So last month I talked a bit about how Mimoco was coming out with a Series 4 of their popular Mimobots Star Wars line. They had only released 1 design of the 4 that were going to be coming out. It was Darth Maul. Yesterday, they officially announced the rest of the set, and I have to say, it's pretty "EH". It's technically only 3 characters total; Darth Maul, Clone Captain Rex, and Darth Vader. In the spirit of the 10th anniversary of Phantom Menace, I'll say that the Darth Maul one is pretty cool. I still don't like his hands, but what can you do? As for Clone Captain Rex, apparently he is really popular with fans of the Cartoon Network show "The Clone Wars". It is a cool drive, featuring a removable helmet that exposes the character's face, but movie enthusiasts may not be inclined to pick it up. Personally, I don't really care. Finally, there is an overhaul of Darth Vader. Mimoco released a Darth Vader Mimobot in Series 1, back when all the Mimobots had ears. This gave him a more cartoony appearance. It also was limited to 3500 pieces and sold out VERY quickly, so it's hard to come by for newer fans. What really makes this re-vamp interesting is that it is an unmask-able version. You can remove Darth Vader's helmet to reveal a butchered Hayden Christiansen as Anakin Skywalker face. It's also the first chance you can grab Vader as an 8GB drive. As for the missing Fourth character, technically I guess it is there. See, it's actually a chase variant. 1 in every 6 of the Darth Vader Mimobots will have the pale white OG "Return of the Jedi" Anakin face beneath the helmet. I actually like this one a lot more, it's less sucky. So there you have it, If you were interested in some Dark Side of the Force love for your files, then look no further than Series 4. You can snag them now on Mimoco.com, they come in 1GB for $19.95, 2GB for $24.95, 4GB for $34.95, or 8GB for $49.95. One more bit of cool news, it appears that this year at San Diego Comic-Con, Mimoco will offer up a 500 piece limited edition Star Wars Mimobot. This could possibly be the best Darth Vader option yet, it will be a Vader that has Luke's face inside. Luke as he saw himself on Degobah in "The Empire Strikes Back". Pretty cool.
