Supersweet!!!

Remember back in the day when the first Star Wars movie came out and you couldn't believe your eyes? You had never seen anything like it before. It was a little scary, but exhilirating to watch. And then came the merchandise. Little, three-and-a-half inch figures in clear, molded plastic shells attached to informational cards with pictures from the movie on the front and pictures of the other toys on the back, so you could decide what you wanted to get next. All the ships, troop transporters, and battlescapes that realistically recreated scenes from the movie. I had it all, and it was all sold at yard sales for pennies to kids who wouldn't appreciate it nearly as much as I had. Well, now I can recreate that feeling of joy that I had back then with this Limited Ed., not for retail sale, carded Sandtrooper Kubrick by Medicom that Julian has over at Why Workshop:



I'm sure they will be ridiculously expensive. The carded Luke Skywalker Kubrick is selling for seventy-five dollars US on e-bay, the carded R2-D2 Kubrick from the hit TV series "Droids" goes for over a hundred bucks US, and if you can find it, the carded Boba Fett Kubrick is going for anywhere from a hundred to four hundred dollars US, damn. That giddy, child-like feeling of anticipation fades quickly when faced with those kinds of prices.
