More Stuff From Jedi Master Nads...

Another e-mail came in from Jedi Master Nads yesterday with a bunch of interesting stuff including his beloved Star Wars ;)


The Ladies of the ISO (Imperial Service Organisation)

Over at Starwars.com, as part of their week long tribute to the ladies who make Star Wars the phenomenon that it is, we have a piece on the ladies of the 'ISO' or Imperial Service Organisation who voluntarily support the charitable 501st Legion boys and even the real soldiers fighting overseas. You can read all about them and their contribution to the Lucas world HERE.



R2-D2 in Transformers II: Revenge Of The Fallen!


It would seem that there's an ongoing conspiracy between the special effects guru's from ILM making sci-fi films... The beloved Star Wars astromech droid 'R2-D2' seems to pop up in the background of all the new movies. In Star Trek he appeared as space debris after Nero's ship destroys the fleet and now he's appeared in Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen as a piece of space junk in the desert! Check out a link to the VH1 'blink and you'll miss it' list HERE which gives you some more easter eggs and cameos that'll make you want to watch it all over again... as if you didn't want to already!


Twi-Lek Twins And Princess Artwork Prints


StarWarsShop.com has a new exclusive artwork print available for $49.99 which has been created by artist Craig Drake and depicts two Twi-Lek women, 'The Twins', in skimpy outfits. A simple and beautiful piece, you can find it HERE
The previous release 'The Princess' is now sold out so you can imagine how popular these prints are!

New Street Fighter Figures From Neca


Top action figure manufacturer NECA will soon be releasing some awesome new figures based on the Street Fighter 4 video game. In this new wave 2 we see Akuma, Chun-Li and Guile each featuring a massive 31 - 35 points of articulation for you to pose them any way you want. Series 1 did extremely well with Ryu, Ken and Crimson Viper and this second wave looks just as good. I'll definitely have to get Chun-Li and Guile for my collection!
