TOYS Iron Man Mk3 Battle JPN

Japan Import: US$249.90/each

JAN/SKU Code: 27500934501
 TOYS Iron Man Mark 3 Battle Damaged Version - Preorder
NCS Preorder Synopsis
 «©NCSX» Tony Stark machine-tooled Iron Man's MK3 armor in his workshop and it rolled off the assembly line with a nice and shiny patina. Dazzling almost. However, it didn't stay like that for long since Iron Man is a target of evildoers and bad guys. Hot Toys is releasing a "Battle Damage" version of Iron Man where the natty suit of armor has been pockmarked and scarred with buckshot, scrapes, and unsightly dents. The 30cm posable figure is part of the Movie Masterpiece Series so it's assured to be of high quality. Preorders are welcome to ship in January 2010 at JPY22858 or US$249.

TOYS Chubby Star Wars S2 JPN

Japan Import: US$13.90/each

UPC/SKU Code: 4897011171746
 TOYS Chubby Star Wars Matryoshka Series 2 - Shipping
NCS Product Synopsis
 «©NCSX» Back in the summer of 2007, 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 releases a new set of toys dubbed the Chubby Star Wars Matryoshka Series 2. If successful, NCS expects a third Chubby Star Wars series in short order.

   Hailing from Mother Russia, matryoshka are better known as nesting dolls in the West which consist of a large figurine which cracks open to contain a smaller doll which in turn cracks open to contain 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:
» 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: 4897011171814]
   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.

» 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.

      Preorders for the Chubby Star Wars Series 2 figures listed above have begun shipping as of yesterday. There are two more figures which haven't arrived yet (Starfighter Pilots and Ewoks) but they're expected soon.
