Japan Vs. Star Wars: The Hello Kitty Stormtrooper
Try to imagine the most unholy union of historic geekology and annoying Japanese cuteness and you might just come up with the Hello Kitty Stormtrooper pictured above. Outfitted in hot pink Imperial Guard armor, the figure is not just a simple case of slapping a Hello Kitty head on a Star Wars figure.
If you look closely you'll notice the details that include the well known Hello Kitty paw prints on the gloves as well as the helmet shaped to accommodate cartoon cat ears. Although this was originally revealed at the recent Comic Con event, somewhere out there a little girl with Hello Kitty drapes and an obsession with all things Jedi is very, very happy.

Frak me silly...my daughter is exactly that, a Hello Kitty nut with her own pink lightsaber and was devastated when she didn't see any clones at the last Shore Leave con in Baltimore! I have to have this armor for her!!

Since I could not care less about a Hello-Kitty/Star Wars cross over, what about a little something about the other custom storm trooper suits behind the pink abomination? The HK suit is atrocious we can all agree, I think DyVyc readers would appreciate a FULL write up about the custom storm trooper design contest behind the stupid fluff story. K THX
