        I don't know if anyone here has seen or mentioned it yet, but Gentle Giant is doing reproductions of the original Kenner figures in 12" scale! These are scanned in 3D from the original figures and are said to be on a giant reproduction of the orignal cards. These are mentioned in Toyfare Magazine #157 out now, and they will be revealed at SDCC. The article says the original 12 will all be done and more surprises will follow! This is looking like a great time for Star Wars fans! The article has pictures of Walrus Man, Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper and pictures of scans of Leia and Hammerhead, and a waxsculpt of a Tusken Raider!

          The Stormtrooper looks cool. Can't wait for Fett. Maybe a rocket firing exclusive?
          Apparently these are 1500 ltd ed.

            the stormtrooper in the photo looks like the vintage 3 3/4 inch version and not the 12 inch one.

              these will be a scale up of the vintage 3 in line not a recreation of the 12" large action figures. For Stormtrooper, vader, chewbacca, and c3po it's a massive improvement - to be honest I was awlays suprised this idea wasn't the one taken by Kenner then - they must have been using design queues from the 6mdm boogfoot

                Making 12" replicas of vintage 3.75 inch figures is an interesting approach.
                I assumed they'd just recreate the original 12" line. Interesting...

                  Anybody have a list of all the classic trilogy vintage style figures there are?
                  You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                      What about the previous years vintage sets? I think I have about half of the first series. This is what I've been able to figure out. Is my list missing anything?

                        Oops! Sorry, I read your previous post but it didn't dawn on me on what you were asking. Yes, you have all of the figures that were released except for the mail order George Lucas in Stormtrooper diguise. He came on the Stormtrooper card in the same plastic case.

                          Here is a photo of what the 12" Stormtrooper will look like in on a card.
                          I guess at the con they will go for $85 but other people are jacking up the price. No surprise.

                            is the han solo big head or small head version? now i get it, they are making the 3 3/4 inch size sculpt 1/6 scale and not recloning the vintage 12 inch sculpt.

                              i think it's a great idea since it's never been done before. i dont think people would want to buy the same vintage 12 inch kenner release if the gentle giant version looks exactly alike.

                                do you know what wave 2 characters will be and if there will be a mail away figure for them as well?
