The Star Wars Jumbo vintage line continues to expand with the addition of Zuckuss. He should also be released in Q1 and is priced at $80.
See the gallery below for detailed shots of both, and complete descriptions of the items are after the jump.
Sophia Stalker Walker Zombie Mini Bust – $75
License: The Walking Dead
Item Number: 80300
UPC: 8-71810-01017-2
Dimensions:
Release Date: Q1 2014
Season Two of AMC’s The Walking Dead was full of tragedy and loss. Perhaps one of the most painful surprise revelations of the season came in the episode “Pretty Much Dead Already,” when the Survivors discovered the fate of young Sophia Peletier. Throughout the show, it was clear she’d been followed, even hunted, by one particular Walker. Whether or not this is the one that finally caught her is a mystery.
Straight from the screen to your shelf, Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to bring you this terrifying Walker mini bust. Digitally sculpted and cold cast using only the highest quality synthetic polystone, this piece is as screen-accurate as a mini bust can get. Each hand-painted bust comes individually numbered and includes a matching certificate of authenticity.
Zuckuss Kenner Jumbo Figure- $80
License: Star Wars
Item Number: 80305
UPC: 8-71810-01007-3
Dimensions:
Release Date: Q1 2014
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.
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!
If this is truly vintage inspired, I’d contend this should be 4-LOM. Yes, I know it was a switch up, but it would screw you over if you wanted to display them together.
Hmm, that sounds like it would make a great convention exclusive, doesn’t it?
I was actually thought the same thing later in the day. Didn’t Hasbro do a two pack like that at some point?
Yes, it was a celebration exclusive – a vintage carded two pack. Image here
