From today's junk emails ...

Star Wars 1/4 Scale 25" Premium Format Figure - Han Solo in Carbonite (2012)
Premium Format figure captures every detail of the frozen smuggler as Jabba's trophy. Each piece is individually painted and finished, each with its own unique quality and detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow Collectibles product.

The piece features several illumination effects that provide added authenticity, simulating pivotal scenes from the film – a projecting light within the base to illuminate the carbonite block, side panel lights, and a light simulating the superheat melting process that frees Han Solo. A wall-mount option also allows the piece to be removed from the base and hung on a wall while still allowing light-up functionality with felt backing to protect walls.

Crafted in 1:4 scale, the Han Solo in Carbonite Premium Format Figure is the perfect addition to any Star Wars display.

You sometimes have to wonder at MightyApe's definition of "new". In yesterday's junk email they're advertising Imperial Commando: 501st paperback as a "New Release" (and it's the second time it's appeared). It's possibly a reprinted version or even just MightyApe getting new stock, but it's definitely not a "new release" ... the book was printed in 2009. It's not the only old product they have advertised as being "new" either.

As well as the "new release" above, another Mighty Ape junk email is advertising Star Wars: Force Unleashed - Ultimate Sith Edition (Windows PC) for only $10 until 12:00 noon on Wednesday, 3 October. More details.

• Bendable E.T. figure, $14.99 - In stock
  I remember we had a wind-up E.T. figure. I also remember having some sort of bendable figure, but the foam padding wore away and the wire skeleton poked through - too dangerous for a kids' toy these days.
