Our pal Shaun Clayton was in Chicago and sent in a couple of quick shots from C2E2 showing off Diamond Select Toys' new metal bottle openers!  Based on the helmet and torso armor of Darth Vader and Boba Fett, these two releases are due later this year and follow in the footsteps of their already-available and quite nifty Death Star Bottle Opener.  Also shown was a 501st Legion Clone Trooper Vinyl Bust Bank.  Check out the pics after the jump!

Star Wars to Stay With Dark Horse Comics

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, April 26, 2013

Since the House of Mouse bought Star Wars, people were wondering when the license would be shuffled over to Marvel Comics in a dual move of corporate synergy and retro  nostalgia.  It turns out it's not going to be until at least after 2014! Bleeding Cool reports that the line will be staying put for at least another year and change.  Good news for those of you hoping to see the current storylines through!  Click here for the whole story.  Here's the key quote:

C2E2 Gets Exclusive Convention Star Wars Jawa Bank

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, April 25, 2013

I'm a big fan of Diamond Select Toys' vinyl banks - they're pretty cheap, pretty nice, and pretty sizable in an era where things are getting more expensive and smaller.  At C2E2 in Chicago this weekend, they'll be selling an Exclusive Star Wars 1:4 Scale Jawa Vinyl Bank.  The regular version has a droid caller, the convention exclusive version has a blaster.  As a roughly 11-inch tall vinyl bank, it's pretty hefty for the asking price of just $22, particularly considering the low edition size of 250!  See the full picture after the jump.

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, April 23, 2013

While Halloween costumes are always a little wonky, and anything labeled "sexy" is suspect, I've just gotta share this link being passed around with this year's batch of sexy costumes.  Spandex versions of Darth Talon (pictured, complete with awesomely goofy hat), Asajj Ventress, Darth Vader, Ahsoka Tano, a Stormtrooper, and others are on display at Costume Craze.

SWAN 389: A Blueprint for Adventure

By Mike — Tuesday, April 23, 2013

When the book Star Wars: The Blueprints by J. W. Rinzler was released in 2011 few could argue that it was not an impressive collection of schematics and a wealth of information about the construction of some of the most iconic creations in movie history. But also, few could afford the massive book.
