Gentle Giant Jumbo Kenner 12" Star Wars

[samurainoir]

I can't believe this line is still going! It looks like they might be well on their way to remaking ALL the original figures as a 12" figure. Astonishing. How do folks who collect these store and display them all?

Kind of wish they swapped Zukas and 4Lom back to the other way round.

I really like this line a lot, but I don't have the room for them.

Wait, but based on the links, Zuckuss and 4-LOM are correct now, aren't they?

I'd love to collect these, but I just don't have the space, and they cost a bit more than they probably should. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

[drquest]

The are correct, but not correct in how Kenner originally released them.

I love them but don't have a single one.

The power droid seems to be calling me, and if they ever make and early bird set I might have to get those. It would be cool if they could make a repro vinyl storage case to out them all in.

I love them, but I don't own any either. I just recently made the decision to collect vintage Star Wars so you never know what toy bug is going to bite or when. If I wasn't trying to get the Sideshow Universal monsters (and display them one figure per detolf square, yikes!!) I'd probably be all over these (and displayed the same way, that's a lot of detolfs).

Yeah, but in my mind they are more authentic when they are INCORRECT! like the originals. They are the Rosencrantz and Gildenstern of the star wars universe. 8)

I picked up the Boba Fett on sale a while back, and it's a really awkward piece to display in the clamshell. I can only imagine how unruly it gets trying to display two dozen plus of them.

I've run out of room now...and I'd still buy them...

Ok, I get you now, yeah they should have kept the names the way Kenner had them. Or maybe they had to correct the old error at the insistence of Lucasfilm?

Oh man, a 22" Wampa would be awesome, but $400? Really???

[Agent4125]

I considered collecting these. But after seeing them in a comic shop I realized that
they are simply too large, especially the packaging.
I think 6 or 7 inches would have been a better size.

[samurainoir]

OMG... this could be the Game Changer for me. They are making PLAYSETS to display them!

and Boba Fett is rocket firing.

I have 9 of the first 12. Right now, they are all hung in a cluster on the wall. One day I may free them. My problem with them is their price. For what they are, you really don't feel like you're getting your money's worth. The money I've spent on them could go I a long way buying true vintage toys. Still, they hit the nostalgia sweet spot.

Now, with their secondary market prices, I'm finding it hard to pick up the remaining 3 of the first 12.

I'm digging that Wampa too I had no idea he was $400.The whole line is neat and holds the charm of the Kenner originals in a way.
