Invaders From Mars (1986) – Donation Bonus
In 1986 the director of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Poltergeist teamed up with the screenwriter of Alien and Return of the Living Dead to make a…children’s sci-fi film! That project was Invaders from Mars, a remake of the ’50s red scare movie of the same name. Do the creatures by Star Wars’ Stan Winston and John Dykstra upgrade this film for the ’80s, or is this film just a bad dream?

Pre-Order Alert: Hot Toys Yoda from Empire Strikes Back
If want him you do. Pre-order you must.
In the history of Star Wars Action News there have been a number of hot high-end collectibles. But in my over 10 years of collecting reports, I’ve never received as many text messages, tweets, emails, and Facebook messages as I have about Hot Toys’ newest sixth scale Movie Masterpiece Series figure — Yoda.
There’s no doubt that Sideshow is producing the most screen accurate Star Wars figures ever made. With Yoda’s popularity, and the high secondary market cost for many of the earlier Hot Toys figures, it’s obvious collectors don’t want to miss out on adding this Jedi Master to their collection.
So given the anticipation, I’d say hurry as the Hot Toys Yoda is up for pre-order now!
The highly-accurate collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Yoda in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back. It features two newly developed head sculpts, specially developed body, finely tailored costume, a range of detailed accessories including a cane, crate container, small lamp, LED-light up power unit, and Dagobah diorama figure base with rocks.
Check out the full photo gallery below, and get your order in now!
