Early Look at Gentle Giant’s Jumbo Yoda

Yesterday morning, Jordan Hembrough, owner of Hollywood Heroes and host of the Travel Channel’s show “Toy Hunter,” appeared on Good Morning America to show off some toys that holiday shoppers might be interested in this year.

Along with Furby and Barbie, he had a few of Gentle Giant’s 12″ Jumbo figures including Han Solo, Luke X-Wing Pilot, C-3PO and Boba Fett.  But he also had the new Yoda figure which may be the first time we’ve seen a close to production example including his cape, snake and cane.

The color looks right on he cape but it looks a little short and too “new.”  The vintage Kenner figure did an excellent job on the material, capturing the slightly fuzzy, worn look that really helped make the figure what it is.  Still, it’s nice to see this figure is moving closer to being finalized.  Check out the two screen captures below and head over to the GMA website to catch the video of Jordan’s appearance.

The 1 hour season finale of “Toy Hunter” airs tonight at 9:00PM on the Travel Chanel.
