      Referred to as “the Uncanny One” by other bounty hunters, Zuckuss is one of the top bounty hunters hired to track down the Millennium Falcon after the Battle of Hoth. This ammonia-breathing findsman is especially dangerous because of a well-kept secret - his affinity with the Force!

      At the Battle of Hoth, Luke Skywalker fought bravely against the Empire in an effort to buy time for his fellow Rebels to make their escape. After his snowspeeder was shot down by an AT-AT Walker, he continued the fight on foot, taking down one of the metal behemoths with only his lightsaber, a grappling hook and a plasma grenade before making his own retreat.

      It doesn’t take long for the Imperial Forces to react after the disastrous and devastating loss at the Battle of Endor. With the Emperor gone, many would-be “heirs” attempt to stake their claim. However, they only manage to accomplish fracturing the remnants of the Imperial Fleet into dozens of small factions under various self-styled warlords. As chronicled in Timothy Zahn’s epic trilogy of novels, the most powerful warlord, Grand Admiral Thrawn, quickly rises to the top and becomes the greatest threat to the fledgling New Republic.

      One of the "Holy Grails" of the toy collecting world is the incredibly rare and hard-to-find Rocket Firing Boba Fett figure prototype. The only evidence of "what could have been," the original Boba Fett figure was never released with its rocket firing feature due to safety concerns. No finished versions of the functional figure are known to exist, and only a few of the original one-color injection-molded figures prototypes have ever been seen outside of the Kenner factory. These pieces are highly sought-after by collectors and have fetched incredible prices on the secondary markets.

      A Previews Exclusive! Mynocks. Why'd it have to be Mynocks? In an effort to escape the Imperial Fleet at Hoth, the daring Han Solo flew the Millenium Falcon into an asteroid field and hid inside a cave. Turns out, they weren't the only creatures inside that cave. In fact, it wasn't a cave at all... Now you can commemorate that iconic scene from The Empire Strikes Back with this Previews Exclusive mini bust sculpted using extensive photos pulled from the Lucasfilm archives. Han Solo comes outfitted in his blue Bespin jacket, breathing apparatus and his trusty DL-44 heavy Blaster pistol. Cast in durable materials and hand-painted by a team of skilled artisans, it includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

      Quick, to your speeder bikes! Inspired by events seen in Return of the Jedi, an Imperial Scout Trooper appears here in this roughly 10-inch tall animated style resin statue, on the run from the locals. The highly-trained, specialized, and focused troopers are generally left to their own devices except when the locals decide to take back the forest. While the troopers have guns, the Ewoks have the numbers needed to "axe" the Empire to vacate the area surrounding Bright Tree Village. This unique take on the final battles of the Star Wars saga with the kind of action befitting the destruction of massive intergalactic governing body. The Scout Trooper is armed with a blaster and his wits, while the three Ewoks attack with axes and the kind of rage you'll only find in the woods. Measures about 10-inches tall. Limited edition of 1,200 pieces.

      Once a respected Senator of the Republic, the man who would be Emperor embraced the Dark Side of the Force in order to gain untold power. After declaring himself Emperor and dissolving the Republic, Palpatine began a reign of terror that spread evil throughout the universe. Only the combined efforts of the Rebel Alliance and the Jedi Order, now reborn in Luke Skywalker, were able to overthrow the Emperor and end his tyranny.
