During the making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, some shots of the Wampa were made with a costumed actor, however, the dramatic first close-ups of the creature when it attacks Luke on his Tauntaun were actually achieved with a puppet crafted by legendary creature maker, Phil Tippett!

Our static resin and mixed media bust is a faithful replica of that puppet and was created with a highly detailed laser scan and extensive, hands-on research of the original prop artifact used in the film.

This Phil Tippett Legacy Edition goes beyond a signature edition to provide each owner with a truly unique work-of-art!

Limited to just 100 pieces, each hand-finished replica in this Legacy Edition will include a premium expanded plaque including a one-of-a-kind Wampa scene sketch, each one dreamed-up and hand-drawn by legendary creature creator Phil Tippett! The fearured 3 5/8” wide sketch comes beautifully matted within an 5”x7” frame that also houses a hand-numbered metal nameplate, hand-signed by Tippett. That frame can either stand on a table top or hang on a wall.

At approximately 13” tall x 19.25” wide (including the oak wood display base), each Wampa replica is 100% made in the U.S.A. Each resin replica in this edition is meticulously hand assembled and hand painted by the artists in our New York studio, making each a unique tribute to the artistry involved behind the scenes of our favorite films! They’re further enhanced with hand-applied fur, hand-laid hair, custom glass eyes, and the same fur treatment used in the film’s production to simulate ice.

This prop replica will be packed in a cardboard shipper box with die-cut foam insert and COA.

Do not miss this extraordinary opportunity to bring home not just an authentic replica, recreated from the original artifact, but also an original work of art with a direct connection to the artists that inspire us!
