Disney Star Wars Collectibles

Fans looking forward to 2007's Star Wars Weekends at Disney-MGM Studios now have four more reasons to make the trip to Florida this summer -- Disney has devised four new limited edition maquettes which stunningly portray Disney's iconic characters in classic Star Wars garb. Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy have been transformed into X-Wing Fighter Pilot Mickey, Princess Minnie, Stormtrooper Donald, and Darth Goofy.

Fans who have actually seen the original Mickey Mouse Jedi figure are often first struck by its scale (it's BIG!) and then delighted by the clever merging of the two properties. The new series continues this tradition and will be offered in the same large scale, standing between 17" and 23" with the illuminated base. The full effect of the base lighting (and the tactical screen behind Princess Minnie) cannot be seen in the accompanying images, but really enhances the display when the room lights are turned down. The belt and chest panel on Darth Goofy are also illuminated.

These remind me of the Warner Bros. collectibles you can buy from their stores.... I've always wanted a huge Marvin the Martian....

Luke and Yoda PF

I'm the lucky owner of Sideshow's Luke and Yoda PF statue. And I can tell you it's pretty amazing. It perfectly captures a scene from my favourite of series "Empire Strikes Back". I swear it's just like a screengrab from the movie, it is really that life like... especially from normal viewing distance. I must say, it does need quite a bit of adjusting, especially Yoda, to get it looking right. If you don't bend Yoda's arms at the elbows, they look way too long and touch Luke's nipples... not that there's anything wrong with that. If you squish Yoda's head down slightly, not only does his eyes line up better with Luke, but he looks older, even has a slight hump in his back.

And because I got this one straight from Sideshow, I got the exclusive Luke in Vader mask thingy.... which is actually quite big and prolly has a better paint job than the statue - especially with the lip colour chosen.

R2D2 Projector

Nikko has announced an R2D2-shaped one-third-scale LCD projector that includes a DVD player, firmware that supports MP3s and JPEGs, USB input, an iPod dock, wireless FM audio, and a Millennium Falcon remote-control. The head spins around, too. They also have an R2D2 base-station for a light-saber-shaped Skype phone.

The site will be updated with more pics and info in the upcoming weeks. Link

Update: The price will prolly be around $2500... and here's a vid of the little droid in action

Air Force Hunks

So much for the "don't ask don't tell" policy....
