BREAKING NEWS:
STAR WARS DAY - HOT TOYS ANNOUNCES "JEK PORKINS" COLLECTIBLE FIGURE !
First
of all, ToyFarce News wishes all of you a happy Star Wars day!
Everybody knows that today is Star Wars day, thanks to the "May the 4th
be with you" motto, but did you know that there is also reason to
celebrate on the following day, as it is "Revenge of the Fifth"? It has
been a fantastic day for all Star Wars fans across the galaxy, with tons
of new announcements from Hasbro, with new 'The Black Series' figures
such as Luke with Yoda 2-pack, 4-LOM and Zuckuss, a Han Solo in
Carbonite figure, and a 'Carbonized' Darth Vader (which is a new thing
for Hasbro, where they paint the figures in disgusting metallic colors,
and manage to sell them again!), a Boba Fett Prototype Replica Helmet
(read: unpainted), and of course, a Baby Yoda-themed Monopoly board game
(we are not even kidding on that one...).
The
Hong Kong brand Hot Toys also surprised the fans with new
announcements, including a re-issue of their "Empire Strikes Back -
Darth Vader", but in a packaging similar to the vintage Kenner figures.
Also, a repainted Boba Fett figure, sporting the not-so screen accurate
colors of the vintage Kenner figure, will be joining Vader in that
'vintage packaging' line. Finally, Hot Toys teased all the fans with a
picture teasing Captain Rex, the clone trooper from the animated series
'The Clone Wars', promising that they would release figures from that
show very soon as well! ('very soon' has a different meaning in Hong
Kong.)
However,
it was not the last surprise for that day! ToyFarce News got the
exclusive scoop that another figure would be announced for the Hot Toys
1/6th scale collectible figures line, and it is an epic, all-time fan
favorite character! Hot Toys will soon announce... everyone's favorite
plus-size X-Wing pilot Jek Porkins!! The Episode IV star nearly stole
the spotlight from Luke Skywalker during the Death Star battle, and
quickly gathered a huge fan-base. The figure will come with a brand new
'chunky' body (most likely a re-use of the Endgame Thor figure, which
will now finally allow Hot Toys to make more overweight characters), a
screen accurate headsculpt as well as Porkins' signature helmet, a
blaster, a Triple-Cheeseburger, a can of soda, and the exclusive edition
will come with a recliner chair!
Be
sure to be on the lookout for more announcements from Hot Toys during
those 2 'Star Wars'-themed days, as ToyFarce News heard a rumor that
there might be more coming very soon...including an exclusive figure
that has been demanded by fans for over 20 years!! Youssa have any idea
who?!
