Is it real?

From the website Almost Nerdy:

"Star Wars Toy Photos Look Real

Wow. I must say I was speechless when I first saw these images.  I’m a big Star Wars fan and recently started collecting vehicles after a friend of mine took pictures in the snow of his AT-AT and Snowspeeder.  I thought they looked pretty real and just a lot of fun.  Vesa Lehtimäki has raised the bar with these images.  Impressive, most impressive.  I had to do a double take on some of these shots because they look so real.  He also has some great action figure photos as well. Click on the the images below to open the gallery and comment on which is your favorite."

Shaak Ti

Sideshow announced recently the pre-order of a new Premium Format Figure for the Star Wars line, Master Jedi Shaak Ti. Here are some pictures of this amazing statue. You can check more pics in the Sideshow blog, here.

Mythos as arrived

Sideshow launched a new line of Star Wars statues etitled "Mythos". For the moment, we can delight ourselves with the wise and nomad Ben Kenobi, the mysterious Darth Maul or the brute Gamorrean Executioner.

The only thing I can add is UAU! The sculptures are very detailed, they have a sense of movement that captures your eye, and the chosen palette combines in perfection with each character.

Here´s some pictures for you to enjoy.

Enjoy Christmas...

...in Sideshow.

Darth Maul by Kotobukiya

The all new Darth Maul appears like you’ve never seen him before. Inspired by Katsushika Hokusai’s traditional Japanese ukiyo-e (“pictures of the floating world”) style, the Sith warrior balances atop a rocky outcropping in a samurai-like pose. Stripped to the waist, the Zabrak wears a tattered robe that twists and flows with incredible sculpted detail. In his state of undress Maul reveals a body covered in intricate Sith tattoos, while his snarling face captures his hatred for the Jedi and the all-consuming rage in his heart. Of course, no version of Darth Maul would be complete with his blood red double-bladed lightsaber, and this one even has a special light up feature!

Sculpted by Junnosuke Abe, Darth Maul stands approximately 11 inches (in 1/7th scale with all other Star Wars ARTFX Statues). With its detailed construction and unique styling, this Sith menace is a snap-fit kit that can be put together easily in seconds without glue or modeling skill!

A 40" Darth Maul

Sideshow Collectibles recently released a new statue of Darth Maul, one of my favourite characters. For my surprise, this sculpture is huge, is stands 40" in height! I don´t have much more to say, the piece talks by itself.
Sideshow also created a very atractive page with lots of info about Darth Maul, his story, the specs of the sculpture, etc. Click here to check.
If you have 1999.99$ saved, think twice ;) Or maybe Santa can be good for you this year...

A Sideshow Collectible lançou recentemente uma nova estátua de Darth Maul, uma das minha personagens preferidas. Para minha surpresa, esta escultura é enorme, com cerca de 1m de altura! Não posso dizer muito mais do que isto, já que a peça fala por si própria.
Uma página bastante atrativa sobre a peça foi também criada, com muita informação sobre Darth Maul, a sua história, especificidades da escultura, etc. Cliquem aqui para verem.
Se tiverem 1999.99 US$ guardados, pensem bem ;) Pode ser que o Pai Natal este ano seja generoso...

Boba Fett - Life Size Bust

From time to time, Sideshow greets us with excelent sculptures, making my head spin and making me go crazy with so much cool stuff! This time is the new Boba Fett Life Size Bust that keeps the level of quality they got us used to. Not so much need for words, just enjoy the pics of the mandalorian.

De tempos a tempos, a Sideshow brinda-nos com esculturas excelentes, fazendo com que fique apanhado da cabeça e meio doido com tanta coisas espectacular! Desta feita é o novo busto à escala real de Boba Fett que mantém o nível de qualidade a que já nos habituaram. Não há grande necessidade de palavras, aproveitem antes as imagens do mandaloriano.

Darth Talon by Sideshow

And once again, a newsletter tip :)
This month is being prophicuous in terms of pleasant news for the Outter Rim, if I might say. I found this character to be my favourite Twi´lek, due to her Sith tattoos, red and black skin, and sexy powerfull pose. About two years ago I started to read the comic "Star Wars: Legacy", and right in the beggining of the tale Talon passes her Master´s test "without flinching". My attention was taken for the years to come.
Know she appears in a magnificent statue from Sideshow Collectibles. Click the image for more pictures. Outstanding!

::::::::

Novamente, uma dica vinda de uma newsletter :) Este tem sido um mês profícuo em termos de agradáveis notícias desde a Orla Exterior, se assim o posso afirmar. Cheguei à conclusão de que esta é a minha personagem Twi´lek favorita, devido às suas tatuagens Sith, à pele vermelha e negra, e à sua poderosa pose sexy. Há cerca de dois anos iniciei a leitura do comic "Star Wars: Legacy", e logo no início do conto Talon passa o teste do seu Mestre "sem pestanejar". Estava conquistada a minha atenção para os anos vindouros. Agora ela surge numa magnífica estátua da Sideshow Collectibles. Cliquem na imagem para mais fotos. Fenomenal!

O importante para o blogue é o saco de papel com o Luke Skywalker. É muito fixe! É de uma pequena loja no Bairro Alto, Lisboa, perto do local onde trabalho. Mas não sei o nome da loja... Talvez mais tarde dê para actualizar o post, quando souber.
