Gentle Giant teased last week a special reveal coming from Action Figure Insider today and they have the exclusive announcement of the Jumbo Kenner Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot figure. Watch for the pre-order to be listed later this week.

Kmart Sale Through 4/19
If you have a Kmart in your area, you may want to head there quick to see if they have any Scanning Crew sets yet – as stores have dropped the price down to $10 per set through 4/19! Be aware though that it’s unconfirmed if this is a national sale or not.
Of note, their clearance toys are an additional 50% off through 4/19 – there are some great buys to be had, mostly non-Star Wars items; but the 31″ Vader is currently marked down for a very low price too.

Gentle Giant Mystery Announcement
Finally, Gentle Giant is teasing a mystery announcement exclusive to Action Figure Insider on April 21. Judging by the graphic, I suspect it being something Jumbo in nature and tied to The Empire Strikes Back. If I were to venture a guess, I’d say that it will be a Jumbo Kenner Tauntaun.
