Win 1/6 Scale Star Wars Jango Fett and Boba Fett for Father’s Day from Sideshow Collectibles

Sideshow has got a great Star Wars themed giveaway for Father’s Day – you could win 1/6 scale versions of father and son, Jango Fett and Boba Fett. Never mind that Jango is from the Medicom Real Action Heroes line and Boba is from Sideshow (meaning slightly different scales) – this would be a cool contest to win. Enter by June 10.

Now that I’ve ventured into the Dark Side with Star Wars 1/6 with the upcoming premium Darth Vader, Boba Fett is high on my list of bounties. So on second thought, don’t enter, so I can win this for myself! The shadow of greed, that is.

Impulse Buy: Sideshow Collectibles Darth Vader Deluxe Sixth Scale Figure

If you can believe it, I’ve never owned a Star Wars action figure. When I was a kid, most of my friends had the old Kenner figures – one of the figures I coveted most was Darth Vader, with the light saber that you could extract from his arm. And then as an adult, I’ve somehow avoided getting pulled into the Hasbro line that’s been going strong forever. My resistance to the Dark Side has ended – I’ve pre-ordered the deluxe 1/6 scale Darth Vader from Sideshow Collectibles.

Last Day to Enter Sideshow Darth Vader Deluxe Sixth Scale Figure Giveaway

Sideshow Collectibles is holding a giveaway for its upcoming Darth Vader premium 1/6 scale figure. Vader will go up for pre-order tomorrow, but the contest entry period closes today.

I have not been able to access the Darth Vader photo gallery and pre-order info on the Sideshow Experience blog (the site throws an error) but people who have are saying the figure is expected in January 2014 and will be priced around $250. With the removable helmet and lights on the figure and base, I think this may be the one that brings me over to the Dark Side of 1/6 scale Star Wars figures.

In Honor of Mother’s Day – the Top Three Moms Who Deserve Action Figures

It was a slow day for AFP yesterday, as I was on the road taking my wife and her mom to Las Vegas as a little Mother’s Day celebration. As we were sitting at the gate waiting to board the plane, I thought about action figures of mothers. And came up with one. Pamela Voorhees, from Friday the 13th, was the only one I could recall. And actually, there were at least two made of her. In 2005, NECA came out with deluxe set for the movie’s 25th anniversary, with Jason and his dear old mom (pictured above, courtesy of BigBadToyStore). Sideshow made a 1/6 scale version – see Michael Crawford’s review of Pamela Voorhees.

So, what other mothers deserve action figures? Before getting called to board the plane, I came up with three.

May the Fourth Be With You – Win a Set of Deluxe Clone Troopers from Sideshow Collectibles

When I posted the Sideshow giveaway for Jabba’s throne room, I somehow missed that they would also be giving away a full set of their deluxe Clone Troopers for Star Wars Day.

And that’s not all – on their special May the Fourth landing page for Star Wars Day they’ve also revealed their upcoming deluxe Darth Vader 1/6 scale figure – before today, the page had shown only a mysterious shrouded silhouette. Darth Vader will be opened up for pre-orders on May 23 this month.
