We didn't get a chance to talk with Master Replicas (maybe next year!) but we did walk around their booth and get a good look at a lot of the new booty. Here is some information from the Master Replicas Press Kit:
FORCE FX LIGHTSABERS - The only certified official Lightsaber replicas of the iconic props used in the Star Wars films. For 2007, three new Force FX Lightsabers come on board, joining the Mace Windu, Darth Maul, and Obi-Wan Force FX Lightsabers as part of the Master Replicas’ growing collection. Just in time to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Episode IV: A New Hope, Master Replicas will roll out two Force FX Lightsabers featured in this landmark original film:
Luke Skywalker Episode IV Force FX Lightsaber
Darth Vader Episode IV Force FX Lightsaber
And rounding out the line for 2007 is the highly-anticipated:
Yoda Force FX Lightsaber
As with all of Master Replicas’ Force FX Lightsabers, the three new releases feature:
- The sturdy blade is permanently attached to the hilt
- Durable metal hilt looks and feels like a real Lightsaber
- Features motion sensor controlled sounds: idle, hum, swing, and clash
- Authentic Lightsaber sound effects digitally recorded from the movie
- A bright, glowing blade that ignites with realistic power-up and power-down light effect
STUDIO SCALE REPLICAS – Absolutely incredible limited edition replicas created directly from the models or miniatures used in the actual filming of the Star Wars films Fans have been chomping at the bit to find out what Master Replicas will announce as a follow-up to 2006’s ground-breaking Millennium Falcon Studio Scale Replica.

- Boba Fett’s Slave One Studio Scale Replica

SCALED REPLICAS – or “Minis” as the Collecting Community has affectionately nicknamed them, are highly affordable, completely authentic prop replicas that have been scaled down to a smaller size. For 2007, Master Replicas has taken a new direction with scaled replicas, and turned its attention from the weapons of the Star Wars Universe to some of the iconic helmets. Look forward to Scaled Replica helmets, including:
- Clone Trooper Helmet Scaled Replica
- TIE Fighter Pilot Helmet Scaled Replica
- Stormtrooper Helmet Scaled Replica
- Boba Fett Helmet Scaled Replica

Big, bad and bold, Star Wars helmets are the stuff of legends. And now, thanks to Master Replicas, aspiring Stormtroopers and Bounty Hunters alike can share in the magic, with fully beautifully crafted helmet replicas created to exacting standards of accuracy and authenticity. 2007’s Helmet releases include:
