AFX Exclusive Jumbo Droid Set

AFX GG Jumbo Droid SetAction Figure Xpress has posted a pre-order for a new exclusive Droid Set of Jumbo Gentle Giant figures.  This set is based on the vintage Kenner 3-packs, similar to the exclusives Target has recently offered, only packed out with the 12″ Jumbo figures.

The set is limited to 500 pieces and is priced at $199.99.  Per AFX, the set is scheduled for a September release.  The full description, from the AFX website is below.  Thanks to Yakface.com who first pointed this out to us last night.

Just like they were when you were a kid, only BIGGER! Gentle Giant continues on with their new line of vintage Star Wars Action figure reproductions with an epic Droid-themed three-pack featuring the Death Star Droid, R5-D4 and Power Droid! All three figures were digitally scanned from mint Kenner originals and reproduced to Jumbo scale. The Death Star Droid is fully vac-metallized, while R5-D4 and the Power Droid feature faithfully reproduced “clicking” articulation, just like the originals!

That’s not all! This set comes packaged in a cardboard-backed plastic sealed tray, featuring a vintage-style outer cardboard shell, perfect for display! You won’t want to miss out on this exciting AFX Exclusive from Gentle Giant Ltd.!

These three, together with R2-D2, were captured and transported by the Jawas in the sandcrawler across the Tatooine Desert. R5-D4 was originally purchased by Luke. The power droid was first seen in the sandcrawler dungeon together with a gleaming silver Death Star Droid.
