Star Wars Prequel Trilogy Haters Beware – Jar Jar Binks MIMOBOT a Reality

SW_JarJarBinks_LTDED_MIMOBOT

Last year, Mimoco yanked the chains of Star Wars prequel trilogy haters by announcing the Jar Jar Binks MIMOBOT USB flash drive – as an April Fool’s Day joke. Fast forward to this year’s April Fool’s – prequel haters brace yourself – they’re really doing it. The Jar Jar Binks MIMOBOT is available on the Mimoco website in limited quantities – 500 to be precise.

The joke now is that some hardcore Star Wars collectors may find themselves in a quandary that would challenge even Yoda: pick up what is sure to be an extremely limited exclusive for their collections, or skip the most hated character in the Star Wars universe. To help you say no, if you get Jar Jar and install the accompanying software, you’ll get a dose of Jar Jar Binks sound bites every time you plug him into your computer. Yousa people gonna die.

Border Patrol: The Walking Dead

Did you catch The Walking Dead finale this weekend? Crazy, huh? Actually, I haven’t seen it yet, and hope to catch it soon on Netflix, late at night and in a dark room. Still, eBay customizers are looking to ride the zombie wave, with a fair amount of Walking Dead customs this week. And, to my dismay, some spoilers have come with them.

  • The Governor (1/6 scale) by leftoverzombies – ok, so I can’t complain much about seeing the Governor and his lost eye, since he’s been all over the previews – I still try to avoid them but it’s almost impossible if you watch any TV these days – he comes with a lot of accessories, least of which is the removable bandage revealing some gruesome details – ends Apr 05, 2013 18:05:36 PDT
  • Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon custom heads by numo – while not full customized figures, get these heads and you’ve got the most important parts of 1/6 scale customs – end Apr 04, 2013 11:12:30 PDT and Apr 04, 2013 11:08:16 PDT respectively

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

Toy Fair 2013: Square Enix Play Arts Kai

I am getting around to posting pics in the backlog from Toy Fair. My tag team partner from Fwoosh, Hagop, did such a great job with coverage that the pressure was off to get things posted – but I realized that I had more stuff in the backlog than I actually posted.

Here’s a look at the Play Arts Kai offerings from Square Enix. The 8-inch scale is a bit of an anomaly for the rest of my collection, but between the quality of sculpt and articulation scheme I put the Play Arts Kai Street Fighters on my Best of 2012 list. They’re continuing the line with more Street Fighter 4 figures – just not fast enough for my liking.
