AFFILIATE LINK: Star Wars Yoda with Snake Jumbo Kenner Figure
One of my first experiences of the practice known as ''short packing'' came when I was - like most 70s and 80s kids - into the Star Wars action figure line. Although Jawas had been tough to find, the figure that was the real Holy Grail was the diminutive Jedi Master, Yoda. And when you look back, you can see why. Not only was the character of Yoda super-popular but the figure itself was superb, with his real cloth robe, belt, gimer stick and - coolest of all - snake accessory. Given how well-equipped (and therefore expensive to manufacture) the toy was, small wonder he was short-packed.
And now he's coming back, but this time in Jumbo form!
This incredible recreation of the classic figure features all the original accessories and even repro packaging from the 1981 release, boosted to 6'' tall (to remain in-scale with the other Jumbo Kenner Star Wars toys) and is available to pre-order now from Entertainment Earth ahead of his March 2013 release. And just like the original scale counterpart, numbers will be incredibly limited, so act fast you must, hmMMmm.

AFFILIATE LINK: SDCC Blue Snaggletooth Jumbo Kenner Figure
I know I sometimes complain that the modern Star Wars lines focus on a lot of secondary characters like Monj Plarg and Stooki Iig and Space Dentist Obu but, truth be told, the original line-up featured just as many minor characters. Yet, for all their limited screen time and back story, they also proved to be some of the line's most popular characters.
Now you can recapture all the ''who is he? I've no idea but I like his face'' fun of Mos Isley Cantina patron Snaggletooth with this San Diego Comic Con-exclusive sculpt, available now as part of the Jumbo Kenner line from Gentle Giant. Standing at 12'' tall and featuring the same 5-point retro articulation rig, this version of Snaggletooth is based upon the design created by the sculptors from limited reference material - hence his silver disco boots and blue costume. And coolest of all, he's limited to just 2000 pieces. So go grab yours today!
