We're going to use this section to showcase some other Japan exclusive items.
Here's something I found out about today... a Darth Vader Umbrella.
This umbrella is limited to only 1,000 and has a full scale lightsaber hilt as the handle! The inside of the umbrella has a starfield background with The Death Star visible encircling a planet.
These were produced as a promo item for the Osaka SWE3 Road Show and were never made available for sale.

Nice idea,
looks like a lightsaber,imagine Vader would have used one against Obi-Wan, pulling his saber and "pop" up goes his umbrella...  |

Another item that could only come from Japan, combines an iconic symbol of Japan's culture and Star Wars.
These traditional folding fans embellished with Darth Vader were only available as prizes at the Taito Arcade.
Each fan comes in a replica lightsaber handle used as a carrier/protector for the fan!

Those are actaully really nice pieces I think, the presentation of them is fantastic (pardon the terrible pun, if you will).

OK... I'm not even going to pretend to understand how these work, but here are some mobile/cell phone cleaners.

It seems that the super-cool Vader umbrella came in 2 different versions.
The Vader graphics on the outside of the umbrella are labeled as style A and style B on the tag. Style A was limited to the first 250 of the 1,000 piece run.
The pic in the first post of this topic was the style B, here's a pic of style A.

This is the cross-over of the M&M's M-pire franchise to the Japanese market, with this rather cool-looking clock.

Here's a couple of new keyrings I've spotted on eBay.
These first two items really scare me...
  
Please, don't shoot the messenger. |

I'm always looking for Vader items - PM or e-mail me! |
