Bounty Hunters Collection: Zuckuss

Zuckuss, the bounty hunter of the Gand species, first appeared in the 1980 film The Empire Strikes Back as one of the mercenaries hired by Darth Vader to track the Millennium Falcon. The character was brought to life through a combination of a costume worn by actor Cathy Munro and a mask designed by the legendary Star Wars prop team, intended to give the bounty hunter a bug-like, alien aesthetic that stood out from the humanoid characters in the film.

This Funko Pop! figure, number 441 in the Star Wars series, was released as part of the specialized Bounty Hunters Collection. Funko’s design team captured the character’s weathered, scavenger-style robes and his signature GRS-1 snare rifle, aiming to provide a stylized tribute to one of the most obscure but beloved background figures from the original trilogy. The figure reflects the broader modern appreciation for secondary characters in the Star Wars universe, who have gained significant cult followings through expanded lore and collectible merchandise.
