No one who has seen the '80s television commercial for the Wampa toy is likely to forget it. It features a child who is holding the toy and moving it about sporadically. As he's doing this, he's screaming "Wampa, WampaWampaWampa...WAMPA!!!" in about the most maniacal voice you could possibly imagine. My parents wouldn't let me watch Rambo, for goodness sake, but they based their decisions regarding what toys to buy me on satanic advertising like this? It's no wonder I'm so screwed up.

Despite the scary commercials, the Wampa is considered by many to be part of the standard Star Wars action figure line. And it's always been popular with collectors. I've always considered the sculpting on the toy to be a little sub-par (those elephant feet are horrendous!), but the spring-loaded arms were a good feature and, heck, any Hoth action figure adventure is incomplete without a Wampa toy.


Catalog Description:
