Medicom Stormtrooper Bearbrick



I'm a sucker for Star Wars and this might put a big dent in my bank account. Medicom is celebrating their 15th year by releasing this 400% Stormtrooper Bearbrick. The toy also comes with a t-shirt made by Stussy that says "I have a bad feeling about this," which as all of us uber nerds know is a classic line from the first film. No word on price yet, but nothing that I ever want is cheap.

XBox Meets Star Wars



Behold the beauty of what can happen when two giant nerd enterprises come together to create magic. Microsoft just unveiled its collaboration with Star Wars for this limited edition Xbox 360. The system will be released in time for the holidays and will also include the motion activated Kinect add on and a copy of Kinect Star Wars all for $449.99. And we all thought Star Wars Kid's training was a waste of time.



Kozik x Maqet Heathrows Almost Gone



Kozik first unleashed this little guy at San Diego Comic Con this week and they quickly sold out. But now Maqet is giving you a chance to own one of these on their website. For those of you that don't know, Maqet is a company that utilizes 3D printing machines to create toys, and they're made right here in the United States. The technology and finished product will blow your mind. If you want one of these for your Kozik collection you better get on it.

My Little Pony Comic Con Exclusive


Every year Hasbro creates another My Little Pony for San Diego Comic Con that drives my wife insane until I get her one. The above picture is this year's design, which is a little more edgy than the super hero themes of past cons. This one is looking pretty intense and even has skulls on it! If you want one, don't be suckered by people selling them on Ebay for the price of a German sports car. Hasbro always has plenty left over and available in their online store the week after. Trust me, I've become an expert in pony wrangling.

Mimobot x Star Wars flash drive


For one reason or another, the characters with the least amount of screen time have become some of the most popular in the Star Wars universe (Boba Fett anyone?), and the bounty hunters are definitely at the top of that list. The latest designer flash drive from Mimobot is none other that everyone's favorite reptilian gun-for-hire, Bossk. And being that all of the big toy news is centered around San Diego Comic Con, why should this be any different you say? Mimobot is allowing people who can't attend the con to put their name on a waiting list by emailing sdcc@mimoco.com for your chance to purchase this piece.
