First obligatory Star Wars post of the new year






These have been around for a while now but still worth checking out. Produced by Yoshitoku, a 300 year old Japanese doll company, they were made in a very limited run and show the inspiration originally taken from ancient Japanese Samurai for the design of Darth Vader's helmet.
For extra geek points see the Galactic Empire logo found on the front of Vader's helmet and on the flags either side of the Stormtrooper set. Also note the Death Star and TIE Fighters found on the traditional wave background.
