Sideshow Utapau Clone Trooper - Perfected!!!

Sideshow Premium Format Scout Trooper Redux!
Posted by Paul | February 26, 2009 at 10:04 PM ET |
There is another! (Premium Format Scout Trooper that is.) Sideshow puzzlingly previews the newest Premium Format figure, an upright Scout Trooper sans speeder bike. This doesn't seem like the wisest choice to introduce another version of a previously released character, especially when there are so many other characters in our rich Star Wars universe. Perhaps they are trying to make this very popular character more affordable to other collectors! Here is hoping that this won't happen too often. Click thumbnail below to check out the preview.

piece to add to your collection. The

series, and the angle of his rifle is in a perfect pose and allows the viewer

Sideshow Calling Some 12" Figures "First Run"??!!
Posted by Paul | February 16, 2009 at 10:37 PM ET |
Sideshow posts a very intriguing Q&A today in their very popular "Ask Sideshow" segment. Collectors will be very interested in knowing that a revisit to the "limited edition" figures seems imminent. In particular, they comment on the 12" Stormtrooper from the Militaries Of Star Wars collection. They believe that collectors will want to see this figure again at another point and will consider "re-releasing" a tweaked version so the original version technically doesn't break edition size.
