Reported by Rebelscum, Diamond Select Toys will offer a limited-edition variant of their 9-inch Boba Fett vinyl bust bank. While the regular release utilizes Fett's color scheme from "Return of the Jedi," this exclusive edition features paint apps based on Fett's appearance in "The Empire Strikes Back." The bank will be limited to 250 pieces, and at only $20 it will likely move as fast as R2-R9 did at San Diego Comic-Con, so make the Kessel Run to booth 632 as soon as you arrive!
Welcome to the "Unofficial" MADBROWNZ blog for Celebration VI. Unlike most blog or websites, the focus of this site will be on Vintage Star Wars toys. From 12 Backs to retro 12" Gentle Giant figures, I want to provide a unique perspective on the Original toys. Updates will be posted before and during Celebration VI, to include information on different Party's or Events, Interviews with different Collectors and insight on the different Collector panels that I have attended.
