Master Replicas

Master Replicas finally had a model of the Millennium Flacon on site that we could appreciate with our own eyes and not just photographs, and it is a good thing too because from the working headlights to the tiniest of details inside the cockpit this is one Studio Scale vehicle that will live up to the hype and beyond! Other features include working engine lights, fantastic detailing of the ship from front to back and paint applications that are so good you just may want to take it out for a spin. The ship is displayed on a mirrored base at an angle so you can appreciate the detail of the bottom of the ship as well as the top, and a plaque with the ship specifications is also included.

Sideshow Collectibles

The Sideshow Collectibles booth was enough to blow anyone away at first glance alone, but once you got inside and saw what they had to offer you would be blown away time and time again. At center stage was the first of the Scum and Villainy 12" figures...Jabba the Hutt! Jabba is sold separately from his Throne Environment and Salacious Crumb and gang and is sure to be one of the greatest highlights of any collection from the drool seeping from his slugish mouth to the fantastic detail and texture on the throne, hooka pipe and the denizens that hang around the big gangster. But every crime lord needs a right hand man so enter the 12" Bib Fortuna to be offered up for pre-order later this month and the first in the Sideshow Star Wars military line...Leia in Boussh disguise.

Also on display was the 1:1 Scale Yoda bust and a huge surprise of 1:1 scale R2-D2 and C-3PO figures! Check back for our exclusive interview with Sideshow Collectibles for the full rundown and details about the future of all these lines.
