Gentle Giant Ltd.'s Final 2 SDCC 2012 Exclusives Revealed

Gentle Giant LTD revealed their final 2 SDCC exclusives. The first one is Blade II Reaper Mini Bust & Blu Ray Set. Edition of 500. Price $99. PGMs can pre-order now!

Final exclusive is Star Wars' Blue Snaggletooth 12" Jumbo Vintage Kenner figure. Edition of 2000. Priced at $80.
Blue Snaggletooth is the informal name of a rare Kenner action figure from 1978. Released as part of the Sears “Star Wars Cantina Adventure Set”, the Snaggletooth figure was intended to represent the character who would later be known as Zutton. However, the only reference used for the figure was a partial black and white photograph of the alien’s head. The body was unknown, so the sculptors and artists improvised, creating a tall alien with a tight blue spacesuit and silver boots. From 1979 onward, including later Sears releases of the cantina set, all versions of Snaggletooth were changed to a red color,  with bare feet and hands and shorter legs.
