The Action Figure History of Episode III’s Jedi Starfighters

With the recent Saga Legends release of two all-new Jedi Starfigther vehicles, From 4-LOM to Zuckuss is taking a look back at the previous incarnations of the Episode III spaceship.  So sit back, strap-in and put just your headpiece on (because apparently flight suits are not needed during the prequel ear?) as we fly through each release and reissue of the Jedi’s newest and last starfigther. The year is 2005 and the release of Star War Episode III: Revenge of the Sith saw our heroes following the Prequel Trilogy tradition of piloting different vehicles with each successive film.  Unlike the Original Trilogy where X-Wings and Falcons remained steadfast throughout the series, the prequels preferred to switch it up with each new installment.  In the opening [...]

Kaboom Toys’ Darth Macho and Friends

What do you get when you cross a Tonka action figure with a Kenner Vader figure?  Darth Macho of course!  Kaboom Toys has merged these two figures into one unique figure.  Darth Macho may not be Star Wars cannon but it is quite an interesting figure for vintage or Darth Vader focus collectors.  This particular Sith Lord is described as follows: Darth Macho is not your normal asthmatic cyber man, he's buff and beautiful and waiting poolside for your sexy ass to have a cocktail with him. He comes fully equipped with a gray display / platform to stand on, an orange light saber and a black vinyl cape. He stands 4" tall. Darth Macho is the brainchild of artist Christopher Cannon who creates original [...]

Seattle 2013.  This International Collector Event was, for the lack of a better description, a 5-day “convention” for Star Wars collectors the world over.  Unlike the typical convention which is open to the public and heavily advertised, I.C.E was a tightly kept secret by those involved in or with the collecting community.  It was not publicized and was by invitation only because of the locations that the convention took place. Seattle and the surrounding area was the destination for the approximate 200 collectors who attended because of the regions high concentration of world-renowned Star Wars collectors.  Many of the I.C.E. events took place at the private homes of these collectors [...]
