Funko Pop Wampa Battle at Echo Base

Wampa Battle at Echo Base (Star Wars)

A terrifying creature

This wampa figure is part of a series of six figures representing several moments of the battle of Echo base, the Rebel base. They are all on interlocking bases. The base represents the icy ground of the planet Hoth with the beginning of the cave walls. The wampa is completely covered in white and beige fur and stands with one hand in front and the other holding a large bone. At the head level, it is almost humanoid with large eyes, a brown muzzle and a large mouth open on an impressive dentition. Finally, it has two large horns going from the back to the front of the head.

An additional danger

The wampa is a creature living on the planet Hoth in the Star Wars trilogy. Hoth is an ice planet where the Rebel Alliance set up their new base in the second film of the trilogy in hopes that the Empire would not spot them. Wampas are very large and carnivorous creatures living mainly in caves. While traveling on the back of a tauntaun, Luke Skywalker was attacked by this creature who took him to his cave to eat his tauntaun and planned to devour him right after. Luke managed to escape by using his lightsaber to cut off its arm. It was shortly after this moment that the Empire attacked the Rebel base and Luke had to flee to the planet Dagobah to find the Jedi Master Yoda.
