Retailer Sideshow’s newest Star Wars line is rolling with Scum & Villainy, and about to welcome in the classic bounty hunter Greedo.
We all know who shot first
Every Star Wars fan knows the scene all too well. Han Solo, about to fly Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi to Alderaan, is stopped in his tracks by Greedo. A green-skinned Rodian, the bounty hunter is working for Jabba the Hutt, and looking to take Solo in by any means necessary.
Of course, Han knows that all too well, and he’s got a solution to the problem that Greedo never saw coming. At least, originally, before retcons altered the scene to a degree. Nevertheless though, it’s a memorable encounter, and one of the more iconic scenes from a film. that was chock full of them.
If you’re a fan, and you’ve been awaiting retailer Sideshow’s own adaptation of Greedo for your Star Wars shelf, your time is almost here. The company has just released the 1/6th figure in a pair of editions, as a part of the Scum & Villainy line of Star Wars aliens.
