New Wave Toys has returned with a new Kickstarter project, that's looking to raise funds for a pair of new pieces from their RepliTronics line. Both designed to bring some Retro flair to the mundane landscape of charging devices, the RepliTronics USB Charge Machine is a fully-functional, 8.5-inch tall USB charging station built into a miniaturized, vintage arcade Change Machine replica. And the RepliTronics Hotline 16000 mAh Power Bank is a multi-functional, portable power bank built into a replica 1:1 scale, vintage personal cassette player.
There are a number of various funding levels, with the Charge Machine available at the $45.00 level and the Hotline available at the $35.00 funding level. This project will only be funded if it reaches its goal by Tuesday, September 10th 2019 at 2:59AM ET.
As I say with all Kickstarter projects I post about. Remember...this is not a pre-order. There are many instances of crowd funded projects that have been funded never making good on their promised goods. So back all Kickstarters with caution.
In the final chapter of the original Star Wars trilogy, the Rebel Alliance penetrates the forest moon of Endor in order to shut down the deflector shield generator that is protecting the second Death Star. During the mission, Princess Leia is separated from her team and befriends Wicket the Ewok who proves to be great ally for the Rebel Alliance in the dangerous battle of Endor.
And Hot Toys is going to help you relive that moment with a pair of new 1/6th scale Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi collectible figures - Princess Leia in her outfit on Endor and Wicket the Ewok. These figures are available individually or as a set (with some extras).
