Sideshow’s Star War’s 12 inch line has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past couple of years. Their upcoming figures are looking good. I’m looking forward to the droids and Yoda. Though I’m not sure if I”ll get Yoda’s house. It does look very detailed.

More pics can be found here.

Woot! The AT-AT in it’s full toy glory has been announced. Since I got the Millennium Falcon, I have been waiting to see what was next from Hasbro. And they didn’t dissappoint. The new figure looks huge ass and packed with accessories too!

Hasbro announced their plans for the year and there are quite a few things to look forward to, like their vintage line. I also did like the Birth of Darth Vader battlepack. oooo yaaa! More pics here, here and here.

There have been many beautiful pics taken of Star Wars characters through the years. This collection of photos depicting the planet Hoth is pretty awesome. Even better when you find out how the photographer did it.

Every once in awhile a new figure/vehicle is a released that captures the imagination of fans and collectors alike. There have been a few figures that have captured my imagination, figures like Fortress Maximus, the Transformers Masterpiece series and the upcoming 1/2000 Macross SDF-1.

The Millennium Falcon was one such figure that enticed me after reading initial reviews and see the pics, though by the time I had an interest in getting one, it was either sold out at the stores or was selling for a ridiculous price.

Good things come to those who wait, and boy was it worth the wait. Shaun had a feeling that the Falcon would be on sale at Falcon Hanger’s annual sale. So after initially refusing to get tempted and go down to check it out, I went down. Heh and so the story goes. I also managed to get the Falcon Battlepack and Princess Leia a few days later at the China Sq Flea Markets.

My first thought when I opened the box was, ‘WoW it’s really huge!’ It looks so much bigger when it’s out of box and fully set up. I realised mine is the Japanese version.

The Falcon is awesomely detailed. I know there are fan boys who want a more perfect Falcon, but this is pretty damm good. The size is perfect to fit the figures, and best yet, the Falcon comes with lights and audio clips from the movies! Sweet!

Chewie and Han who come together with the Falcon are well sculpted and fit nicely in the cockpit. The lights in the cockpit are also nice touches.

A nice sickbay for Luke to lie on while Leia takes care of him.

Obi-Wan checking out his Saber skills.

R2-D2 and C3PO having a game while Luke tries to feel the force.

The Falcon is damm impressive, and I’m still having dreams about it. I don’t have space for it on my display shelf, but it’ll sit nicely on my movable table for the moment. Will have to ensure a great display area for it once I renovate my room next year.

I’ll end of with some pictures of the lights the Falcon comes with. With the lights off at night, it just rocks my socks off!

There’s nothing better than opening the boxes and taking out your brand new figures for display. The 12 inch Sideshow Star Wars figures I just picked up rock. The finishing and paint jobs are excellent. The bodies are also much better and can actually pose properly.

The EZ Devastator is another figure that impressed me. It’s made up of 7 separate ‘legends’ size figures that can actually transform to robot and vehicle mode. And when combined, looks pretty much like the badass Devastator from the movie. Sweet! Articulation is pretty good too. The legs and hands can bend and pose, though slightly limited, but great for such a figure.

I haven’t taken pics of my Hot-Toys T600 – Rubber Skin version or John Connor as yet. The detail of the endoskeleton is amazing! Here are the pics.

I also got myself some DiD 12 inch cases and displayed Iron Man Mark I & III in them. very nice. Just need to find space to display Mark II.

And guess what I scored at the sale? Woot! Been eyeing the Millennium Falcon sitting at the Hanger for awhile. The sale was the best time to get it. Though the Falcon without the full crew does seem empty, so that meant heading down to China Square on Sunday to see if I could find the rest of the crew at the flea markets. It was also Jacinta’s first time, and she had fun. It’s great when your other half appreciates your loves.

At the flea markets I found myself the perfect battlepack for the Falcon, as well as a Princess Leia. The collection was complete!

Then came Monday, Shaun had to check out some locations around the area. Ended up trekkin from the Hanger to Bugis, to Simply Toys at Suntec. But it was all worth it as I collected more goodies.

A great weekend of toy collecting and checking out the fave haunts. Time to lock up the wallet and keep way for awhile.

Stormtroopers are only human (or clones), and when they’re not kicking rebel scum of getting sliced and diced by Jedi, they need to rest too!

More of these great pics here!

Sideshow displayed something different at SDCC’09 this year. Customised Stormtroopers! There’s Hello Kitty, Robocop, Transformers and more!

Check out the rest of the pics here.

What better way to start the morning than some display pics of Grand Admiral Thrawn and other Star Wars figures at SDCC’09. Gonna be adding Thrawn to my pre-order list for sure! Not sure about Lando or Anakin though. More pics here. And if you’re a GI Joe fan, Sideshow’s offerings are here.

Latest news from the San Diego Comic Con 2009, Sideshow’s Grand Admiral Thrawn 12′ inch figure has been announced! Woot!

This has been one of my favourite characters from the expanded universe. Fans will remember him from the Timothy Zhan trilogy of Star Wars novels. Often considered as the true sequels to the movies. If you haven’t read them yet, go get the novels or buy the comics! Wonder if this mean we will see a 12′ inch Mara Jade Skywalker next? oooooooooo
