Dear Readers,

If you’re Star Wars fans than you know this question well. If you find yourself wondering why I am asking than you must know that I shot first. By shot I mean I photographed the latest Han Solo UQS figure to come in. This is the anticipated Mos Eisley Han Solo, he comes with his trusty blaster and is completed by his cocky smile. I took a ton of pictures and I clipped them all for a great blog gallery. Go check it out for yourself, there are tons of close ups and action shots for your viewing pleasure. Be on the lookout for the Mos Eisley Han Solo Ad in previews and in some of the Star Wars publications, he should be making an appearance very soon!

And just for fun…

Dear Fellow Star Wars Fanatics!

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh , oh my gosh… He’s here he’s really here! The UQS Anakin has made his way to my desk and I took lots of great photos of him for the blog gallery. Keep your eyes peeled because he is just as awesome as the others have been. I couldn’t wait to get this guy, although in the movies Hayden Christensen doesn’t really do it for me, the character himself is really deep and super involved, I love the twisted and tortured one’s! The eyes are great on this sculpt, I kept catching myself really focusing in on them when taking the pictures. The hair is also spot on, I was skeptical that the hair would come out perfect but it did and I almost with it were real hair and not resin. Enough gushing, Anakin is here and he is awesome, I can’t wait to share him with all of you!

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,

Dear Readers,

It’s me, DST-Jen, back again with some more Star Wars news, don’t you just love it! I got Mace Windu on my desk this week and by god he is incredible. I had not one but two people come over and comment on how awesome the likeness was and how they plan to buy one to turn it into either a custom Pulp Fiction figure or a snakes on a plane figure. This doesn’t bother me any, I mean common it’s Sammy Jackson! Everyone knows Mace Windu is low on the list of awesome Sammy “J” roles. None the less he is still amazing and you will be blown out of the water when you see his face and how close the likeness is, I mean really I kept seeing him out of the corner of my eye on my desk and it was a little freaky, I was waiting for him to come alive and start yelling about snakes on a plane or ask me what counrty I am from. I shot him and got him all clipped out so expect to see a gallery up soon with lots of great pictures!

getting excited for the UQS!

Dear Readers,

This is a two part blog post, I want to talk about the Ultimate Quarter Scale Box for a minute and I also want to shout out to the Star Wars fans and giggle about our Q&A this week.

Dear Readers,

I am not sure how many of you guys are actually here every day reading and keeping up with the new UQS line of Star Wars figures, but I am going to imagine it’s the first thing you do every morning before brushing your teeth. I will also picture all of you in bantha slippers and Jedi bath Robes, okay? Early this week you may have read about finishing up the packaging and having some issues with it. You may also remember me mentioning a bit of a surprise and leaving a big blank out of the posted picture as to keep you on the edge of your seat. Well sit on the edge no longer!!!

Dear Star Wars Fans and Readers,

I just got done reading the Q&A for this week and i am so, so very disappointed in the Star Wars fans turnout for this one. As the resident Star Wars junkie (aside from DST Schaff) I am deeply worried about this. Star Wars fans are notoriously involved and passionate. I also think that Star Wars fans while passionate are also very honest and are a kinder/gentler fan, unlike the one guy who sent in a question this week. I may have to start getting on all the Star Wars boards and forums to generate some hype amongst the Fans to start getting their questions in. I have a feeling once the first is released the mail will come in dump trucks but until then we should still be dealing with more than one guy who clearly has no idea what he’s talking about (the clothing on our UQS is of the highest quality and probably nicer than anything you could buy at a department store right now). So this is my plea, If you love Star Wars, if you are excited about the line plan we have, if you can’t wait to get your hand on these UQS figures then please, start getting the word out, start asking those probing questions, and help me prove that Star Wars fans are the best kind of fans, seriously, you guys are letting the trekies take over and it’s embarrassing me.

Dear Readers,

Just got done working on the upcoming ads for this month and my favorite, as always is the UQS Star Wars Figure. This month it’s “A New Hope” Obiwan Kenobi, you know the O-G Obiwan! He of course has a great outfit with a ton of layers but I really dig the face sculpt on this one. I am normally the go-to for face sculpt likeness around here and I think this one is money. There’s always fans who don’t like our likenesses or who think they could be better, but I doubt this one will get too much slack from you guys. Not to mention the past two including Darth Maul have been spot on as well!

I am still waiting on word back from the factory as to whether or not the box setup I made is a go, but boy when I get the green light will you guys have a ton of new cool design stuff to hear about. Theres just nothing that makes my day more than having Star Wars stuff to work on, love it!

From the Geeky hands of…
