Forum member sambuca reports a variant to the just released Clone Wars Ahsoka Tano figure. As you can see from the pic, official Hasbro photography shows Ashoka sans eyelashes, but he scored this pic of a version with eyelashes. He further reports that this is the only one he knows of, as all other versions he has seen have NO eyelashes. Click the pic for a better view. And keep an “eye out” if your interested in a particular style!
Banthaskull forum member, and amazing customizer, BLASTERMAN has graced us with our very own 365th Clonetrooper figure. See more of this incredible figure in this thread in our forums!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with his work, he is truly at the top of the list of customizers. Not only does he do amazing paintjobs, he also has superarticulated his figures to the point of having working fingers! He may not put sand on his dioramas as much as some guys, but there is no denying his talent! Please check out his other work!
Also, if you have ideas of your own for a custom 365th Clonetrooper (any version, helmet style, etc), please visit the custom 365th figure thread and submit your pictures!
Coming out this week is Star Wars Legacy #28, Vector part 9. The Muur Talisman has taken hold of former Jedi Knight Celeste for almost 4,000 years. The time is almost upon her to destroy it. Can Cade Skywalker help her in this quest, or will he be taken over by it’s power as well?

Well, better late than never, I guess. Received this email from Hasbro’s PR team today:
Hi All -
We have gotten word from LucasArts regarding the much-anticipated The Force Unleashed Stormtrooper Commander 3-3/4” figure — and we wanted to make sure you were equally informed to share the info with your readers!
In the U.S., it will be available at GameStop at midnight on Sept 15th (the first day of sale will be Sept. 16th everywhere). It will be available while supplies last, with a priority for those who pre-order the game.
In Canada, the figure will be available at EB Games for their pre-orders.
In the U.K., it will be available at HMV for their pre-orders.
We hope that helps fans find it!
Not much we don’t already know, but at least it’s an official announcement.
Our weekly feature Strikes Back welcomes new contributor Chris, not to be confused with our other contributor, Chris. He’s got a beef with Hasbro over the Marvel Colors. Continuing the gripe is Banthaskull member and guest contributor T. Vader. Check it out and see if you agree!
None other than the ill-fated Captain Antilles! Keeping with their ANH fix, this figure will be a perfect compliment to everyone that ordered the Rebel Fleet Trooper. Keep your eyes peeled to our 1/6 Forum for further details!
