

*Anyone else think that the Sev head could be used for the other Jabba’s Palace Drummer Ak-Rev? ; )<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 125: I Didn’t Want A Wookiee For Christmas<\/b><\/span>

\nThere’s no feeling quite like driving home and seeing a box on your doorstep. Sometimes it’s apprehension (what will the wife think?), sometimes it’s confusion (oh boy, what shipped again?), and sometimes it’s unbridled excitement (IT’S HERE! IT’S HERE! IT’S HERE!). But imagine the crash from the “IT’S HERE!” high if you open a box expecting to finish off your 30th Anniversary Hasbro collection thanks to an order from HasbroToyShop.com and, instead, find a 3 year old Revenge of the Sith figure? Arnie vents about this very occurrance this week on Star Wars Action News.<\/p>\n

Also this week, we are always looking for listener feedback as to what you’d like more of on the show and what we’ve heard is “more vintage.” This show marks our first in a new monthly segment where our own podcast enhancer Kevin (DarthGawth on the forums) reviews vintage figures as he begins the daunting task of assembling a vintage carded collection.<\/p>\n

Finally this week, Lucasfilm issued a press release about what has happened to the Master Replicas license. Hasbro will be taking over the production of the Force F\/X lightsabers and the other props are falling to a newcomer to Star Wars–EFX. Marjorie and Arnie give their take on this turn of events.<\/p>\n

Thank you for listening.<\/p>\n

EFX OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED; Hasbro To Produce FX Sabers<\/b><\/span>
\nJanuary 10, 2008 | 8:40 PM EST |\u00a0Bill<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Star Wars fans and collectors will find new lines of collectibles from Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE:HAS) and newcomer eFX in 2008, it was announced today by Lucas Licensing, a division of Lucasfilm Ltd.<\/p>\n

Hasbro, Lucas Licensing\u2019s master Star Wars toy and game licensee, will assume the design and production of the high-end, collectible electronic lightsabers line, called \u201cForce FX\u201d Lightsabers, which was previously made by Master Replicas.<\/p>\n

Hasbro\u2019s Force FX lightsaber line will debut in the spring and continues the remarkable popularity of electronic replica lightsabers among Star Wars enthusiasts. The line will feature replicas of the iconic weapons used by Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul and Yoda.<\/p>\n

Newly formed eFX will develop, manufacture and distribute collectible, limited-edition replicas of both full-sized and scaled props; studio- and reduced-scale vehicles and ships; full-sized helmets; and high-end, die-cast vehicles and ships that encompass the entire Star Wars universe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with both Hasbro and eFX allows us to bring Star Wars fans some of the best collectibles we have ever offered,\u201d said Howard Roffman, President of Lucas Licensing. \u201cThese are incredibly creative, innovative companies with a real passion for Star Wars, and we think it\u2019s going to show in the products they offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hasbro expects the first Force FX lightsabers to be available in the spring, while eFX plans to unveil its first products at Comic Con International in San Diego in July.<\/p>\n

\nThe Toyguide updates continue with addition of the\u00a0Droideka (Destroyer Droid)<\/a>, #59 in the TAC line. Here is a version of the Droideka I\u2019ve personall wanted for a long time, but honestly it falls a bit short shearly because of the opaqueness of the deflector shield. Also, we are only give half of said shield thus necessitating the purchase of another Droideka. I sense a plot to part me with more of my money.<\/p>\n

\nThe Toyguide updates continue with addition of\u00a0Voolvif Monn (Jedi Master)<\/a>, #58 in the TAC line. Another welcome addition to the ranks of the Jedi order, Voolvif Monn was selected by fans as part of a poll to determine which Jedi character should be introduced to Cartoon Network’s Clone Wars Animated series. Voolvif is an all new figure with a lot of articulation featuring ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, ankle and swivel wrists, waist & neck. But it lacks a joint in the knee area and the lower part of the robe limits the positioning of the legs. He also features a new lightsaber mold which added a little variety to the weaponry of The Order.<\/p>\n

