The inimitable Fly Guy has uploaded some high resolution images of the recently revealed 6” Yoda and Jabba the Hutt. This Yoda keeps getting better and better (sorry Mire).

The pics are also uploaded by Jedi Temple Archives to their Facebook page.  Apparently Hunter PR has made the pics available, but our Communications Officer (Mr. Nomadscout) is very busy.

To celebrate Revenge of the Fifth, the official Star Wars Instagram page has revealed that a 6” Black Series Yoda is coming via a short video.  It looks pretty sweet.

To celebrate Star Wars Day, Sideshow Collectibles has made the highly anticipated R2-D2 1:6 scale figure which was recently previewed.  It comes in a price of $150 which is lower than was anticipated.  Given the premium the exclusive version of the premium format R2 fetches on the secondary market, don’t snooze on this 1:6 offering.  Click here to pre-order.

The Premium Format Episode VI Boba Fett and Episode V/VI Darth Vader are also previewed as part of the celebration.

I got a kick out of this, but I will Force punch the first person that requests a Ben Folds in Stormtrooper disguise figure.  Also Mark McGrath is still alive.  Good for him.

I wasn’t aware even aware that a Yoda was planned in the life-sized assortment.  This impressive figure is based on an Episode V likeness and due to the diminutive size, it’s the most affordable offering in the life-size platform. Click here to pre-order.

Hasbro’s worst kept secret has been revealed.  First official pics of the upcoming SDCC 2014 6-inch scale Black Series Jabba the Hutt are revealed on EW.com.  It’s an impressive piece, as is the packaging.

If you need a 21st century smoke break (read:  internet break) while at work today, I highly suggest taking a gander at this well written and informative article from Film School Rejects.  It’s part Hollywood history lesson and part Star Wars history lesson that really sheds light on the business of movie making today and the near 360 degree promotion of tent pole movies. Some of the links they provide are worth checking out too.

Sideshow has started their May the 4th celebration countdown by revealing the amazing life-sized Boba Fett figure.  It even sports some articulation at the head and the range finder is movable.  Click here to pre-order.
