UPDATE: TODO-360 Figure Coming?
We've gotten in pretty solid information that TODO-360, the proper little droid voiced by Seth Green on The Clone Wars 3-D will be getting his own action figure in the near future. He's almost more an accessory, but fans of the character will be pleased.
UPDATE: Hasbro has mentioned TODO-360 in the Q&A as noted by our own staffer Jeff Smentek. He'll be getting a figure sooner rather than later though it seems. Hopefully more details will follow soon.

New Star Wars Miniatures Company
 
A new company, Knight's Models, have picked up the miniatures license left by Wizards of the Coast. The company makes White Metal miniatures, which are more like the metal cast minis from West End Games from years back. Check out their site for both their 30mm and 70mm scales. 70mm isn't quite Hasbro scaled though, if you're curious.
