That is in fact one of Hallmark ornament this year. This isnt what I would call a traditional year for them. Other ornaments from this year are R2 and Jawa, and Falcon blasting its way out of Mos Eisley. Theres also going to be a limited edition Tusken Raider available only on premiere weekend of July 14 - 15.
 
I like that ornament, and I LOVE the idea for a diorama! :monkey5

Sideshow did say that some of these might be wall-hangers (i.e. medallions/plaques and such) - anyone think they might go this route?
 
I do like that Hallmark piece. I believe it's a new one for 07 right? I think SS would do that much better.
 
The piece would be cool, but that's a moment a lot of people would expect, and it doesn't sound like the dio will be of a moment we would think of off the top of our heads, but will still be very cool.
 
I wouldn't like a diorama to be turned into a plaque, just to be wall-hangable.

There are plenty of environments that would need to be hung on a wall for proper positioning, like the "I am your father" Bespin enviro. Those I would expect to hang on a wall, but not pieces that would normally be placed on a flat surface.
 
Something said at ORC regarding the Frodo/Gollum piece --

"There isn't more of the environment because they were going for the emotionality of the moment and the conflict between the characters."

Based on that I doubt we'll ever get a static scene in the dioramas from ANY line. They will all be key emotional points in the stories. Which certainly makes sense I think.

So the "Luke, I am your father" or the Ep IV Vader vs. Obi-wan would be more likely.

Good point Dave, I got the impression when the Dio line started for Star Wars, that it'd be like the Hasbro Unleashed line, only realistic representations of movie moments, but capturing moments of energy, emotion and conflict.
 
Thanks for the scoop, Dave!

I started out saying that this might be the ANH duel diorama, but Sideshow quickly said the early predictions are off; if it's the Bespin diorama -- I'd be in seven times seventh heaven.

(Although I'd expect the entire gantry, precisely to capture the emotion and the conflict of the scene!)

Cool! That's what I would want these Dio's to be is some of the most important scenes from these two great stories. That way when you're looking at them you feel the same emotions you felt when watching them on screen.
 
I still find the moment in which Obi-Wan give Luke his father's lightsaber quite moving, it could work.

It could work, and deffinately a good candidate for the dio line, but not likely the CIV dio, I think most fans could see that coming and wouldn't be caught off guard by that choice. I'd wager something more memorable but doesn't stand out quick in the mind, like a dio of Luke, Obi and the droids in the landspeeder with Obi-Wan waving off a sandtrooper, classic moment, but I don't think that'd be the kinda moment people would think of quickly if they had to give ideas for a dio piece.

I actually really want that as a diorama. I would really like for something like that to be in scale with the GG Sandtrooper and Dewback. That would be awesome.
