Time for a round of speculation!

OK, I was reading the latest Hyperspace article on the Official Site.  It's an article about Darren Phillipson, Director of Global Product Development at Lucas Licensing.

Anyway, he's got a bookshelf, and on the book shelf is a TON of toys... wanna guess what's on the top of the bookshelf?  400% Kubricks!

There are Stormie Luke and Stormie Han and Fett and what looks like MORE?

Here are the photos:

I've included the crops of the pics below!

Just look and you'll see what I think are (from L to R)
the vinyl fett, vinyl Stormtrooper, 400% Kubrick?, 400% Stormie Twins

Then, on the far end (from R to L):
400% Fett and 400% Stormtrooper?!?

Is it just me or do you guys see more 400% Kubricks in that photo too!  I suppose it could be from a different line, but I don't know...  :-\

Hard to tell from that photo. Does look like a stomie down near Fett, but
could be a Han or Luke with Helmet on.
Not sure what 400% that is before the Han & Luke. It sure looks like a
400% kub though. Maybe Bespin Luke or something  ;)

It's probably a bloody Ewok, which is a good thing, because I won't be wasting my money on that.

I would HOPE they wouldn`t do an Ewok, but I guess they could just us parts
from Bearbricks and make one. I`d take a big `ol pass on that too!

Good that means that if everyone passes on this one, I might actually get to own one at a decent price, even if it is a freakin ewok!!!!!!

Interesting picture, I enlarged it a tad to get a better looky.



The Kuby next to Boba looks like a Stormtrooper to me, I'm gong by the black marks on the mouth piece, where the arm connects to the body and the black mark around the hand.

As for this other mystery Kuby, sure looks like an Ewok, there are 400% Be@rbrick's so they can use that mold.

Just pray that they don't start making 1000% SW Kuby's or you'll be broke!  :-\

It's definitely a Be@rbrick . . . the belly is a dead giveaway. It could be a 400% of the Wicket chase Be@rbrick. Alternatively it could be a prototype of the Kaws wooden Be@rbrick (these were finally manufactured in Japanese redwood but this could have been a more neutral coloured wood).

Now the tooling is done for the 400% Han/Luke Stormtroopers a 400% Sandtrooper wouldn't be too much of a stretch  8)

I think the Stormtrooper and Fett are from this line…
