Eagle eyed readers might have noticed a very cool new collectible from Diamond Select Toys in the Big Bad Toy Store post below, and it proves that it is always a good idea to click into the Sponsor Announcements you see here. We knew you'd want a closer look, so now all you have to do is click the thumbnail above to check out the full-sized image of the upcoming Jawa Ultimate Quarter Scale Bank. This 9" tall vinyl scavenger will be out in October, and as you would expect we do encourage buying many to build you very own Jawa Force.

Despite continued requests from collectors, Hasbro resisted releasing the Bespin Cloud Car for many years. That was until 2010, when it featured in the first wave of vehicles in the "Shadows of the Dark Side" packaging, and you can check out the latest addition to The Vintage Collection section of our Photo Archive.

Another subculture that is equally passionate as Star Wars collectors is known as Reborners and their passion leads them to take production dolls and recreate them to be as lifelike as possible. Often times, the results are quite creepy, but there is no arguing that the craft is phenomenal. Especially when it crossed over to Star Wars. Follow this link to check artist Angélique G's Reborn Maître Yoda doll.

Probe
Droid
Poll
What if Hasbro were to offer a new line of larger scale figures that put a focus on screen accuracy? The Probe Droid is curious if you'd walk away from the 3 3/4" line in favour of something new that catered more to adult collectors.
I'd be willing to start from scratch.
I'd be into it only if they were super articulated.
I'd only be into it if sculpt and silhouette were the main focus.
I might get a few, but I don't think I'm ready to start something new.
I'm only interested in 3 3/4" figures.
I don't collect the Hasbro stuff.
