Luckily, you can serve that cake on a beautiful floral patterned Stormtrooper.
I thought it was an April Fool's Day joke...but it's not.

^Yeah, I gotta admit, that's pushing it. For the fan who wants to keep things classy and only has a china cabinet for display?

You could buy an expensive antique china set for the price of that Hot Toys figure to boot!

Probably the result of a meeting of Disney marketing executives who, on a team-building retreat, had a little too much sticky wicky along with a healthy portion of absinthe! LOL! Or, it's their clever way of trying to get your Granny's Social Security check!

I'm waiting for the Jim Shore "quilted" Star Wars statues to show up at a Hallmark near you.

There's been a ton of tacky and questionable SW merchandise over the years. Not even close to the Jar Jar tongue candy on the cringe worthy scale.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

I'm actually kinda surprised it hasn't yet, but give them time. I could easily see Jim Shore versions of both STAR WARS and MARVEL characters, some of which could be kinda cool depending on the patterning. I don't buy a lot of what might considered "cutesy" collectibles, but I will admit to having a few Shore pieces which I enjoy, especially his Halloween (the holiday, not the movies) pieces.sigpic Oh then, what's this?

There's SW toasters, pancake molds, waffle makers, cutting boards, pizza cutters, ice cube trays, mini fridges, oven mitts and on and on.

As a massive Star Wars fan myself, I've tuned out most of that stuff now. The market is saturated now with the most ridiculous items that have the Star Wars name slapped on them. Do I really need Star Wars lightsaber barbeque tongs? All right, I admit, if it was the only such thing on the market I'd probably have snapped it up. But there's just so much stuff out there of this type that I don't find it exciting anymore. LUCASFILM MARKETING, PLEASE STOP OR AT LEAST SLOW DOWN.
Now, I admit it's true we haven't reached Jar Jar tongue candy scale yet, but we're close. The only difference now I think is that most of the goofy kitschy Star Wars items being produced these days are at least somewhat decent quality. It's just that there's too much of it. I think I'll just stick with the vintage stuff.
