Last summer, Hot Toys of Hong Kong released the
Chubby Star Wars Matryoshka Series 1 and
captured the hearts of Star Wars fans across the
globe. Since success begets success, Hot Toys has
started preorders for
the
Chubby Star Wars Matryoshka Series 2.
Hailing from Mother Russia, matryoshka are better known as
nesting dolls which consist of a large figurine
which cracks open to contain a smaller doll which in
turn cracks open to container an even smaller doll.
The Star Wars matryoshki keeps the diminishing scale
simple at three dolls although it's not uncommon for
some nesting dolls to hold 6-8 figures. The
characters featured in Chubby Series 2 are as
follows (top to bottom):
Stormtrooper/Clone Troopers
[Jan Code:
4897011171791]
An Imperial
Stormtrooper serves as the largest figure followed
by two Republic Clone Troopers. Each trooper carries
an armament across its chest and peers into the
world with solemn soulless eyes.
Jango Fett/Boba Fett
[Jan Code:
4897011171807]
Since Jango
is the father figure, he's the primary nesting doll
which houses a Boba Fett figure in full armor with
blaster rifle followed by a Boba Fett as a child.
Even as a kid, Boba had trouble written all over his
face.
Luke Skywalker
[Jan Code:
4897011-171814]
In the Star
Wars movies, viewers watched Luke grow from punk kid
to mighty Jedi master. Luke's Chubby turn features
his Jedi incarnation as the lead followed by Luke in
Bespin uniform and Luke as a lad on Tatooine.
Starfighter Pilots
[Jan Code:
4897011171821]
The vanguard
of the Rebel Alliance was made up of dedicated
pilots who fearlessly flew into battle against
seemingly insurmountable odds. The Starfighter
Pilots Chubby features the amber-visor-visage of the
Red Leader, Gray Leader, and the toddler-like Green
Leader.
Princess Leia
[Jan Code:
4897011171838]
Leia with
the duo-donuts hairstyle is missing from this trio
but you'll have to be content with Leia as Boushh
the Bounty Hunter, Leia from her experience on Endor,
and Leia when she was a guest of Jabba the Hut.
Ewoks
[Jan Code:
4897011171845]
The Big
Kahuna in the Chubby Ewoks trio is Logray, the
wizened medicine man who wears a funky headdress.
He's followed by Chief Chirpa who almost roasted
Luke on a spit and Wicket, the rascally Ewok scout.
The largest of each nesting doll measures 8.5cm (3.34"), the medium
figure is 5.7cm (2.24"), and the smallest stands
4.5cm (1.77") tall.
A new feature for the Chubby Series 2 Matryoshka is
magnetic feet so each doll is inherently attracted
to metal surfaces.
Preorders are welcome to ship in
late July 2008 at JPY1426 or US$12.90 per set of
three figures. |
