Star Wars Vader and Son and Vader’s Little Princess Figurines

Posted on 07/03/2014 by Craziest Gadgets Jeff

One of the coolest books we’ve ever covered here on the big gadget blog is Vader and Son, chronicling Darth Vader’s adventures in fatherhood. Now the author of the book has licensed a maquette (small statue) featuring a scene from the book. This one shows little Luke Skywalker giving his Dad an (in)appropriate gift of a tie. Just what a Sith Lord needs- no need to do a Force choke when you could just pull the tie super tight. There’s also a statuette from his other book- Vader’s Little Princess.

Ahh look at little Princess Leia- she’s cut hearts into Darth’s cape. Each 10″ tall figurine is made of cold-cast polystone and is available in a limited edition of just 1500. Each also comes with a special edition of the matching book featuring unreleased concept sketches from the author Jeffrey Brown. Really cool little collectable for the Star Wars Dad out there.

Darth Vader and Son & Vader’s Little Princess Figurines: The Children Strike Back

Posted on 20/01/2014 by Lambert Varias

Jeffrey Brown’s Darth Vader and Son and Vader’s Little Princess might be the cutest Star Wars retcon ever. The books feature a caring Anakin looking after Luke and Leia. Gentle Giant Ltd. is going to release a limited edition bundle of the two books, which will include adorable figurines of the Skywalkers.

The Darth Vader and Son sculpture depicts Anakin getting a Rebel Alliance necktie from Luke. It’s not like the Sith would have merch anyway.

The Vader’s Little Princess sculpture sees Leia make heart cutouts out of her dad’s cape.

The bundles will also come with copies of Brown’s sketches plus a full-color illustration printed on board. You can pre-order the bundles right now from Gentle Giant. Both the Darth Vader and his Son bundle and the Vader’s Little Princess bundles cost $150 (USD) each, but you can also get both in one set for $280.

Is your cat ready to use the Force? Check out this awesome new collection of Star Wars Cat Toys at Petco. There’s everything your cat needs to become a Jedi.

Love the details on these Stormtrooper and Darth Vader Mouse Toys (also available in Yoda/Chewbacca) with the helmets and body armor. Both have long string tails that will exercise your cat as it pounces and paws at these mouse toys. Don’t worry, we didn’t forget about the droids!

Thee are the droids your cat is looking for. The R2-D2 and C3PO Ball Cat Toys come packed together with a third mylar ball too. The balls have colorful feathers and a rattle inside to kitty stimulated (because boredom leads to hate, hate leads to the Dark Side- or something like that). But your cat is a princess and not a Jedi, you say? How about this collar:

The Princess Leia Cat Collar has both the Star Wars and Rebel Alliance logos and a D-ring to hold your cat’s tags. It makes for one pretty kitty.

Slave Padme Action Figure: Leia’s Mother Dresses Like Her Daughter

Posted on 12/04/2013 by Conner Flynn

Man I hated the prequels, but they had one thing going for them. Padmé Amidala was easy on the eyes – even if we didn’t get to see her in a scantily clad slave outfit like Princess Leia. But thanks to JVcustoms we now know what this would have looked like.

That’s right, it looks a lot like Leia’s body with Padme’s head. Because that is how this custom action figure was made.

This is all we really needed in the prequels. More of this please, and less Jar Jar. I have needs and one of them is to see sexy women chained to a giant slug. I don’t need to see some whiny kid slammed into his mother’s womb by midi-f-ing-chlorians. Only to crawl out and whine that he’s a slave, then do all kinds of stupid stuff to become the bad guy. There is no way that wimpy ass whiny little turd became Darth Vader. No way. Ok, I’m gonna stop now and just enjoy this figure. Clearly, I’m still working through some issues.

Carrie Fisher Says She Will Be Returning in Star Wars: Episode 7

Posted on 06/03/2013 by Shane McGlaun

Carrie Fisher recently conducted an interview with a publication called Palm Beach Illustrated. During that interview, she was asked if she would be returning to Star Wars: Episode 7 as Luke Skywalker’s sister. All Fisher had to say about the question was, “Yes.”

Images: LucasFilm/Palm Beach Journal

That is some seriously good news for fans of the Star Wars franchise. Previous rumors have already tipped that Harrison Ford has signed on to reprise his role as Han Solo. Disney hasn’t offered details about the plot for the coming film at this point, but rumors continue to claim the movie will focus on the children of Han and Leia.

Fisher did go on to answer a couple of other Leia questions with her usual wit:

What do you think Princess Leia is like today?

“Elderly. She’s in an intergalactic old folks’ home [laughs]. I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle.”

And still wearing the bagel buns?

“The bagel buns and the bikini, because probably she has sundowners syndrome. At sundown, she thinks that she’s 20-something. And she puts it on and gets institutionalized.”

The only character from the original trio that hasn’t been confirmed to be returning is Mark Hamill. I would love to see Luke Skywalker return for the next film in the franchise. I’m willing to bet Fisher won’t be returning to her golden bikini though, having have aged and changed significantly since she wore it in Return of the Jedi.
