Code 3 Sculpted Posters
Pre-Production photos: changes will be made to coloration before production.
EDITOR'S NOTE: AIN'T THESE PURTY?!
The artisans at Code 3 Collectibles, who have been impressing fans with their extremely accurate die-cast replica Star Wars vehicles, have now turned their talents toward the imagery that has most profoundly inspired the spirit of the saga.
The iconic poster art for Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi have all been rendered three-dimensionally for the first time, capturing the heroes and villains of the original trilogy in exquisite detail.
Tom Jung's idealized portraits of Luke and Leia are brought to life in the Star Wars Style "A" edition, with Vader's helmet, two droids, and X-wings all emerging from the background in a way that remains true to the original. Roger Kastel's Empire Strikes Back artwork, dubbed the "Gone With the Wind" style, captures Han and Leia's swoon and the frigid Hoth environment in chilling detail. Finally, Return of the Jedi's Style "A" artwork by Tim Reamer gracefully sums up the original trilogy in a poetic symbol, the raised Jedi lightsaber before a diminutive Endor and Death Star.
These hand painted cold cast resin sculptures are among the first in a series of three-dimensional movie poster artwork that Code 3 is launching, with the possibility of more Star Wars editions to come. Each cast is showcased within an artistic frame-like edge, with overall dimensions measuring 10.5" x 8" x 1.5".
Enjoy an added dimension to these iconic standards by getting your sculpted Star Wars posters from StarWarsShop.com today.
Get Between These Star Wars Sheets
Some of the, ahem, warmest memories first generation Star Wars fans have are sleeping between Star Wars bed sheets back during the years of the original trilogy. Recently, many of these vintage linens have been brought out of hiding to enjoy new status as the haute couture of dorm room decoration. EDITOR'S NOTE: YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT, HONEY, BUT YOU ARE SLEEPING ALONE, RIGHT?!
But there's no need to dig out those ratty old sheets anymore -- Dan River has produced a new line of comforters, drapes, pillows, and more to make any room lay back with some Star Wars cool.
Designed with three major themes -- Dark Side, Galactic Heroes, and Lightsaber Duel -- each set will feature twin or full sheets, comforters, and bed skirts, with coordinating pillowcases, shams, drapes, valances, and snuggle pillow. EDITOR'S NOTE: PERFECT. A 'SNUGGLE' PILLOW. HELPS WITH THOSE LONELY NIGHTS.....
The colorful hues of the Dark Side design are easily able to rouse sleep from tired bones. The Star Wars Heroes design allows you to crash on virtual pop art. And the Jedi-themed Lightsaber Duel will surround, penetrate, and bind your bedroom together with its Forcefully-inspired set of blue and gold patterns. EDITOR'S NOTE: SOMEONE WRITING THIS PROMO COPY IS TRYING TO HURT US.
Dan River's new assortment of artful bedroom linens are truly a sight to behold, or, in the case of the snuggle pillow, be held.
EDITOR'S NOTE: CHECK OUT HOW MUCH COOLER THIS VINTAGE STUFF IS, THOUGH -
Note it says you can check Toysrusinc.com for a list of stores, but that page doesn't appear to be on-line yet. (Since many ask, this the midnight late April 1 as it changes to April 2.)
