On the way home from work, I swung by Target and checked out the licensed Christmas goodies already stocked on the shelves. If you love Clone Wars, you will love this year’s Star Wars crop o’ stuff. There’s a flat ornament with the Republic sigil and some clonetroopers, two different Clone Wars-themed Christmas stockings, and a blue Clone Wars ball ornament featuring your favorite characters. Usually more stuff appears over the course of the weeks between Halloween and Thanksgiving, so keep an eye out.
You can complete your Star Wars-themed Yuletide decor with Artoo string lights, glass character ornaments from the movies, and a Yoda tree topper. His lightsaber apparently lights up.
Build-A-Bear, the popular mall franchise where you can get a custom bear made, has for sale Star Wars-themed bears. You can get Clone Wars!Anakin, Captain Rex, Darth Vader, generic Jedi, or a cute Star Wars tee/pants set.
Thank you Licensing Dept.!
Hasbro has posted finalists for its diorama contest, where fans can create their own Star Wars scenes with their action figures. There are two PT-themed entries but my favorite is the Sith Reunion one. “We Almost Did It,” heh heh.
If you grew up in the 1970s or 1980s, you probably remember the classic game Trouble. Trouble returns in Star Wars form, or more specifically, in Clone Wars form at a toy store near you. Check out the pictures here.
For those of you who collect Star Wars Hallmark ornaments, the Clone Wars set with Ahsoka and Anakin is finally out in stores. I found a set last week and I was going to post about it, but I’d been fighting a cold lately and didn’t get around to sharing the news.
Topps will release sometime in October a new Widevision card set depicting your favorite scenes from CW’s first season along with the usual chase cards.
What does Obi-Wan wear in the a.m. when he’s making himself some tea and toast? Why, his official Jedi bathrobe! You can pre-order it here.
If you’re looking for something a little more fancy, Sideshow Collectibles is offering for pre-order authentic reproductions of Jedi robes by Museum Replicas. Choose from Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Luke’s style of robe. Yours for only $175-$300, though the Obi-Wan robe has the Flex-Pay option!
