Title: Diamond Toys
Post by: Phatty on June 12, 2008, 12:29:16 PM: Earlier this year, we saw images of 12" and 18" figures with electronic features coming out sometime this year. They looked pretty nice, but I haven't heard of anything about them since. Anyone else hear anything lately?

Take a look folks, Diamond Select Toys answered a question I had about TESB armored forms. They even sent me a free gift for submitting a question! I wish hasbro would do that. Looks like we had better get ready to decide if we will collect DST TESB armored forms! Whooppeeee.

Think they call em mini mates. Kinda looks like a Kubric, but sure was nice of em to send me something for them answering one of my questions.

Post by: Tamer on December 14, 2008, 07:00:59 PM: I thought so too. Go ask some of your burning Star Wars questions over at art asylum. I might have to get the TESB armored forms if they ever make em. I think the Hoth Han they picture doesn't look horrible. I don't think it is SS qaulity, but it is kinda like a larger action figure with cool items and electronics from what I have seen so far.

That Mos Eisley Han is looking good even though it is probably not the final product. I still don't think anyone can get Mark Hammil's look quite right even though I think it looks good.

I don't know how much coverage I will get up today Yarders, but I will see what I can do! If you post shots please make sure you give credit to the site the info came from!
