Darth Vader Holographic 20-Inch Action Figure Convention Exclusive

Posted on by

Via Entertainment Earth News:

Fresh from the Battle of Hoth, Darth Vader is ready to dominate your collection. Available only at the Entertainment Earth Comic-Con booth #2343, this limited edition Star Wars Darth Vader Holographic 20-Inch Action Figure – Convention Exclusive is a must-have for any Star Wars fan! This clear blue Sith Lord boasts seven points of articulation and a lot of Force power, plus the holographic deco of the figure helps recreate the transmission effect from Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back.

Standing 20-inches tall, this is the first-ever holographic Darth Vader action figure in scale with the actual size of the holograph signal used to communicate with General Veers in the film. Just think – your very own life-size hologram figure!

As you might expect, the Dark Lord of the Sith comes with his classic costume, complete with a silver chain on the cape around his neck.

Darth Vader is packaged in an amazing light-up box featuring an exquisite Battle of Hoth backdrop and silver foil highlights. Push the button on the box and this holographic transmission action figure comes to life!

NOTE: This item will only be sold at San Diego Comic-Con 2015 at the Entertainment Earth booth #2343. It will not be for sale on our website at any time.

Stop by our booth to get this spectacular figure for yourself!

ASK JAKKS – June 2015

Scott Neitlich is the new Director of Action Figure and Collector product at JAKKS Pacific.  He reached out to select Star Wars sites and gave us the opportunity to participate in an Q&A Monthly session called ASK JAKKS, here is our second segment.  Enjoy, and if you have a question you want us to ask Scott, let us know!  If you missed it last month click here to read our May 2015 questions

Chris from YN: In the Big Figs lines do you have any plans or looked into doing some creatures, like Tauntaun, Dewback, or even Jabba in the 20″ 18″?

Scott: This is something that does fall into our contract rights and would be a ton of fun to do. Really the catch is that a retailer (or retailers) are needed to support such a large and expensive item. It doesn’t mean something like this is off the table, and we have had many discussions. We just don’t have specific plans to announce…yet.

C: In the Big Figs lines is there any chance we could see any small vehicles like a Landspeeder or Speeder Bike in 20″ 18″ line?

S: Pretty much the same answer as above. We have thought a lot about these type of things and would love to tackle them. It just takes finding the right retail partner or partners who would be interested in carrying this type of item to help get it out to collectors. Never say never!

C: Is there a place us fans can go to give you our feedback or any character suggestions to you? Like your Facebook or Twitter page?

S: Those are both excellent places. Our Facebook page is www.facebook.com/jakkspacific and our twitter handle is @jakkstoys.

 

New Big Figs Coming from Jakks Pacific?

Posted on by

Today, Jakks Pacific teased an image showing Luke, Greedo and Han Solo but did not say what size they will be in. Could they be the same ones we saw at NYTF this past February in the 18″-20″ scale, or were these 3 picked to be the next in the larger scale that could be either 31″ or 48″? Looking at the teaser and the images we took at NYTF, either someone at Jakks does not realize we have seen these (so why white them out) , or they indeed will be larger scale, possibly with “deluxe” like features.

ASK JAKKS – May 2015

Scott Neitlich is the new Director of Action Figure and Collector product at JAKKS Pacific.  Last month, he reached out to select Star Wars sites and gave us the opportunity to participate in an Q&A Monthly session called ASK JAKKS, here is our first segment.  Enjoy, and if you have a question you want us to ask Scott, let us know!

Chris from YN: Do you have any plans for other Star Wars product lines besides the various action figures and flash lights so far?  Anything that you can share with us?

Scott: At this time our Star Wars focus in on our Big Figs lines which includes 20” (18”), 31” and 48” figures as well as the Flashlights. We do have some amazing expansions of our Big Fig lines and you can look for more details at the summer conventions this year!

C: With the various size action figures we are getting the Original Trilogy, Prequel Trilogy, Star Wars Rebels, and the EU so far. With such a variety on so few figures so far, how are you choosing who to make? Do you have a specific focus?

S: For retail releases in Star Wars we tend to focus on the most well known characters that will appeal to moms/dad and their kids, like Scout Troopers, Darth Vader, Ezra, Chewbacca and Boba Fett. For collector specific executions we hope to dig a little deeper in the character selection as well as offer more detail and accessories. We hope to have more news about collector specific Star Wars figures later this year!

C: We know there will be The Force Awakens product coming, can you tell us when we will start seeing those?

S: Sorry but we cannot comment on Episode 7 product at this time.
