STORMTROOPER SUPER SHOGUN COMMERCIAL UPDATE!
Our faux 1970s commercial is a smash hit, and we would like to thank everyone who posted links on message boards, facebook, and twitter! The word has spread like wildfire (or is that Rocket Fist Fire?) and we've already had over 45,000 views on Youtube...not to mention the many fans who watched the clip on the official STAR WARS website. Speaking of STARWARS.com, the site just published an article about the "making of" the video, with many photographs from the set as well as with an interview with Super7 founder Brian Flynn. Find out how we made the ROCKET PUNCH fly here -

http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=52825 I think the extra exposure from the commercial helped UGO.com to recognize the greatness of the STORMTROOPER SUPER SHOGUN, and include it in their STAR WARS themed Gift Guide-
http://www.ugo.com/the-goods/super-shogun-stormtrooper-1 Thanks again for making this such a success, and keep spreading this awesome video around!
We'll end this post with a screenshot of the STARWARS.COM homepage, which featured not one, but TWO articles on our SUPER SHOGUN toy--
