I missed that one as well

I love the 1/2 Darth Maul they did too

Yeah, this was a good one. SS usually comes up with some pretty decent ones.

i made a custom 12in figure of this actually. anybody wanna buy it? ill give you a deal of $175 shipped.

Nice, never knew about this one was before my collecting days.

I remember this one as well. They posted this , then the week afterwards the true Obi-Wan p.f. was announced.

Only if your kid has cancer.

I never saw that either. Very funny.

Yeah, I remember that one. Hilarious.

Sadly, I could almost say it would be a cool thing to have. I probably would buy it.

I'd buy it to go with a Vader if it had some kind of stand designed to keep the robe properly hanging like it was falling.

They got me with that dang Star Wars bird last year.

That's almost believable. I wonder how many people REALLY fell for it. I like the Ex version of Luke voice chip crying out.

I remember seeing that, but never saw the second page with sound chip... thats hilarious

The half a maul was frakking hilarious. I remember reading that, forgetting what day it was, and just scratching my head.

This is hilarious!!

I think the 3 Star Wars jokes are all funny in their own way. The ghost Obi-Wan was a bit too obvious. The Maul one actually had me going a bit because the line was new and there was no telling what they'd do in it, I didn't think they'd just sell half of him but I was thinking a BD figure which had me bummed because I wanted a regular full Maul, and the extras division of the 1/6 line actually seemed possibly legit but for the flaming purple logo.

This one had to be the best ever, because there was some kind of "tacular" going on , and I remember being in chat with the Sideshow folks and they were really trying to push this one off as real. Brant (I think) pretending to leave all offended that we didn't think it was a great product. Funny as hell.

What was the 2007 one?
