SDCC 2012: Kotobukiya booth tour - Star Wars edition

For those of you who are avid collectors of both chopsticks and Star Wars memorabilia, you'll be thrilled to find that Kotobukiya has perfectly catered to this strange combination of interests. On display (held up by grotesque mechanical hands, I might add) were all sorts of lightsaber chopsticks, including a pair that lights up through LEDs. Those are definitely the primo chopsticks.

As for the more dreary business of figures, the ArtFX+ line has a few showpieces. We saw Yoda from The Empire Strikes Back, calmly levitating a rock and thankfully not doing any of that high flying acrobatic nonsense. There's also the Alec Guinness version of Obi-Wan Kenobi, whose statue kind of looks like Big Boss now that I think about it.

An unpainted Jango Fett prototype was on display, set for a 2nd quarter 2013 release for US$49.99. My favorite of the lot is the Jaina Solo Bishoujo, featuring a surprisingly modest design from Shunya Yamashita and an absolutely cuddly face.

Oh, and if you must have your ice cubes shaped like an astromech droid, Koto's got you covered.
