SW KENNER-INSPIRED EARLY BIRD JUMBO AF 4 PC SET

40 years ago, a generation of kids saw a movie that changed their lives. When they left the theater and went to the toy store to find action figures from their favorite new movie, they discovered that they did not exist yet. When the holidays rolled around and the kids wanted to find their favorite heroes, villains and droids under the tree, none could be found. Kenner's solution to this problem was "The Star Wars Early Bird Kit." Parents, desperate for anything Star Wars to giftwrap for their kids, were sold a large cardboard envelope 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 pays tribute to that classic Star Wars story 40 years later with their Star Wars Jumbo Early Bird 4-Pack! This four-pack of action figures 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 connoisseurs. The Early Bird Jumbo Figure 4-Pack will come in a retro-style box mimicking the original Early Bird envelope. 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.
