Ok, I've been waiting to dive into these until Maul showed up... Now I don't have an excuse!  Those all look awesome, but the two Mauls are going to be very high on my list.

If anyone wants to be my pimp, PM me and let me know what I have to do for those two  ;)

Depends on the price for me, but I's like the Uzay most of all.

These do look cool - I may need to pick up a few if the price is right.

Thanks for posting the pic - why is the Jango facing the wrong way?  ???

My guess is to show off the different rocket pack.

Actually that thought had crossed my mind too.  I'll definitely open one, but I'm thinking having a second carded would be the only carded Kube I'd really want to keep that way.  So yeah, two...

I gotta confess, I must be starved for new Kubs, those actually look pretty nice.  For prequel stuff and all.

Took me a while, but I traced the origin of the pic (had to dig deep in my japanese sources ;)) -

http://openers.jp/culture/cspecial/medicom_exhibition_001.html
http://openers.jp/culture/cspecial/medicom_exhibition_002.html

Lots of other images from the Parco show there for those interested in more than just Star Wars stuff from Medicom. ;)


Here is the text that goes with the pic:

KUBRICK STAR WARS (TM) SERIES (NOT FINAL PRODUCT)
STARWARSシリーズはメディコムに欠かせないカテゴリに成長した。KUBRICKなどの新製品がずらり並ぶ。

Or, in english:

KUBRICK STAR WARS (TM) SERIES (NOT FINAL PRODUCT)
As for the STARWARS series, it grew in the category which it is essential to business. The new product of KUBRICK and the like lines up in a row.

Yeah, I know - not much help.   :P

From left to right:
- the first 5 figures are from Series 8 (Maul, Anakin, Amidala, Qui-Gon, 3PO)
- above those five is the Maul/Sith Speeder Box Set
- the next two figures are from Series 9 (Clone, Jango #1)
- the next 4 figures are from the AotC 5-Pack Box Set  (AotC 3PO, Jango #2, Red Clone, Arena Padme)
- the last two are the upcoming convention carded exclusives (Shadow Guadr and Uzay Bluestar)

That means we are still missing pics for:
- 1 from Series 8 (Battle Droid)
- 4 from Series 9 (Obi-Wan, Dooku, Anakin, Yoda)
- 1 from the AotC Box Set (Super Battle Droid)


Looking at that breakdown leaves me scratching my head again- Why is the super battle droid going in a box set? It would have been a good series box-filler, and could have gone in series 9 with the white clone (3 of each). I wonder who the Anakin spirits are going to be in these boxes...

Medicom will always leave you scratching your head.
Such is Kubricks.
Best to not think about it or your brain will be at risk of melting.
