Mint in sealed box Star Wars Early Bird Jumbo 12 inch scale action figures of Luke, Leia, R2-D2 and Chewbacca made by Gentle Giant in the 1970's Kenner style.
40 years ago a generation of kids saw a movie that changed their lives. When they left the theater and went to the store to find action figures from their favorite new movie they did not exist. When the holidays rolled around and the kids wanted to find their favorite heroes, villains and droids under the tree they did not exist yet. The toy makers solution to this problem was “The Star Wars Early Bird Kit.” Parents, desperate for anything Star Wars to wrap for their kids, were sold a large cardboard envelop that had a fold out stand, some stickers, trading cards and a promise that WHEN the figures were made, they would be the first kids to receive them.
Gentle Giant Ltd pays tribute to that classic Star Wars story 40 years later with the Star Wars JUMBO Early Bird 4-pack. This 4 pack of action figure is a great jumping on point to the Jumbo line for new collectors as well as bringing back some earlier, harder to find figures for current Jumbo collectors.
The Early Bird Jumbo figure 4-pack will come in a retro box that looked like the original Early Bird envelop and inside will be the familiar white mailer tray with Luke Skywalker (with his double telescoping lightsaber. The first DT saber in the Jumbo line!), Princess Leia (with white vinyl cape and blue blaster) Chewbacca (with greenish Early Bird crossbow blaster) and R2-D2 (with clicking head). Also included in the set will be larger reproductions of the stickers and a large foldout, replica display stand that will hold the “original 12” figures along with the perforated cards attached to the front.
Gentle Giant Ltd’s Jumbo line. Just like you remember, ONLY BIGGER!
Box is way too big and heavy. I will not ship, do not ask. I only have one set left.
I also have a complete set of the 12 back Jumbo figures for $2500. I'm selling them as a set of 12 only, I will not separate. All mint in packages. They're perfect for picture number 4 if you plan to display them that way. (The moose and flower are my picture marks. Have fun removing them. I had my pictures copied before by scammers and posted on their scam websites pretending they were theirs).
Prices are very firm. Cash and pick up only. No checks, paypal or any other form of e-payment.
I won't reply to "is it still available?" questions anymore, there's way too many of those fake inquiries. Yeah, nice try Joe M. You must be very proud of yourself.
