Busting Into Toy Fair

The 98th annual American International Toy Fair arrives in New York City from February 11 - 15, and some distinctive Star Wars faces will be there -- or rather, amazing replicas of them. At this key event for manufacturers and retailers in the toy industry, Hasbro and Lucas Licensing will unveil several highly detailed busts made of Episode II characters.

During Episode II's production in Australia, precision laser-scanning equipment was used to digitally record the likenesses of many of Episode II's cast, as well as the dimensions of various props and articles. These startling busts are a first glimpse at the new benchmark of accuracy that Episode II's products will bring.

While only specially cleared attendants of Toy Fair get to see the busts in person, here are exclusive photos of the sculptures.
