Time To Catch Up On Japanese Star Wars Collectibles!

Our idea? No way. Last week StarWars.com released an article on Japanese Star Wars crane game prizes. Many/most of them have already been acquired for the collection. There were, however, a couple of them that not only haven't been sought and bought, but weren't even on our collecting radar!

Searching eBay.com turned up nothing. Searching auctions.yahoo.co.jp (a GREAT place to research Japanese collectibles) also yielded no worthwhile results for these crane game items. Then WE FOUND THEM. And more.

The items we went looking for were the lightsaber television remote and the lightsaber coin holders. What we also found (and didn't know existed) were two more lightsaber fans, and four wall hangings! -plus a U.S. Christmas nutcracker that has been completely overlooked.

Best of all, all of these items were found at a website we're already familiar with: Hollywood Heroes!

While we were looking around, we also 'discovered' another Kurt S. Adler nut cracker from Christmas 2007 - R2-D2!

Below are the ordering links for each of the items, plus a couple of others we thought might be of interest. Click on any image to be taken to it's HollywoodHeroes.com ordering page.

Most television remote controls are rectangular and flattish. Taito diverges from standard design conventions and shapes their remote control into a light saber which measures 20cm or 7.87" in length. The general controls found on a regular remote are featured on the saber: channel selection (up and down), volume (up and down), and an on/off switch located near the base. Two styles are on offer, a standard lightsaber with off-white color and a black/off-white variant.

Remember the first time you looked up at the silver screen and found yourself daunted by the imposing presence of Darth Vader? All black and glossy and looking like the Grim Reaper himself. If you've ever fantasized about impersonating the Sith Lord, Taito's upcoming Darth Vader Mask & Clothing might do the job. The set includes an accurate representation of Darth's mask (30cm) and a polyester apron which features an artwork gearbox in the chest area. All that remains to complete the ensemble is a cape and a lightsaber.
