Hell, you can probably get a 1:1 Slave Leia in your house if you live by SDCC and have a couchsurfing account set up.

No thanks. She's all yours.

*Quality of Slave Leia will vary wildly.

So Chux was able to make one of the Star Wars weekends.

I have further bad news for Dolemite's net worth: 1/6 scale Hot Toys Boba Fett.

This has just been officially announced for the end of 2015. However, this Boba Fett is in 1/4 scale (18 inches, way bigger than I usually collect in before dick jokes) and probably costs a million dollars, so there's no way I'm getting it.

Looks spiffy, though.

MASK is coming back. I have a fair number of the original ones, but honestly I wish I would have spent my relatives' money on more Star Wars, G.I. Joe, and/or Transformers instead when I was a kid.

I always used the vehicles when pretending james bond.

They put out that MASK guy in the GI Joe toyline a few years back, cool that they're going full-on.

[Yoshi]

I forgot about that. The novelty was cool.

Yeah, MASK was pretty second-rate compared to Joe or or SW stuff, but the idea behind it was a lot fun. I used to like the cartoon way more than I liked the toys, however...I was GI Joe all the way, nigga.

Although, after reading that link, it seems that Hasbro just filed a new trademark on the brand (which they do a lot), and hasn't actually announced anything. So, we'll see what comes of this, but modern versions of MASK stuff ala the GI Joe Trakker figure that Yeller posted would be cool, especially considering the fact that the old toys were pretty much garbage. For example:
