Revealed as a part of this week’s Bring Home The Galaxy campaign, the 3rd Bounty Hunter set (rounding out all six bounty hunters from The Empire Strikes Back) has been revealed featuring (the “appropriately” named) 4-LOM and Zuckuss. No word yet on exclusivity, but it will likely follow the other two sets and be an Amazon exclusive and set to go up for pre-order this week. See all of this week’s reveals over at the Bring Home The Galaxy week 5 page.

UPDATE: This will be an Amazon exclusive available to pre-order tomorrow at 1 PM Eastern. Pre-order link here (It will go live once it is available).

Welcome to another entry in our The Vintage Collection: The Ninety Six column. Hasbro recently committed to collectors that they will be “focusing” on characters in The Vintage Collection that fall under “The Ninety Six” banner. If you’re new to this, it means that there needs a modern counterpart for every classic Kenner figure. Between 2020 and 2021, Hasbro’s made an admirable effort by focusing on these characters. But there is more work to be done, and we’ll figure out where we are step by step. Today we assess 4-LOM.

Amazon has two of their The Black Series exclusives available right now on sale. The 4-LOM and Zuckuss Set is currently $31.39, and the Chewbacca & C-3PO set is currently $31.29. Thanks to JTA reader Kevin for the alert!

Today we revisit 4-LOM. 4-LOM wasn’t part of the Trilogo line. We’re showing one of the foreign Return Of The Jedi card back instead. 4-LOM was a late release in 1982 because it was first offered as the line’s mail-away figure that year. See the full card art and additional notes by revisiting 1982’s THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK 4-LOM figure HERE.

The next two cards from the weekly Topps Star Wars Living Set are now out. Featuring the iconic blue starfield and the impressive artwork of Kris Penix, check out Jan Dodonna (#133) and Zuckuss (#134). Each Tuesday, two new cards will be released and be only available for one week. Click here to view the entire Star Wars Living archive, including individual print runs.

In 1984, new packaging for Star Wars figures was introduced for the European market. A cost containment initiative, the new packaging sported three languages of the Return Of The Jedi logo for a “one size fits all” approach. Although a “three-logo” design was created for The Power Of The Force line (as evidenced on some ‘boxed’ toys), it wasn’t carried over to the basic figure line’s card design. They continued to use the three Return Of The Jedi logos instead. Although the word “Trilogo” is found nowhere on the packaging, the term is universally adopted by all Star Wars collectors to describe this line of figures.

Today we revisit Zuckuss. Zuckuss has card art that’s nearly identical to the Kenner release. See the full Trilogo card art and additional notes by revisiting 1982’s THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Zuckuss figure HERE.

Hey Hasbro! Stop stealing ideas from The Vintage Collection and using them in The Black Series 6″ line! The Bounty Hunters (40th Anniversary Edition) (4-LOM/Zuckuss) is a 6″ version of a The Vintage Collection product. It’s still cool, though. We have it all for you to see in our 52-image gallery; comparison pictures and all! Check it out! (more….)

Wow, that came fast. If you ordered the now sold out The Black Series 6″ The Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary 4-LOM/Zuckuss figure set from Amazon, the set is now shipping!

4-LOM • The Empire Strikes Back • 1982

Zuckuss • The Empire Strikes Back • 1982

Hasbro made some fantastic 12 Inch Figures during the Star Wars “Saga” era of the toy line. Zuckuss is one of the highlights, even if he isn’t perfect. See more in our Research Droids Reviews today!

There is good news for the UK and beyond regarding The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ Zuckuss figure. Hasbro is officially getting it out to collectors in the UK! It’s coming soon! Star Action Figures is taking pre-orders right now!

It has just been confirmed, and this is excellent news for collectors in Europe. Both Zuckuss and Captain Phasma (Quicksilver Baton) are both coming soon there! Per our friends at StarWarsFiguren.com, they will be available through any store who orders from the wholesaler, that is specialty stores, websites, others

Well, I was informed today by my etailer of choice in Germany that they will most likely not get the US Disney Store exclusives Phasma (Quicksilver Baton) and Zuckuss. But they wished me good luck finding the figures elsewhere. Ok, ebay usually has everything and not getting the figures at all was never the problem, but ebay has ebay prices and of course you can get Zuckuss and Phasma both on ebay. And I pulled the trigger, but not without much grumbling. However, the whole bounty hunter collection would be pretty much useless without Zuckuss. The question now is, fellow collectors outside North America: were you able to find, pre-order or buy either of the figures in your country (other than on ebay, that is)? And dear Hasbro, why on earth is it so difficult sometimes to get figures to distributors or etailers outside of North America? And why can’t or won’t the various Disney Stores in Europe and elsewhere sell the figures? You had all the time in the world since TRU’s demise to figure out something? You do realize that Zuckuss is needed to complete the 6 inch bounty hunters and that collectors will be quite annoyed if they can’t get him?

Not For Sale Outside North America?
