Following the likes of Darth Tater and Artoo-Potatoo etc come "Chipbacca, Mashter Yoda, and C-3PotatO"!

Special Edition Darth Vader 'Silver Kubrick'
Repub
Republic Commando was a 2005 X-Box and PC first person squad based shooter that I myself owned and completed. It was a competent game and expanded the Star Wars Universe just that little bit more and included 4 new specialist Troopers called Delta Squad that became fan favourites. Gentle Giant have finally bowed down to fan pressure and will be releasing "Boss", "Fixer", "Sev" and "Scorch" in limited quantities across the world very soon with Forbiddenplanet.co.uk being the UK's exclusive seller. No word on the pricing just yet but as soon as they're put up online I'm sure Jedi Master Nads will let us know!
