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!
Forum member EMPIRE has shared one of the most impressive works of Star Wars customizing that I have ever seen.
This custom spaceport playset was made for his kids (his very lucky kids!) and features numerous docking bays, restaurants, shops and everything you could ever dream of.

We’d like to take the time today to wish George Lucas a very Happy 69th Birthday.
The latest TVC offering is appearing at more Toys”R”us stores across the United States, and will set you back $129.99 if you’re so inclined to pick up this behemoth.
Note to Hasbro/TRU though – if this doesn’t sell all that well, just remember this is the 3rd packaging variation of the AT-AT in the past couple years! We do love the big items but we also need you to throw a well-executed Death Star playset and a Sail Barge into the mix!
When toy runs are as dismal as they are lately, a lot of us naturally turn to customizing – and some even go the extra mile and create our own fan-fiction Star Wars photonovels – most of which can be read and commented by readers like you in our forums.
But sometimes there’s an older photonovel that appears to have been lost in cyberspace - for those of you who have been around for years in this hobby, remember the old stories by photonovel legends Dan Curto and Scott Corrales? Or the amazing Clone Wars storyline by SA Longhorn?
Those stories, and even the latest ones by various customizers can all be found on the greatest photonovel library of them all: The Photonovel Alliance.
TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores have been known from time to time to have some odd markdowns - at times clearancing some items, but leaving others (of the exact same SKU#) at full price.
Forum member darthapathy also recently came across some sporadic markdowns at his local TJ Maxx.
So keep your eyes peeled when at these discount stores – you never know what you may come across, or if it might be marked down cheaper than you think.
The ToyMan Collector Show returns to St. Louis on Sunday, May19.
