Affiliate Link – Star Wars Death Squad Commander 12-Inch Action Figure

I know that this series of jumbo vintage Star Wars figures hasn’t exactly been getting great reviews, but I can’t help but get the urge to grab one every single time that I see a photo online. And the fact that this Star Wars Death Squad Commander 12-Inch Action Figure* uses the original name and not the less offensive rename just makes it look even more attractive. But no, I still haven’t taken the leap and ordered any of the figures in this line. I think that if they were $50 I’d probably own a few, but $75 is a little too high for me.

Just like they were when you were a kid, only bigger! Gentle Giant continues on with their line of vintage Star Wars action figure reproductions with the release of this classic Death Squad Commander, later renamed Star Destroyer Commander for various reasons. Digitally scanned from mint 3 3/4-inch tall Kenner originals and reproduced to a substantial 12-inches tall. Nothing has been overlooked. Roto and injection molded and made of durable plastics, this jumbo figure is fully articulated and includes a faithfully reproduced black helmet and gray uniform, with blaster included, just like the original. That’s not all, this classic Kenner creation comes packaged on a 1977, Star Wars inspired blister card, featuring original front and “12 back” artwork, in a re-sealable plastic outer clam shell to help protect and display!
