Like the Han Solo and Chewbacca / Vader an Leia figures before it, Gentle Giant is giving the vintage R2-D2 figure the jumbo treatment. In this case, it stands at a full 7.5-inches.
It also comes packaged on a 1970s-style Star Wars-inspired blister card featuring original photos and ’12-back’ artwork.

I’m already a fan of the new line of Star Wars Vintage Action Figures, but I need to give an extra special shout out to the new Wave 3.
Any set that has Wicket the Ewok, a kick ass Gamorrean Guard and R2-D2 with the Lightsaber and a Drink Tray on his head is one I’m gonna love.

The Madge Light will provide gleaming retro goodness from a design that resembles a white glue container stuck in a plastic mug from the 1970′s. And to complete the feel of that wonderful decade, you can choose from colors that will make your light look like a green pepper or a tomato. This hanging light has a white ceramic cap, an 11′ cord with a switch and plug, and uses a 25W candelabra bulb.

I have seen handmade matchbook notebooks in the past, but this version is slick and streamlined with tin covers based on vintage matchbooks and a notepad adorned with a matchstick print. It can even be hung on the wall as a piece of functional art. Size: 7-inches tall by 5-inches wide.
