From curto at RS

the word is that the animated style look has been VERY well received and Hasbro will be making oh, so many more that what they originally had planned. I

This is the first time in a long long time I have absolutely NO interest in collecting 3-3/4" Star Wars figures.  I don't care for the stylized look and really don't see the point in this series/movie.  Call my cynical and I will bring my kids to the movies but I'm not buying a dang thing and I don't think I'm alone (or am I )

For the last couple of years we ran an informal poll with your 10 most wanted characters from the current Star Wars Films. Since there is a lot of interest on these board for the Indiana Jones movies we are expanding the tradition and trying to finish up before Comic Con 2008.  Here's how it works: You send your Wish List for 10 3 3/4" Figures to me or post them here, be it new figures, resculpts or even re-releases and I'll tally the votes.  After four weeks of list taking I'll publish the results and we will move on to the next movie.  The 2nd Indiana Jones movie Temple of Doom is currently on deck.   If you need help coming up with names check out the Indiana Jones Wiki:  Temple of Doom Page.  Have fun and thanks for sending in your lists (remember to limit it to ten)!

Anyone else more than a little creeped out by 6 old guys sitting around playing their banjos and singing about Viagra?



It has to be one of the stupidest advertising campaigns of all time

Viva....viva....Viagraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

SO far they have confirmed an Empire Wave for 2009 and it will contain the greatest figure in the history of the line:



So, here's my hope for the rest:

Willrow Hood
Bespin Guard (Running ethnic change)
Ugnaught 2-pack Resculpt
Yoda (VOTC version with rocks, pots, and Luke's Gear)
Zuckuss Resculpt
Han Solo Bespin Jacket
Luke Skywalker (Medical Frigate)
Princess Leia (Medical Frigate)

Here's how it works: You send your Wish List for 10 3 3/4" Figures to me or post them here, be it new figures, resculpts or even re-releases and I'll tally the votes.  After two-three weeks of list taking I'll publish the results and we will move on to the next movie.  The final movie in the saga, Revenge of the Sith is the final wishlist.   If you need help coming up with names check out the Official Sites Databank:  Episode III.  Have fun and thanks for sending in your lists (remember to limit it to ten)!
