This series is basically made up of characters all from the Fantastic Four. Each figure includes a piece of Ronan the Accuser, and you can put him together if you get all eight figures. Here is the list of characters in this series.

Here is another exclusive Star Wars bust for Gentle Giant fans. Seriously, they have done so many of these this year, I have given up keeping track of them. This time it is a light-up version of Obi-Wan Kenobi exclusive to Wizard. It is limited to 2,000 and goes on sale October 11th for $59.99. According to Wizard, it is due to ship in late October.
This bust looks to be exactly the same sculpt as the Obi-Wan that was released earlier this year. It is made of translucent material and lights up the same way that the light up Yoda bust does that was exclusive to Celebration IV. It doesn’t seem that fans are falling over themselves to get the light up busts. Yoda wasn’t hard to get, and it doesn’t look like Obi-Wan will be either.
Update - 10/9/07: The Spirit Obi-Wan Bust is now up for sale on Wizard’s site.

The maquette measures approximately 6 inches tall. The head is removable and can be used on the other maquettes.
Update - 10/15/07: This is no longer available on Toys R Us’s web site, but they have posted images of this you can see below. However, there are a lot of Luke maquettes up on eBay right now. You can also find the other Lego maquettes on eBay here.
