Ever wondered what would happen if you took your favorite Star Wars characters, sculpted them as white marble Beethoven style busts, then shrank them down into detailed capsule toys? Neither have we, but apparently someone at Bandai Japan wondered, and the result is what you see here. Collect all five models including Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Han Solo, and Darth Vader. If you get really lucky you might even receive the secret figure.

Poker babes that are out of this world

We geeks don’t stop until we know it all. So if you’ve been playing poker with the same people for a while, you learn their tells. John always rubs his right eye when he’s got pocket aces, Mike always blinks uncontrollably when he’s bluffing, Timmy always gnaws on his tail when he’s got a straight. This makes for very boring poker, since you can read everyone like a book.

STAR WARS!

Add the Ladies of Star Wars Playing Cards to the mix and suddenly, the game is more interesting again. Does Mike have a great hand or is he just staring into the eyes of a Twi’lek dancing girl? Is John not folding because he has a great hand or because he can’t bear the thought of throwing away Senator Amidala? And Timmy… well, he’s still gnawing on his tail, but we’re not sure what that means. Let’s just call.

Yeah, that’s a bed designed to look like the millennium Falcon, which is awesome.  What ISN’T awesome though, is that they put Jar Jar in the cockpit.  WTF guys, that isn’t even cool.

The Emperor spent a lot of dough on building the Death Star. It had every amenity an artificial planet could offer: soaking tubs, day spa, and a giant laser cannon. But then it got blown up. As penance, the Emperor ordered Darth Vader to use his own allowance to finance the construction of a second Death Star. So, Vader emptied his piggy banks and . . . well, you know the rest (now you know the real reason why the second Death Star was unfinished – Vader ran out of change)! But did you know that all of Vader’s piggy banks looked just like him? True story.

If you want to send your child off to school with all possible advantages, setting them up for a lifetime of success and well-balanced friendship, you really should avoid this R2-D2 backpack. Because really, no matter how much you or your kid loves Star Wars, there is just no way this won’t get your kid beat up.

I wonder, is this the R2 from the orignal series, or is this the R2 from the prequels.  Asked another way : does it have rockets?

Incredibly detailed for their size, these snap-together pre-painted models come with display bases and are perfect for desktop display. This set features the first-ever Y-wing with body shell as seen in the book Star Wars: Incredible Cross Sections (of course, The Clone Wars has redefined the look of the pre-hotrodded Y-wing, but we still think this version is pretty cool). Other models include the AT-AT, Snowspeeder, standard Y-wing, TIE Advanced x1, and AT-TE.

Jakks also has a trio of fantastic 3D kites available — Vader’s TIE fighter, Millennium Falcon, and X-wing — which are now available at Sams, TRU, BJ’s, Target, and Meijer’s! --StarWars.com

yes, I realize that the product just might be fake, but dammit it’s funny, so laugh!

thanks to Topless Robot!

Fans looking to spend some time at the pool or park this summer can look forward to a great new selection of Star Wars inflatables and kites from Jakks Pacific now hitting store shelves!

Available at Target stores in the US and at Walmart Canada are four new inflatable starships and a Death Star beach ball (why has it taken 31 years to get one of these?!):

* Millennium Falcon and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Starfighter are over three feet long!
* X-wing and Anakin Skywalker’s Jedi Starfighter each measure over five feet long and include a direct-draw water cannon!
* The Artoo inflatable drink server won’t be available until next year, but we couldn’t resist sharing this one early!