\nThe Toyguide updates press on with the addition of\u00a0Jango Fett (Bounty Hunter)<\/a>, #57 in the TAC line. This version of Jango is modeled after a cut scene from AOTC and is chock full of articulation and accessories. This figure has removable armor including helmet, shin guards, jetpack, chest\/shoulder armor, belt\/holster* and blasters. But unfortunately it doesn’t include the wrist gauntlets.<\/p>\n

*NOTE: the belt\/holster is removable but it has to be slipped down over the hips, legs and feet. The belt does NOT separate in the back as it appears.<\/p>\n

It has been a long time coming now we finally have the “Fireside Padme” figure from AOTC we’ve wanted. Other than it not being lifesize and breathing, there is not much to improve upon as it continues in the vein of other ornante costumed Padme figures, but also adds the benefits of swivel wrists, ball-jointed elbows and shoulders. Did I mention that you can remove part of her dress?<\/p>\n

\nThe Toyguide updates continue with the addition of the\u00a0Clone Trooper in Training Fatigues<\/a>, the 55th figure in the TAC line. Kamino, we have a problem. Either someone forgot to add an ingredient to the clone-growing slurry or he’s hasn’t gone through his final growth spurt yet, this dressed down clone is a tad shorter than his armored brethren. Maybe they wear lifts in their boots. All kidding aside, this is a fairly solid figure with all the articulation you’d need for such a figure, but where this offering lacks is the snap-on armor. The included armor doesn’t complete the costume and the areas that are left exposed I would consider\u00a0vital<\/i>. : P In lieu of the armor, I think a repainted\u00a0Clone Youth<\/a>\u00a0from the Saga era would have been much cooler.<\/p>\n

\nThe Toyguide updates today after a brief hiatus (mostly do to the glut of product that had to be tracked down over the holidays) with the addition of\u00a0R2-B1<\/a>, the 51st figure in the TAC line. Here we are treated to an update of a figure from the tail end of the Episode I days. Back then,\u00a0R2-B1<\/a>was rather elusive and for some missed altogether. This version is a actually a repaint of the superior\u00a0Sneak Preview R4-G9<\/a>\u00a0sculpt from the ROTS line. The deco differs slightly in some areas, but the main departure is this new version foregoes the chrome dome for a less flashy molded gray dome. But like the previous version, it includes the “power harness” as seen in the main hold of Queen Amidala’s Starship.<\/p>\n

Captain Rex…. Clone Wars?????<\/b><\/span>

As we reported earlier todat, our friends over at\u00a0Rebelscum.com<\/a>\u00a0have updated with images of wave 2 of Hasbro’s 2008 basic figure line, as well as some of the Saga Legends figures coming to a store near you soon.<\/p>\n

But, it gets interesting even more interesting as the blister of the upcoming Legends Pit Droids 2 pack has a sticker advertising a Clone Wars sneak previwe figure– presumably a mail-in– for CAPTAIN REX.<\/p>\n

The question becomes is the name alone an homage to Star Tours, or is Lucasfilm making our favorite droid who is eternally completing his “first flight” a part of Star Wars cannon in the Clone Wars?\u00a0Check out the image here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Wattographs Private Charity Autograph Signing:
\nJoel Edgerton<\/b><\/span>
\nJanuary 1, 2008 | 5:02 PM EST |\u00a0Brandon<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Wattographs is pleased to announce the first-ever private signing with Joel “Owen Lars” Edgerton, from Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Joel will sign officially-licensed photos and fans’ personal items in this rare autograph opportunity. Edgerton is quite famous in his native Australia, most notably for his character “Will” on the television show The Secret Life of Us. He has recently been noted for his role in the 2005 comedy Kinky Boots and is currently working on three films which are in post-production. Joel’s brother Nash was also the stunt double for Ewan McGregor in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.<\/p>\n

We’re also further pleased to announce that Joel is donating his entire signing fee to the\u00a0Sydney Children’s Hospital<\/a>. Wattographs salutes this gesture and will also donate an additional US$5.00 from every item sold to the Sydney Children’s Hospital, as well. We think this is an inspiring way for fans to get autographs of Joel and do some good for sick children as well.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to email us with any questions or comments. Signing ends January 31st at 11:59:59. Visit\u00a0www.Wattographs.com<\/a>\u00a0for more details.<\/span><\/p>\n
