Normally, I like to bring you folks news about toys you can buy soon. This time though, I bring news of a toy you have no chance of ever owning. Why? Because it's a one of a kind, personalized toy, but it's not a custom, it's actually made by the license holder! Behold, the soon-to-be-legendary Jon Stewart Storm Trooper.
Yes, that Jon Stewart, host of the Daily Show and political humorist has been immortalized in plastic by the fine folks at the Lucas/Hasbro camp. The toy was presented to Stewart this past Saturday during an hour-long interview he held with George Lucas himself. The toy depicts Stewart as a 3.75 inch figure in a classic Storm Trooper outfit, with helmet and alternate head featuring his recent goatee. The toy's packaging card is also quite unique as it lists the toy as "Stewart Storm Trooper" and bears the old Kenner logo on it, despite being made by Hasbro.
The toy is one of a kind and was specifically made for Stewart to commemorate the interview. Now all we need to do is drive up Obi Wan to Stewart's house, little wave of the old Jedi hand and a little "you will sell that toy on eBay" and we got ourselves a chance.
