The Exclusive Collectibles Coming To Star Wars Celebration
Star Wars Celebration kicks off in a couple of weeks in Anaheim, CA, and we'll be in attendance to get our first look at DICE's Star Wars: Battlefront, and hopefully new footage from J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The show, which is expected to welcome over 50,000 Star Wars fans this year, is also a great place for collectors to empty their pocket books. Most toy and collectible manufacturers release exclusive items that can only be purchased for a limited time, usually at the show or online during the show days.
Over the next couple of weeks, we're rounding up all of the exclusive collectible announcements for the show. Here's what has been announced so far:
Kotobukiya's R3-A2 & K-3PO
Kotobukiya is releasing an ARTFX two-pack featuring R3-A2 & K-3PO. No pricing details have been given yet, but this item will be extremely limited and is only being produced once. Pre-orders for non-show attendees go on sale tomorrow 10 a.m. PT on Kotobukiya's website.
Funko's Pop Star Wars
We hope collectors are bringing extra luggage to the convention. Funko is releasing five different vinyl Bobblehead figures exclusively at the show. The figures are of an unmasked Darth Vader, R2-Q5, a red shock trooper, R2-R9, and E-3PO.
Hot Toys' Spacetrooper
Designed to function in zero-g environments, the spacetrooper design was first seen in Star Wars: A New Hope. Hot Toys is adding this stormtrooper variation to its 1/6 scale line of collectible figures. This item is exclusive to Star Wars Celebration, but Hot Toys does say that fans should keep an out for preorders from local distributors.
Funko's Super Shogun Boba Fett and Shadowtrooper
Funko and Super 7 are teaming up to bring two Super Shogun figures to Star Wars Celebration. Boba Fett and the shadowtrooper stand in at 24" in height, have wheeled feet, and a "left fist launcher." Boba Fett's rocket also fires.
