Series 2

I bring good news and bad news.  This is a direct quote from a post by todoroki at kubrickworld.com.  

" Hot news from PArco...starwars 3 and more!    
 

So today I went to the medicom parco exhibition in Shibuya. It`s open for a few weeks and I`d definitely reccomend anyone in Japan to go check it out but be warned it could be heavy on the wallet.

Unfortunately all photography was banned and I didn`t want to risk getting chucked out before I could buy the limited edition bearbricks but I'm tempted to go back again next week and take a few sneaky ones.

Man, there was so much cool stuff that I can hardly remeber half of it or know where to start...Anyhow first announcement is the STARWARS SERIES 3: (I`m not that up on the starwars names so forgive my ignorance)

C3PO, (a little bit stubby)
Lando Carrussian, (nicely done with a big cloak)
Ewok (I think its wicket but i`m not sure)
Tie fighter pilot from the original star wars
Some kind of mini sandpeople thing.

They also have another starwars boxset coming out which had:
Han solo frozen inside Jabba the huts wall,
A black r2d2
the other rebel robot that navigates the x-wing.
And some weird ephemeral blue colured Obi wan.

They also had a blister carded Boba Fett from the "droids" Tv series, and the blister carded sandtrooper.

Next was another lot of Batman figures, this time based on the movie series:

Batman (again!)
Joker (Wicked)
Catwoman (with whip)
Penguin
Catwoman in office wear
These all looked really cool, the penguin is a kubrick classic in my opinion.

Other Kubricks I saw were the Nikkuman series 2, A new Nike series which looked way cool and **** man I can`t remember a whole lot else. Im definitely gonna go back and take notes! sorry guys.

The exhibition was mostly for Bearbricks and some nice ones coming out I saw were the Kill Bill 2 (kill is love logo on a white bearbrick) but the best thing of all is the set of 10 bearbrick you can buy with the admission ticket,. They cost 8000 yen but everyone is an `Artist` and these are I think the kubrick collectors item of the year. Expect them to be going for big bucks on ebay soon. There was also this 1000 % furry bearbrick with Almost famous logo which was 19000 yen, ******* massive, I don`t know how anyone could find room to display it! Okay I gotta go now coz im frantically dashing this out in an internet cafe. Hopefully someone else can write a more detailed account over the weekend but if not I`ll post some news and hopefully some photos when I get home midweek."




C3PO   ;D
No mention of Vader or Yoda.   :'(

Anyhow first announcement is the STARWARS SERIES 3: (I`m not that up on the starwars names so forgive my ignorance)

C3PO, (a little bit stubby)
Lando Carrussian, (nicely done with a big cloak)
Ewok (I think its wicket but i`m not sure)

Holy words I can't say on the forum!

C-3PO, Lando Calrissian, Ewok, Tie Fighter Pilot, Sandpeople thing.   ???  Thats only 5, there usually 6 in a set + chase fig's. That Sandpepole you got me, we have a Tusken Raider already.   A Jawa?

Sound almost like the ROTJ wave to me thus far.  8)

Blister carded Droids Boba Fett!  

Awe man, I gotta get a loan! The carded fig's are going to be the death of me!  :-\ ;D  

The other's maybe Tomy figures?

I'm hoping that there is a sixth in the set.  I also think he means a Jawa.  That is really cool.  The best thing about a Jawa is they are about the size of Yoda, so that would give us an idea what Yoda would look like size-wise.

There are only 5 fig's on the list & the chase fig's we won't know till they are released so hopefully the missing fig will be a Vader or a chase.  :-\

Good news indeed, now all we have to do is find out when they are released. HLJ is going to be getting another order from me.  ;D  Let's see, how many cases this time!  :-X

Yes indeed.  The carded figs will be interesting to watch.  Love to have another carded cartoony version.  Providing I ever see the first.  Oops, sorry, whining.  

Gotta getta Vader.

A Droids Fett, let's see, he first made his appearance in the SW Holiday Special... Please kill me.  ;D



You can see more of him here Boba Fett Multimedia Page

He was released on a Droids card back as seen here from the toysrgus archive.



I agree Brent, a cartoony Boba like the one printed on the card will be cool!  8)

A sake hangover! Been there, done that.  ;D

If they just recarded the basic Fett it would be more "accurate", but I too would like to see a repaint. :)

I like the custom jobs that people do on vintage Fetts. Those look awesome.
