C-3PO 12” Jumbo Vintage Kenner Star Wars Action Figure by Gentle Giant

Gentle Giant is about to release another wave of its 12 inch vintage Star Wars action figure reproductions, and it includes 2 characters that should really excite collectors, C-3PO and R2-D2! Digitally scanned from mint Kenner originals and reproduced to a substantial 12" tall, this 12” Jumbo Vintage Kenner Star Wars C-3PO action figure by Gentle Giant is an exact replica of the classic ‘70s toy.

Injection molded and made of durable plastics, this jumbo figure is fully articulated and faithfully reproduced just like the original. Best of all, this classic Kenner creation comes packaged on a 1977 style Star Wars inspired blister card with a plastic outer clam shell to help protect and display this awesome action figure.

The Star Wars 12 inch Jumbo Vintage Kenner C-3PO action figure by Gentle Giant retails for $79.99 each and can be pre-ordered from EntertainmentEarth.com here.

Johnny Cupcakes Rubik’s Cube Inspired T-Shirt “Ruben’s Box”

I must have owned 6 or 7 Rubik’s Cubes as a little kid growing up in the 80s. Back then it seemed like everyone had one! The best were the “specialty” cubes where the squares lined up to form a picture or a message, kind of like the version seen here in the new Rubik’s Cube inspired t-shirt from Johnny Cupcakes entitled “Ruben’s Box.” As you can probably tell, here one side of “Ruben’s Box” forms JC’s classic Cupcake & Crossbones logo in blue and white. The only thing better than this t-shirt would be if Johnny Cupcakes released an official Rubik’s Cube!

The Johnny Cupcakes Rubik’s Cube Inspired t-shirt “Ruben’s Box” is currently on sale at the JC online store for $35.99. The shirt is available in both men’s and women’s styles, sizes S-XL.
