Toyfinity’s Mordles are now available to the public at large. I’ve got my sets, and they’re pretty cool. Highly recommend for minifigure collectors. Check out Joe Amaro’s T-Fett : Intergalactic Soldier of Fortune. Joe’s website says, “All Hail Our Sacred Drunken Wookiee: a Chewbacchus Art Show. An art exhibition that celebrates fandom in all its glory with […]
