Fresh out of the theater, I posted a review of Terminator Salvation.  Add a review yourself, and feel free to review any other movie you want in our new Movie Review section.

In the most recent newsletter, eFX revealed what I would consider two bombshells. First, the next FX studio model will be a TIE Interceptor (sweet), but don’t panic, you’ll have plenty of time to save up for this future masterpiece. Second, we are all saddened to see Amy leaving the company, but still wish her nothing but success in her new business venture. Amy has been a major part of making eFX Collectibles in my opinion the best collectibles company in business today. I and the rest of Banthaskull thank her for venturing into our little corner of the interwebs.

Continuing the reflection line by artist Christian Waggoner, Acme Archives presents the incredible new Stormtrooper print! Available in 3 different sizes, be sure to grab one of these limited editions and tell us all about it in our forum!

So, how many of you got the Game Stop exclusive Stormtrooper Commander when it was first offered?  Anyone?  Really?  Well then, you’ll be able to snag him again, minus the stand, at this years SDCC.  I’m sure he’ll only be a measly $14.99 which is a steal when you can easily get TRIPLE that on a secondary market, if you’re that kind of scumb…er…person.

Stop in to our forums and join the discussion on this soon again hard to get figure.

I never thought I’d see it but jediinsider has revealed the Gelagrub and Felucia Clone Battlepack form Revenge of the Sith! Let’s face it, this is stupid and makes no sense for an army but I’ve wanted it since the day I saw it on screen. Very cool indeed! Feel free to talk about it in our forums. And remember, here at BanthaSkull you can SWEAR!

The word on some forums is that the ESB wave has been found at retail in CA of course! I have seen the receipt myself. Good hunting!

Oh yeah, I forgot…this wave contains the bearded Hoth trooper sans skirt.

We’re usually pretty fun loving and free around here, but every now and then, something comes up that makes us go, ‘whoa.’

Forum member Apailana has brought a serious disease to the attention of everyone on the Bantha Skull boards.  See, Apailana suffers from the very unknown disease called Lupus.  There are many forms of the disease, but all are a chronic auto-immune disease that attack all parts of the body.  Apailana has linked to a site that you can make a donation to in order to show your support of this disease that is practically unknown.  Head on in to the boards to check out her thread on what it’s all about.

Do we have a new obscure imperial character ready for action figure form? Yes we do! Let’s give him the IMG treatment!
Do we have the first picture of a new figure to show? - f’n yes we do!

BanthaSkull’s questions for Hasbro are due this Friday 4/10 so feel free to post them in the QUESTION SUBMISSIONS THREAD.

Also, we recently tried something a little different here at BanthaSkull because after all we are a very “different” group (some even say special). So for anyone curious about the questions aready submitted that will be answered by Hasbro this Friday, you can check out THIS THREAD and speculate, complain, or whatever.

Forum member CaptainAlex stumbled across this nifty little gem on eBay and was able to win the auction.  He has post a review of the press kit that was sent out to media outlets for the release of The Clone Wars animated show on The Cartoon Network.

Check out his review here.

Now might be the time to head to TRU! March 22nd - 28th vehicles and battlepacks are $14.99 each. Of course check your local ad before taking a trip. For those ambitious folks, try bringing the ad to Wal-Mart for price matching. At $25.00 a vehicle, this is a great price!

Thanks to longtime forum member Julian57 who found some great Hi-Res pics of figures from Clone Wars Waves 3,4, and 5 on a Mexican collecting website called The Plastic League .  Check out the goodness by clicking the thumbnail, then head on over to our forums to discuss your thoughts!
