[HR][/HR]San Diego Comic-Con coverage brought to you by [URL="http://www.collectinsure.com/"][B]Collectibles Insurance[/B][/URL], [B][URL="http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/default.aspx"]Big Bad Toy Store[/URL][/B], [B][URL="http://www.yesanimation.com/"]Sekaido[/URL][/B], and [B][URL="http://www.monkeydepot.com/Default.asp?Redirected=Y"]Monkey Depot[/URL][/B].

[HR][/HR]If you were a child of the 70's, chances are very good that you owned at least one Kenner Star Wars figure. [B]Gentle Giant[/B] is tapping that nostalgia with a "new" collection of super sized vintage figures. 12 inches tall in height, these recreations faithfully capture the look (and limited articulation) of the beloved originals.

Fans attending Comic-Con had the opportunity to pre-order the first release, the Stormtrooper, as a SDCC exclusive. No word on if it will yellow over time like the original, but it was displayed in a [I]MASSIVE[/I] blister card idientical to the classic. News at Comic-Con also revealed that Boba Fett will be offered as a Star Wars Celebration V exclusive. Pre-orders for Collector's Club members are currrently being accepted for Boba at [I]gentlegiantltd.com[/I]. Like the Stormtrooper, he is priced at $85. Any remaining stock after the show (don't expect any) will be offered to the public.

Other figures on display expected to receive the 12-inch Gentle Giant treatment included Greedo, Chewie, Vader, Luke, Leia, Walrus Man, Hammerhead, Tusken Raider, even an in-scale Jawa with plastic cape (Star Wars enthusiasts know those are rare in mint condition)!
