Jumbo Zuckuss Available for Pre-Order

jumbo_zuckuss

Gentle Giant is now taking pre-orders for their Jumbo Kenner Zuckuss figure.

Referred to as “the Uncanny One” by other bounty hunters, Zuckuss is one of the top bounty hunters hired to track down the Millennium Falcon after the Battle of Hoth. This ammonia-breathing findsman is especially dangerous because of a well-kept secret  – his affinity with the Force!

Digitally scanned from mint 3 3/4” Kenner originals, Zuckuss has been reproduced in scale to the rest of our exciting Jumbo Kenner Vintage line. No detail has been overlooked. Roto and injection molded using durable plastics, this fully-articulated jumbo figure includes a faithfully reproduced Blaster rifle.

That’s not all, this classic Kenner creation comes packaged on a 1980 Empire Strikes Back-inspired blister card, featuring original front and “45 back” artwork, in a re-sealable plastic outer clam shell to help protect and display!

For many, the joys and pains of collecting can be summed up in one word–exclusive.  A hard-to-obtain, limited piece can be the prize of a collection both as a rarity and as a memory of a trip.  But obtaining these exclusives often is difficult for many either involving expensive trips or high premiums on the secondary market.  But as the 2013 convention season commences new exclusives are being announced every week.  Last week came news of Hasbro’s San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Han in Carbonite and Boba Fett Black Series 6-inch figures.  Now on this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast Marjorie and Arnie look at exclusives announced for Star Wars Celebration Europe 2.  From T-Shirts to posters to pins, the first round of exclusive merchandise offers some collectibles with a vintage style and others with a more modern and German flare.  Join their discussion and start your shopping list now!
