    Posted by Pete | May 27, 2004 at 05:44 PM ET |

         Tonight we have updated the Original Trilogy Collection Visual Guide with all four figures from the Dagobah wave!
         Luke Skywalker comes with two sets of arms as well as two head sculpts so that you can recreate a variety of scenes from The Empire Strikes Back simply by replacing one set with the other. If Luke is not performing a handstand, the backpack that is included with the Yoda figure can be attached to his back and Yoda can be taken for a ride!
         Spirit Obi-Wan has articulation at the head, shoulders, elbows and wrists...not bad for someone who now lives on another plane of the Force! And, while R2-D2 has limited articulation, a press of the button produces a variety of sounds from that famous R2 scream to a wide variety of astromech chatter!
         Alliance Collectibles has the entire Dagobah wave in stock now, along with all your other OTC needs and beyond, so stop in today, check them out and place your order!!
