November 24, 2008 : Kirk is larger than life!

I am sure as many of you know from reading posts of past and seeing ads in previews the UQS Kirk is almost here! We have just finished up the packaging line for the UQS Star Trek Series, you probably got a look at Spock too in the gallery. We are following the new look for the Star Trek style guide and giving you a super sized window to view the super sized Kirk. At a whopping 19 inches this Kirk will tower over your regular figures like a giant, buff and awesome Shattner with a shrink ray. I picture him stomping amongst your regular figures laughing a deep guttural laugh and firing his shrink ray aimlessly, torn shirt optional of course. Okay, back to reality! He’s going to have sound so you will be able to try him threw the window, just in try me mode though so you have to buy him to get all the phrases (just a switch on his back). Pre-orders for this guy are a must because I think once he hits it’s going to be hard to find him, so you know what to do!

I think I’ve earned my pay for the week,

: Return to New Caprica!

Although, if you watch the show, I don’t know how much “returning to New Caprica” you’d want to do! Considering it was Cylon occupied and the humans had to flee…once again (widely known as the Second Exodus). (more…)


 
 
 
 

November 23, 2008 : Oh my!

I think that all Sulu posts should be called “Oh my!” Hey, it is either that or “Blow’d Up” (kudos to the 6 people that remember that one). Anyway, we’re working on a pilot Sulu for some thing or another (it’s sad when the variants run together). This isn’t the best pic in the world, but all of you Sulu fans should recognize the uniform color. Stay tuned for further news on when and where you can get this guy.


 
 
 
 

November 22, 2008 : Return of The Flux!

OK, so you all know about the Flux Capacitor and you all know how awesome it is (or should I say “was” seeing as how it sold out so quickly). (more…)

: Fits like a glove - eventually

The Episode 3 Anakin Skywalker glove was recently revised and, in doing so, I had to cast another copy in hard wax after my first attempt to rework the original sculpt failed. (more…)
