Anyone recall Tauntaun WW

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got a spring. Come inside and chat about Funko Wacky Wobblers (bobble heads, for the less sophisticated).

Anyone recall Tauntaun WW

Postby Alleycat » Sun Nov 20, 2016 8:03 pm

I recall seeing a concept sketch from Funko of a tauntaun Wacky Wobbler that never got made. I've looked through all the catalogs I have but can't find.

Anyone???? Kevin????

Yes Craig. There was a Han Solo riding a Taun-Taun (when he saved Luke in the cave from freezing to death). It would have been a larger piece and I am sure that only Han Solo's head would have wobbled. I do remember seeing a sketch of it, but that was all. I am pretty sure that George Lucas killed it. It was always one of the Star Wars pieces that I would have loved to seen make production and probably the only one I would still own.

Really cool that we're at least getting this in POP form now.

There are lots of items in old catalogs that were never made, pictures on the side of Funko boxes of pieces never made, lots of artwork of pieces that were never made. Some would make you cry, others will make you say......okay I see why, but most make you say, that is waaaaay to bad that never made it to production!

What are some examples (with pics if you guys have them)?
I've been meaning to get a thread with never made pieces made for a little bit amongst all lines. Some protos exist of certain items (Yellow Submarine Pops) and I know some of you have some very rare color rejects and unmade stuff.

That Tauntaun wobbler would have been amazing! So sad it was never produced. And oh how I wish that 12" Yoda bank was made :(. Any idea if there was ever even a proto for either?
