I'm incredibly excited to announce that Fredrin who runs the awesome manga site Mega Tokyo has after long negotiations decided to pay myself and Lucasfilm for the rights to make a stormtrooper oppai mousepad! The product is called "DannyChoo - Sto...

A short video that my wife n I threw together to show how I put on Stormtrooper armor. For those who cant see the vid, get along to youtube.com/watch?v=TA2zd7aBPlA to watch it. Just a quick note to say that any video you embed in member news is...

YouTube Live Tokyo was just awesome. The amount of new comrades I made in a single day was staggering. Went along with a new pack of 100 name cards and came back with 3 left. Met up with a load of comrades who I used to work with at Microsoft who...

So how are you enjoying the new Clone Wars TV show? Didn't get round to watching the film but was surprised at how much I enjoyed EP1 and EP2. Each episode was packed with action and will be sticking it on my watch list. Seeing all those clone t...

I know that many of you listen to anime EPs/OPs and OSTs but is that only what you listen to? What do you listen to while working or doing general stuff on your computer? I listen to radio stations picked up in http://shoutcast.org/ , anime tunes,...

More from todays iPhone 3G launch - more later but am looking for some cool captions here ^^;

More details and photos later of the iPhone 3G launch - in the meantime me on CNN http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2008/07/10/lah.lok.iphone.release.japan.cnn BTW, does anybody know how to extract that video and save the raw swf file? U...

Gordon could have at least waited until he got the rest of his armor... Via Neta.

One of the more decent wallpapers I've seen - via Paracosmos. Anybody here who has not seen or think Starwars is lame?

And just why do I have a snap of the official Star Wars blog header at the top of this article? Because the Tokyo Dance Trooper video has been featured again! Wonder if it will make it to the top page of starwars.com like last time ^^; Many...

Are you bored of taking showers? Then you need these R2 shampoo bottles (set of four) to bring back spice to shower time. Retails for [currency=6720] and will be released next Feb. More pics at AmiAmi.

Shot the day after Tokyo Dance Trooper in Harajuku. The above shot is of Hector and I harassing, erm, I mean dancing with some school girls. Video after the jump. Didnt really plan this one too much and just went to Harajuku to see what would ha...

I got a message yesterday from Lucasfilm regarding the Tokyo Dance Trooper video... And the good news is that they loved it! Apparently the video is doing the rounds at Lucasfilm and they told me that they blogged it at the official Star Wars bl...

Hmmmm. I thought I took more Star Wars pics than this... Speaking of Star Wars - my Vader soft parts have arrived - the seller forgot to send the gloves though. Will spend time over the next few weeks modifying the armor.

Hard parts for my ROTJ Vader armor arrived earlier than I thought. Still need the soft parts before I can actually go anywhere though. The helmet is humongous and weighs a ton - worried about doing my head in after wearing it for hours on end....

In Japanese, sticking the word "get" on the end of a noun means that you have acquired that noun. "Mirei Figure Get" for example means that you've just got your Mirei figure and have a nose bleed from looking at her. I can now tell you "Vader Armor...

Went to get some groceries in armor as usual and saw a girl drop her purse while she was running for something or other. I nabbed the wallet and ran after her but alas I don’t think stormtroopers were designed to run and before I knew it she had disa...

Been looking around for some decent looking Vader armor and came across seller x t r m at ebay whos Vader armor is going for 2,595 USD. These pics are of the actual armor built by x t r m and looks very nice indeed. Buyer ratings seem to be decent bu...

Been modding the armor for a while now and am down to only a few nags. The Thermal Detonator remains unattached and am still thinking of how to keep it secure and be able to take it off easily for when I get into a car. Got rid of all the velcro and...

Some of you already know about the other Starwars saga and how I got my armor. Well for those who do know will also remember the piece of steaming bubbling baboon shite of a blaster that I received with the armor. I got myself one of those Kenner bla...

KITAAAAAAA---------! That's what geeks over here say when something cool arrives in the post or when something cool happens etc. It's usually said a few times in a row. In Japanese you write it as.... キタ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━ッ!!!!! You would have n...

Just got off the phone with a nice lady at Shepperton Studios - the folks who made the original Stormtrooper helmets. Apparently they have this Battle Spec helmet in stock and can ship as soon as tomorrow. I'll remain skeptical until I actually see i...

So you've seen my trooping shenanigans at Akihabara and I thought I'd bring you some pics that you may have seen before including the ones you haven't. I get asked from time to time "why do you do it?" which I think is an odd question but here goes....

I reported on the Millennium Falcon from Fine Molds a while ago and its out - well its been out for a few weeks but only just managed to get hold of these pics form this months copy of Hobby Japan. I have the Kenner version of the Millennium Falcon w...
