I love the Empire Strikes Back and I love a Tautaun. They are of the era I grew up on of stop motion by the late, great Ray Harryhausen. The cuts between the physical prop and running across the snow are so reminiscent of The Golden Voyage of Sinbad and The Mysterious Island etc

So thos year when walking around Dublin Comic Con I nearly fell over my crutches when I rounded a corner and saw the guys behind DCC had included a brand new display as seen below. Let’s just say my only regret was I couldn’t have gotten to sit on him. I’ll just have to make do with my 12 inch collector’s series one with Han Solo.
