Wampa (1981), The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars, by Kenner

Name(s): Brand: , Classification:
Wampa Star Wars toy

4.5 (2 votes)

The wampa is a yeti-like hairy creature that inhabits the icy planet of Hoth (the sixth planet of the Hoth System). It appears in the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back (1980), attacking Luke Skywalker and his tauntaun mount, dragging them back to his cave. Of course, Luke escapes, dismembering the poor hungry wampa in the process.

The Kenner Aliens line really came into its own beginning with Series 2. Whereas the xenomorphs in the first wave were relatively conservative in design, the later ones were all over the place, and all in a good way. There was the Killer Crab Alien, the Mantis Alien, the Rhino Alien, and the Snake Alien among others.

Aliens, the 1986 sequel to 1979’s Alien, is one of the greatest sci-fi horror films of all time and one of my all-time favourites. I’d much rather watch it than any other instalment in the franchise. And one of the best parts of that movie is the Queen alien, or xenomorph if you wish to use the official term.

Rancor Monster (1984), Return of the Jedi, Star Wars, by Kenner

Star Wars counts, right? Oh yes, Star Wars counts!

This is an impressively faithful depiction of the rancor from Return of the Jedi (1983). The Cambridge Dictionary defines “rancor” as “a feeling of hate and continuing anger about something in the past”. I mean, if you’ve seen Return of the Jedi (if – haha!), you’ll probably agree the rancor monster does seem rather angry about *something*.
