Manly Art’s Pimp2-D2

Artist Jason Chalker AKA"Manly Art" has created a very cool and unique vintage collectible: Pimp2-D2.  His new spin on R2-D2 is not a custom of the vintage figure but a newly cast mold in resin based off of the original droid.  As the package indicates (and more likely motivated by Lucasfilm intimidation) this is not a toy but a collectible.  Originally offered at last year's New York Comic-Con, Pimp2 was released online through The Manly Art Shop this past December.  The purple droid retailed for $50 but like most vintage-themed Star Wars items, proved to be very popular and is now sold out.

Star Wars Returns to Marvel Comics

With today's announcement that Star Wars comics will return to Marvel Comics has brought out more mixed feeling then we would have thought.  Also these press releases leave so many questions unanswered! Star Wars press release Dark Horse press release Our top 5 unanswered questions: Will Dark Horse comic continuity be completely sweep aside leaving us with three distinct comic book universes? Will Marvel publish more or less Star Wars comics as it is just a drop in the bucket to their overall library? Any chance that they can mimic what GI Joe and Transformers has done and pick-up where the original Marvel series left off? Will the switch to Marvel entice Hasbro to revisit the Comic two-pack concept which they are currently doing in [...]
