It took DKE Toys a long time to figure out what to do with a galactic sized pile of vintage Kenner Salacious Crumb action figures from the original Star Wars toy line. Behold, the limited edition Space Rat Action Figure Art Series! For this exciting new series, DKE Toys invited 11 artists to lend their skills to interpret the galaxy’s favorite Space Rat.
For the San Diego Comic-Con 2018 Exclusive Star Wars “Space Rat” Action Figure Art Series each artist created an original painting of the character for the packaging. Those paintings were then transformed into signed and numbered card backs, which have affixed to them authentic Kenner Salacious Crumb action figure from 1983! There are 11 artists in all participating in this series, with each artist specific card back limited to 100 pieces. These fantastic pieces will retail for just $25 at the DKE Toys SDCC booth #5045, or you can get a full set of all 11 different designs for $200. That’s like 3 free Space Rats! For those collectors wanting the complete series, figures numbered 1-20 will be available at the show as matching numbered sets.
The participating Space Rat artists are Scott C, Christian Clayton, Rob Clayton, Robbie Conal, Mike Egan, Alex Gross, Peter Kuper, Carlos Ramirez, Martha Rich, Mark Todd and Esther Pearl Watson.
