EFX Collectibles, Kotobukiya, Gentle Giant Ltd, Tamashii Nations, and Sideshow Collectibles were all in attendance this year at the Collectibles Update panel. Let's get to it! The panel was moderated by Lucasfilm's "Hard-Line" Licensing Team member Anita Castellar.

Anita was quick to point out that there wouldn't be anything discussed regarding The Force Awakens.

EFX Collectibles

- Imperial Guard Helmet. Cast from a screen-used helmet.
- Legend Helmet Stands. Again, casted from screen-used props. Includes Boba Fett, Vader, and more.
- More Studio Scale Models coming our way, including the Millennium Falcon, AT-ST, Y-Wing, TIE Bomber, and Probe Droid.
- Adding to last year's life-sized Yoda puppet, they've managed to source some additional parts to make this even more accurate. The video they showed of their puppet giving some Empire Strikes Back dialogue was incredible.
- A New Hope life-sized R2-D2. Rolls around, lights up, and was generally terrific.

Q&A

Q: For GG, as you get through the vintage jumbo, will you jumbo-ize other SW figures from the past?
A: Not sure. Want to address the entire Kenner line first. We will see what the future holds.

Q: For Sideshow, the McQ sixth scale line to include Boba Fett and statues?
A: Yes!

Q: For EFX, will we see any Obi-Wan reveal lightsabers or blasters?
A: Lightsabers, yes. Blasters and guns are problematic for importing.

Q: Tamashii, how about Chewie and Han as samurai?
A: Yes, likely - how about a Chewbacca Japanese Yeti?
