Darth Vader Statue

I have also managed to get hold of one of these to add to my collection.

There was only six of these made as previously reported in our post here. I bought one from someone who won it as a competition prize, but then deceided they didn't want to keep it ... good for me!!

He is the same scale as Spiderman and the Harry Potter models, I wonder if any more have been made in this scale? I am probably forgetting some...

Again, it was sent to me in the original box (pictures here) which had interesting information including his birth date (22/01/07).

SW Maquette Chase Heads!

OK, I have now found pictures of the randomly inserted Han and Anakin heads that come in Darth Vader/Stormtrooper maquettes. I think I am going to have to open mine to see if I have one!!

I REALLY have to have these! (The Han one is fantastic!)

EDIT: I ripped open (well, more like very carefully separated!) the boxes when I got home last night and there was no Han head ... boo ... but there was a Anakin head, woo hoo! Number 11 and a Anakin head ... double woo hoo! Now I really want to know how many of the 1000 had them inside :)

They are very nice items, made of heavy resin rather than plastic, and I will try and put together a review of them pretty soon, but I will be doing a show at the Windsor park at the weekend so it will be next week sometime.

Star Wars Maquettes

I don't know if anyone has seen them, but these 6 inch high statues by Gentle Giant Studios are very nice! They are based on the look and feel of the Video game. The heads are removable and interchangable.

The Darth Vader and Stormtrooper ones are being shipped now, but are limited to 1000 pieces each and were sold out very quickly when they went on sale. I got mine a couple of days ago, but they have been delayed a long time as I ordered them in October 2007! I was happy when I looked at the number on Darth though as it was 11 of 1000! I think the first ten would probably be held back or given as prizes, so it might be the lowest number sent out normally! (The Stormie is number 161 if you care!)


The 'Blackhole' Stormtrooper was limited to only 500 pieces and was only available from one Star Wars event in Japan. I got mine from ebay a last month. They are already selling for silly money on ebay, so Iam glad I got two at the time when they were cheap :)


The Boba Fett one is still on pre-order and a few more are going to be made than the others as they are limited to 1500. There are not all sold out yet and you can order theme here.

I havn't opened mine yet, still deciding whether to or not :) but if I do I will post again with more pictures. I am really interested to see what kind of scale the plate they are standing on is though, so I might have to 'bite the bullet' and open them! Also, randomly inserted in the boxes are an extra 'chase' head of Anakin for Darth or Han for the Stormie, so I want to see if I have one. I have no idea how many of the 1000 contains them, and havn't even seen any pictures of them yet!

Darth Vader Sculpture

This is one of only 6 Glued Darth Vader large minifigs, made by LEGO themselves.

This one was signed by Dave Prowse (the original actor if you are not a SW fan!) at the Celebration Europe event in London recently. It was featured on athe TV programme, 'Richard and Judy' in the UK, but I missed it :( It was sold on ebay to raise money for charity and made an incredible £1,650 pounds!! (about $3300 USD).

It is approx 20 inches tall and it looks to be about 9:1 scale. It is very cool and I would love one of the other 5!
