A 4LOMKUSS Mystery – The Proto-Kaadu

We here at From 4-LOM to Zuckuss have come across a toy which appears to be a long lost ancestor of the Gungan Kaadu.  The only problem is we have no idea what property or series it comes from.  As this toy holds such a similar design to the Kaadu we are seeking help via our new Facebook page in identifying this "proto-Kaadu" and to see if we can make some connections between it and the concept artists for Episode 1.  Head on over to Facebook.com/4LOMKUSS to see more photos or to help us solve this mystery.

Star Wars Rebels – A look at what could be

Graphic Designer Engelha5t has created a series of concept action figure packages for the upcoming animated series Star Wars Rebels.  Not only has Engelha5t created some amazing card backs but he has shown that he possesses great EU knowledge as he has included versions of characters from Star Wars: Droids, future versions of Star Wars: The Clones Wars characters as well as popular Expanded Universe characters.  These cardbacks can be found on his deviantArt page but please be aware that some of his other images include adult content so viewer warning is advised.

Toy Huntering Boba Fett

Are you a fan of action figures, comic conventions, seeing collector's collections and traveling; then you should be watching Toy Hunter?  Jordan Hembrough is the host of this Travel Channel show which follows Hembrough's exploits across the country to acquire and resell new and vintage toys. Hembrough is a self-confess Star Wars action figure fan and so its not uncommon to see Star Wars action figures pop-up on his show.  In last week's episode "Toy Tycoon" Hembrough almost pulls the trigger on purchasing a carded Droids Boba Fett figure for $2.5K. Find out more about the Toy Hunter by clicking the pic!

A Sister Line – From a certain point of view

Toy Company Super 7 has announced their San Diego Comic Con Exclusive for 2013.  The set combines two classic Kenner toy lines: Alien and Star Wars!  These Alien figures are done in vintage 3 3/4 style and use the famous Kenner Star Wars Early Bird Package concept.  What makes this set not only cool for Star Wars action figure collectors but these figures were originally planed for release in 1979 but the line was shelved due to Kenner's larger Alien toy being deemed too scary for kids.
