News: Fine Molds 1/48 Snow Speeder

Fine Molds is releasing this 1/48 snowspeeder on Sep 30 for 2800 yen.

The plastic kit will feature precolored plastic (I wouldn't count on having the weathering effects), decals, movable cockpit windshield and open or closed air brakes.

News: Gentle Giant Princess Leia Bust

Gentle Giant is releasing this Princess Leia bust in Feb, and I think Hot Toys is releasing it for the Japanese market around June 2010 for approx. 7800 yen.


The obvious question is which half of the princess do you prefer...

I meant, the half that came from Queen Amidala or the half that came from Anakin Skywalker?

News: Star Wars Light Saber Chop Sticks

Finally, I got some exciting news. You can now order these Light Saber chopsticks from Amazon.co.jp for 1000 yen a pair, but of course, they don't outside of Japan. BTW, there are proxy mailing services that will help ship you the products for an admin charge. That's why they say, if there is a will, there is a way.

3 styles to choose from: Vader, Luke and Yoda. They are standard size 23 cm long, the blades do not light up, but they do meet the Food and Safety standard in Japan.
