Star Wars Chubbies are set to be the next in thing for Star Wars collectors everywhere. They are cartoony looking plastic dolls a bit like the Russian dolls that open up to reveal a smaller version each time. There are currently six in the collection: Obi-Wan Kenobe, Darth Vader, Wookiees, Sith, General Grievous and C-3PO. Each doll opens up to reveal the evolution of the character in the form of two smaller figures – quite a cool idea really!

Apparently, many people take their chubbies to work and sit them on their desks, I’ve also heard that they can be quite distracting enticing you to open them and close them all the time. Anyway if you need some friends in your office then these chubbies could be for you!

Available at Firebox for £7.95 (Darth Vader £9.95).

The KHR-2HV, the second generation humanoid robot kit from Kondo has just been upgraded to the A-621 GENEX suit to give it a bit more style. Many commented that the KHR-2HV wasn’t exactly the best looking robot the world has seen and to be honest looked more like it had been made out of leftover metal pieces from a scrap yard!

Kondo’s also supplying a range of soccer uniforms that will be sold separately and are expected to cost about $10. The suit will cost around $152 (approx. £75) and will be launched in Japan in the next few weeks.

DC Comics Ultra Blast Batman is only $9.99 reduced from $39.99 at Amazon – what a bargain! At 15 inches tall he is the largest Batman figure to date and the toy is extremely realistic.

The Ultra-Blaster can shoot the projectiles over 20 feet but they are soft and foamy so they are safe for children to play with. For even more fun, the back of the box has targets so you can practice your aiming. The best place to practice is probably in our garden, that way you have some open space for Batman to blast his projectiles.

The figure comes fully dressed in his grey suit with a black cape and black Batman mask. The Ultra-Blaster gun is quite large and comes with three blaster compartments. See Amazon.com.
