Hot Toys Unveils Elite Wookiee Figure
Remember when Kenner first delighted us with the iconic C-3PO action figure, complete with removable limbs and a Chewbacca backpack? That nostalgic piece of Star Wars history was a simple $2 back in the ’80s. Fast forward to today, and Hot Toys has decided to elevate that concept with a new premium Chewbacca figure, featuring a jigsaw-puzzle version of C-3PO riding in his iconic backpack. The price? A staggering $430.
The Ultimate Wookiee Upgrade
This isn’t just any Chewbacca figure. Hot Toys has pulled out all the stops to create a highly detailed, collector-worthy piece. The figure boasts a newly developed wool-hair sculpt, giving Chewbacca a more realistic texture. Multiple layers of fabric hair in different brown shades add to the authenticity. The figure also includes an articulated jaw, a distressed brown bandolier, a blaster, a bowcaster, handcuffs, and a display stand.
And let’s not forget C-3PO. The figure of everyone’s favorite protocol droid comes in a deconstructed form with a chrome finish. The standout feature? The net that allows Chewbacca to carry C-3PO, just like in The Empire Strikes Back.
Capturing an Iconic Movie Moment
The Empire Strikes Back remains a fan-favorite in the Star Wars saga, known for its emotional depth and complex plot. This figure set perfectly encapsulates the moment when a battered C-3PO is carried by the ever-loyal Chewbacca, highlighting the bond between these beloved characters. The attention to detail in this set makes it a must-have for serious collectors.
A Pricey Collectible
If you’re considering adding this deluxe duo to your collection, you’ll need to plan ahead. Hot Toys expects to start shipping this dynamic pair in the latter half of next year. For those who find the $430 price tag daunting, payment plans are available, making it slightly easier to bring this piece of Star Wars history into your home.
Before making a purchase, take a closer look at the product images to ensure this premium collectible meets your expectations. Whether you’re a seasoned Star Wars collector or new to the fandom, this Chewbacca and C-3PO set is sure to impress—just be prepared for the impact on your wallet.
