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 Signature Edition is part of our Star Wars™ Archive Collection, a continuation and expansion of our work creating authentic replicas with impeccable lineage.
Limited to just 125 pieces, each hand-finished replica in this Signature Edition includes a metal plaque hand-signed by legendary creature creator, Phil Tippett.
Our static replica resin and mixed media replica faithfully captures the classic creature from the film and was created with a highly detailed laser scan and extensive, hands-on research of the original prop puppet used in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back™.
At approximately 13” tall x 19.25” wide (including the Oak wood display base), each Wampa 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.
Each statue in this signature edition includes a metal plaque and COA. This replica will be packed in a cardboard shipper box with die-cut foam insert and COA.

Secret Compass recognizes the value in your collectible figure and we always double-box the cardboard shipper, which comes fresh out of a master case so it shows no sign of shipping before it ships to you.
