News from Lik Sang (http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3441&lsaid=219793) [br][br] No movie series has more merchandise than Star Wars, and having spanned so many generations, be you child, teenager or adult, chances are you know what happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. It's in that way that no matter what age, Star Wars toys can appeal to so many people, whether they play with them, display them, or obsessively keep them un-opened, waiting for the time to come when the mint condition figures bring them big bucks, and then go absolutely nuts at their parents one day when they sell them for 50 cents at some flee market thinking I never played with them, and... ahem... anyways, here's the Star Wars figures now in stock...[br][br]First we have the classic Chewbacca from the original trilogy. The 10.5 cm (4.1") figure is fully poseable, and comes with both a bowcaster and heavy blaster rifle. Chewy sells for only US$ 1.95! Then from the Star Wars: Power of the Force range, the large Obi-Wan Kenobi figure is 30cm (11.7") tall, also fully poseable, and comes with real fabric clothing. Wielding his glow in the dark lightsaber, Obi-Wan comes prepared to battle with the full Jedi training gear, including the blinding helmet and training sphere.[br][br]In the same size, Ponda Baba has flexible articulations, actual fabric clothing, and comes complete with his blaster. This package features impressive attention to detail, not just in the sculpting of the figure, but in that it also includes a removable arm, useful after re-enacting his confrontation with Luke Skywalker. Obi-Wan is US$ 9.95, while Ponda Baba goes for US$ 4.95.[br][br]Star Wars Chewbacca US$ 1.95[br] The Power Of The Force Figures Obi-Wan KenobiUS$ 9.95[br] The Power Of The Force Figures Ponda Baba US$ 4.95[br][br]From the Attack of the Clones series, we've got Padmé Amidala, Taun We, and Jar Jar Binks, each around 9cm (3.5") tall, each fully poseable, and each going for the fantastic price of US$ 1.95 each. Padmé comes disguised as a Naboo pilot, the perfect escape outfit as her Cruiser is being blown apart. Along with the figure and a pilot's helmet, a large radar dish which can be 'blown up' at the press of a button is here, and Amidala herself has a quick draw button to swiftly raise her weapon.[br][br]Taun We, aide to the Prime Minister of Kamino, is modeled along with her Clone Chamber, as seen before she introduces Obi-Wan Kenobi to the clone host Jango Fett. Then Jar Jar Binks as a Senate representative from Naboo is wearing his Gungan outfit, and comes with an Electropole and Electroshock rope that can be wrapped around the pole, or for that matter, enemies too.[br][br]Star Wars Attack of the Clones Padmé Amidala US$ 1.95[br] Star Wars Attack of the Clones Taun We US$ 1.95[br] Star Wars Attack of the Clones Jar Jar Binks US$ 1.95[br][br]Finally, right up there with Star Wars in the few truly big name movies, Terminator 2 has some figures we just couldn't pass up mentioning. In the very latest Japanese fashion, these are T2 cubic figures, each 6.4cm (2.5") tall. The T-800, T-1000, and a Terminator Endoskeleton are included, along with a motorcycle in the same scale, and three different 'liquid metal' arms. All this is contained inside a polished black tin "T2" box, and sells for US$ 12.95. [br][br]More Info at Lik Sang (http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3441&lsaid=219793)
