Zuckuss, another lovely member of the six ex-bounty hunter's guild members gathered in The Empire Strikes Back, takes the redemption-offering, fund collecting stage in this new release. He's actually a really impressive looking figure, too, one that, when viewed from the front, is undeniably Zuckuss and is truly needed by anyone who loves their cinematic, bounty-seeking companions.

While shopping I happened across him quite by accident, the bland boxing attempt almost disguising this coveted figure amidst the throes of other newly released toys - as seen in many and many an overlooking nightmare since then. Still, when my eyes happened upon that face looking out through that plastic glaze, his nonmistakeable eyes meeting mine, I knew I had to have him. Out of the box I was delighted, too, only finding flaws in the way the back of the head and his coat meet and with the little chicken legs he has underneath that cover. Yes, the head looks more like a mask than anything when viewed at the wrong angle, and his legs are little bland stick-digits under his coat. Still, I rarely look at him from the top and I only curiously looked under his coat once(it covers him really well), so I was thrilled, the colorations meshing proportionately with his back/breather (not really removable) in a way that made my other figures envious and me forget any objections. He also comes with a weapon as well, something that he can hold quite well - a feat in and of itself - and he even stands up when the price is right.

This is something most bounty hunter enthusiasts will like, plus its something for anyone wanting to pit the forces of the corruptible against the Rebel menace gathering against a poor, unfortunate, perhaps freedom-crushing empire.

This is the only 12 inch I've bought in a couple of years,He doesn't really hunt any bounty though,all he does is sit by my computer and scare 2 year olds.

Despite their extremely brief screen time in the Empire Strikes Back, the bounty hunters Vader assembled are some of the Star Wars universe's most fascinating characters, and were a welcome addition to Kenner's 12" Action Collection line.

Pros - Zuckuss is one of the better looking figures in the series. He's got a terrifically detailed outfit, an amazing head sculpt and his rifle is a cool accessory.

Cons - Nothing. I wouldn't change a thing.

If you're collecting the bounty hunters, this Zuckuss figure is a must-have. It's one of the highlights of the `90s 12" Star Wars figure collection.

Once you get over your initial shock, e.g. the realization that the world was crying out for a 12" Zuckuss and Lucasfilm responded to that call with, well, a 12" Zuckuss, you can't go wrong with this guy. His partner 4-LOM is floating around too, along with Dengar and Bossk and the ubiquitous Boba Fett, so you too can live the dream and make your coffee table or computer desk the bridge of the Executor. Highly detailed - the kind of thing you can brandish at unsuspecting friends and make them jump, actually - and this made my brother's Christmas, which probably tells you more about my brother than anything else, but truly, an excellent product and one far better than you'd expect given Zuckuss' relative obscurity in the Star Wars Universe.

I liked this figure. I have a large collection of 12" SW figures and this one, I felt, came out well. All the joints are tight and the likeness is very good. I was glad to see that they went the extra mile and made a shorter body to be more authentic instead of slapping a head on a standard body.

I bought this figure just because I loved the bounty hunters when I was a kid. But in the original star wars, esb and rotj, this figure was refered to as 4LOM. Even the 4" figure was refered to as 4LOM, But this is refered to by another bounty hunters name, Zuckuss.
Is this a fo-pa on hasbro's part? If it is, then this is a unique item to collect.
Hey hasbro, if you make 12" figures this good, you should make another Boba Fett! I WANT A BOBA FETT!!! Good figure, buy it and leave it in the box, or buy two, play with one, and display the other! Kinda hard not to take him out an play with him!
