Was able to snag the Mynock Chewbacca bust from Gentle Giant! LOVE it! Received it last week and put it up today!

Yes…I do love Chewie. He is the BEST best friend, co-pilot, first officer, first mate. There when you need him. Always. Would give his life for you. If Angelus would have been brown, he would have been named Chewbacca. So yeah, I have a fair amount of Chewie stuff…just a sample…

That Chewie statue was my very first Gentle Giant collectible. Loved it soooo much when I received it . Still do.

My husband bought me this Chewie plush. It’s an original from 1977 – Star Wars era. Tag still attached. I was very happy with this prize :) Little Chewies on his lap are from other lines and not 70s.

My signed Peter Mayhew pic. Got this at Wonder Con in SF. TESB is my favorite movie ever so wanted this pic signed.  He is a very nice guy. VERY tall!! But a very, very nice guy.

And Chewie as done by Radcliffe in pewter. I have a fair amount of these pewter figures.  Well, in the characters I really care about. At some point, you can just spend too much on fringe characters or characters you don’t really care about. But Han and Chewbacca…well…my favorites. The scoundrel with a heart and his best friend :)

  1. No one can accuse you of being a bandwagon fan. ;) I love it – I used to have a Millennium Falcon hanging from my ceiling in my office at work, but had to take it down because it was too unprofessional. In my new place, that and my other minimal collection will be going back on display.

  2. Ooh! Which Falcon? Hasbro? Star Wars always needs to be on display :) And me…band wagon fan? Not for Star Wars!!! Oh the geeky stories I could tell……..

    And p.s. I SOOO want to hang one of my Falcon’s from the ceiling in my dedicated Star Wars room. Have always wanted to do that! Some day… :)
