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?!
