On starwars.com, we get kiddie books, cheestastic t-shirts, backpacks and lunchboxes, and gaming stuff.
Meanwhile, TFN found some new Legos, high-res scan of the storybook cover, M&M collector packaging, a new toy and a cereal box
Collectors, I feel for your wallets
Merchandise reports are flooding in – not only has Star Wars Shop added a variety of new stuff, but the official site has also annouced Giant Pez and Attacktix, a action figure battle game.
Now I’ve seen everything
Star Wars pet and baby costumes. Because we’ve been dying to dress some poor dog up like Slave Leia.
Moving Product
TFN has a ton of ROTS merchandise pics. See what the shelves will look likle before the fanboys get there.
Warm up those wallets…
Have you been saving your Republic credits? Because Lucasfilms’ licensees have a lot in store for you, this year:
The Celebration 3 Exclusive Figure
The Official Pix license awarded to C2 Ventures
The new line of stickers from Mello Smello (alas, not scratch’n’sniff)
The Hallmark Ornaments for 2005
The ROTS Topps Cards (Spoilers abound!)
This just adds to the list that includes the previously announced books, action figures and the rather nifty, yet oh-so-pricey, window blinds.
Must start playing the lottery, again.
Merchandise from Left Field
Not as bizarre as the Star Wars window blinds, but Lightsaber Pendants? For $200 a pop? Really? Ladies, can you honestly see yourself wearing these? Because I honestly can’t see dropping almost enough money to score an iPod on something nonfunctional that screams “I’m a huge geek.” People are going to know that the minute I open my mouth.
Darth Tater!
Playskol strikes gold again with the introduction of Mr Potato Head Darth Vader!
Scroll down past the information on some new video game to see their latest masterpiece!
Thanks to Comingsoon for the head’s up on this!
“I’m Captain Jack Sparrow!”
Almost as pretty as the original and cheaper to keep in rum. Three cheers for vinyl men! And thanks to Denise for the head’s up.
“Welcome to the Caribbean, Luv.”
Sneak Peak Toys!
Starwars.com has a preview of the Sneak Preview action figures from Hasbro, which will be in stores this February. There are five in total, 4 characters and a starfighter.
Alas, slashing action does not appear to be an option.
May the Chocolate be with you!
Finally! Something that speaks to those of us who have undying devotion to both Star Wars and chocolate.
According to TFN, grocery stores have begun receiving promotional flyers indicating that M&Ms and Skittles will be getting in on the Star Wars fun with some promotional packaging and the character “Jedi Master M.”
Somebody loves us out there.
