Sideshow 12inch Darth Vader in Episode IV "A New Hope"
(wiki & starwars.com)
Sideshow finally did a decent job on their 12inch Star Wars series, the new Darth Vader look menacing and really imposing as a sith lord. The joints on the body is firm and tight. If you are going to compare it to the medicom version, it's like father and son.

Am now waiting for my SS stormtroopers to go along side with this man.
Darth Vader is the central antagonist in George Lucas' first three Star Wars films and Revenge of the Sith, voiced by James Earl Jones and portrayed physically by David Prowse in the original Star Wars trilogy and Hayden Christensen in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Vader is one of the most iconic villains, and was listed as the third greatest movie villain on the American Film Institute list "AFI's 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains"
The original trilogy depicts Darth Vader as a fearsome cyborg and Sith Lord who serves at the right hand of Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), leading the brutal Galactic Empire as supreme commander, in oppressing the galaxy and hunting down the Rebel Alliance. The prequel trilogy depicts him as Anakin Skywalker, a slave boy who becomes a heroic Jedi Knight and hero of the Clone Wars.

He then falls to the "dark side" of the mystical Force after Palpatine manipulates him into betraying the Jedi and destroying the Galactic Republic.
In Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, the series' final chronological installment, Vader redeems himself by killing Emperor Palpatine and saving his son Luke's life, sacrificing himself in the process. He is later seen at the party on Endor as Anakin.

Enterbay 12inch Bruce Lee is KATO (Green Hornet)

Set to be released on June 25th, 2010, the film is to star Seth Rogen, who will take on writing duties along with Superbad co-writer Evan Goldberg. Stephen Chow had originally signed on to play Kato, but then dropped out.

Stephen Chow had originally signed on to play Kato, but then dropped out.
Due to creative differences, Chow is not going to direct. According to the Associated Press and WENN[clarification needed], Chow wanted to direct a superhero spoof with Jack Black in the lead role. It has been announced that Columbia Pictures is in talks with Michel Gondry to direct the film.
The Green Hornet's success in Hong Kong, where it was popularly known as The Kato Show, led to Lee starring in the feature films that would make him a pop culture icon.
Here's my HD video on youtube
Kato was Britt Reid's valet, who doubled as The Green Hornet's unnamed, masked driver and sidekick to help him in his vigilante adventures, disguised as the activities of a racketeer and his chauffeur/bodyguard/enforcer.
According to the storyline, years before the events depicted in the series, Britt Reid had saved Kato's life while travelling in the Far East. Depending on the version of the story, this prompted Kato to become Reid's assistant or friend.

(5 July 09) Toy Carnival @ SAM Photos
Frankly speaking, this is not my first visit to the Singapore Art Museum, but the sunday crowd was madness...both levels of the glass hall and auditorium were packed like canned sardines...
Overall it's a fantastic homely gathering. Met and catchup with a lot of new. old, famous and long lost friends all in a day!! (it's like a Chinese New Year Reunion dinner hahaha)
Singapore toys collectors needs more of these event! It's never enough.
level 1 (glass hall) it's so jammed even the kamen riders can't get in~~!!hahaha
level 2 auditorium
if it's not the late rain around 4pm++ i think it will be more crowded due to the last minute price slashing war and everything must go kinda madness.
Some photos highlights below:
This custom made "Cylons" suit is damn sweet...moving lights and very loud sound!!! damn realistic~~
