TOYS Chubby Star Wars Matryoshka Series 2 - Shipping

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Back in the summer of 2007, Hot Toys of Hong Kong released the Chubby Star Wars Matryoshka Series 1 and captured the hearts of Star Wars fans across the globe. Since success begets success, Hot Toys releases a new set of toys dubbed the Chubby Star Wars Matryoshka Series 2. If successful, NCS expects a third Chubby Star Wars series in short order.

Hailing from Mother Russia, matryoshka are better known as nesting dolls in the West which consist of a large figurine which cracks open to contain a smaller doll which in turn cracks open to contain an even smaller doll. The Star Wars matryoshki keeps the diminishing scale simple at three dolls although it's not uncommon for some nesting dolls to hold 6-8 figures. The characters featured in Chubby Series 2 are as follows:

» Stormtrooper/Clone Troopers [Jan Code: 4897011171791]
An Imperial Stormtrooper serves as the largest figure followed by two Republic Clone Troopers. Each trooper carries an armament across its chest and peers into the world with solemn soulless eyes.

» Jango Fett/Boba Fett [Jan Code: 4897011171807]
Since Jango is the father figure, he's the primary nesting doll which houses a Boba Fett figure in full armor with blaster rifle followed by a Boba Fett as a child. Even as a kid, Boba had trouble written all over his face.

» Luke Skywalker [Jan Code: 4897011171814]
In the Star Wars movies, viewers watched Luke grow from punk kid to mighty Jedi master. Luke's Chubby turn features his Jedi incarnation as the lead followed by Luke in Bespin uniform and Luke as a lad on Tatooine.

» Princess Leia [Jan Code: 4897011171838]
Leia with the duo-donuts hairstyle is missing from this trio but you'll have to be content with Leia as Boushh the Bounty Hunter, Leia from her experience on Endor, and Leia when she was a guest of Jabba the Hut.

Preorders for the Chubby Star Wars Series 2 figures listed above have begun shipping as of yesterday. There are two more figures which haven't arrived yet (Starfighter Pilots and Ewoks) but they're expected soon.
