Gentle Giant's Vintage 12" Star Wars Figures

[Jay1138]

R2 and Ben Kenobi and hopefully the Death Squad Commander should be coming later. They also have Hammerhead (yeah!), Greedo, Walrus Man (aka: Buttface) coming too so this line will be going for some time. Especially with the way GG ships things.

Wake me up when they make a Jabba. (I guess he'd be the size of a dog )

Sorry to get your hopes up but I have to bump this thread.

Is this line dead? Have Han and Chewie shipped yet? Where the heck is R2??!?!

No kidding! They need to freaking hurry.

On a somewhat-related but completely different topic...

The arms on both my vintage Large Size Darth Vader and Chewbacca have fallen off due to the deteriorization of the rubber band which held them together. The plastic rings are still sticking out of the arms, so that's good, but I don't have any clue how attach another rubber band, making the tension tight enough to hold the arms in place.

Any suggestions?

I'm not holding my breath. I'm just glad Fett and Stormtrooper are in my collection soon to be Vader but I think anything out of the original 12-18 will be released...

Somebody heard somewhere they there is going to be a vinyl cape version, but I havn't heard anything official.

That sounds like the kind of thing that would be a show exclusive.

Rumors are it will be a PGM gift or exclusive.

What can you call exclusive these days?

 

[IrishJedi]

Yes. They will.

That sounds like the kind of thing that would be a show exclusive.

Yes. Or some kind of Exclusive. Either a Convention or to PGM members.

 

[Darth Waller]

More preorders? How about you guys ship the next two.

These look great!

 

[Darth Waller]

I hope the vinyl-caped Jawa isn't an SDCC exclusive. If so, I hope it's available for PGM members like Boba was.

I was really considering picking up the Vader... but decided instead to pick up the actual vintage 12" which about half

That's a MUCH better pick up than the GG Vint. 12" version. Congrats. I would love to have the entire Kenner vintage 12'' collection.

 

[galactiboy]

A guy on Rebelscum is selling a complete set of the vintage 12" figures... asking $800 which if you break down the individual values isn't a bad deal. It was still available when I checked a couple days ago.

I think the only major issue with the set was that Leia was missing a comb, or something like that.

New Kenner style Obi-Wan

 

[wookster]

Kenner style Jaw, they should have done the vinyl cape, prob will as a an exclusive.

 

[galactiboy]

The cape on Obi-Wan looks kinda bad... a bit too thin for a figure that large.
