Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Is your dad a Star Wars fan? Nothing says ‘Father’s Day’ like Star Wars! One question – is there a Leia version, with the torture droid? How about Luke and Palpatine, for grandpa? Obi-Wan and Anakin for brothers? The possibilities are endless!
ETA: On the TOS.
“The one and only Master Replicas Limited Edition lightsaber from the Expanded Universe.” Already sold out! It’s amazing what collectors are willing to drop $300+ dollars on…
Which means it’s time for our first(ish) look at this year’s Hallmark ornaments You can download the Dreambook 2007 in PDF form. No Star Wars mini ornaments this year, but bringing back them back was a common request the Hallmark booth heard at C4, say our sources. (Thanks to Rach and Diane.)
Thinkgeek does it again: Wee remote Artoos from the Japan, available for purchase in limited quantity.
Among the items Master Replicas will be producing before the end of the year (when their license expires) is a Mara Jade Lightsaber Limited Edition. (Scroll all the way down.) I’m guessing it’s the purple one, since the Anakin/Luke saber would be rather redundant.
Remember the adorable keychains from Japan? Well, our own Heather Lynn managed to nab a full set on the eBay, and she took pictures. The awesomeness is overwhelming!
Rebelscum has a scan from Lee’s Toy Review #175 featuring several figures based on comic books: Vader and Leia from Infinities: A New Hope, Dark Woman & A’sharad Hett from Republic and Mara and Luke from the Heir to the Empire comic adaption. No longer will Mara fans have to depend on eBay for a figure, though I’m actually kind of digging the Dark Woman…
These wee lightsaber/blaster keychain thingees are so freaking awesome I can’t stand it.
