Star Wars Celebration V Exclusive - The Plush Wampa

Still available at StarWarsShop.com is the limited edition Plush Wampa With Reattaching Arm. I almost bought one of these until I found a smaller one at a dealers table, though I still might get one before they run out. They are limited to 1980. (the anniversary of Empire Strikes Back!) We got to play with some of these at ICEBAR where they named him Wally and some fans posed with theirs and the big Wampa. So if you want a huggable amputee pick up the the wampa!

My first set of photos is up on Flickr - Wampas at SWCV

How can you go wrong teasing a Gallery with Wampa Girl... I could have put any of my pics there but I know my viewers! Up first is a 100 photo set of all the various Wampas at Star Wars Celebration V. Click on the pic above to check them out.

The Wampa - A Space Yeti?

A while back ago when first researching for the Wampa I came across this fun site I Love The Yeti. Any time a big white hairy creature is seen in pop culture, crafts or wherever they love to share it. There are some crazy yeti costumes including our Wampa buddy Jay Bleu.

So now that My Wampa costume is established, I figure I would submit my suit to their site to share with the fun. In return I got a great post from them, click the pic above to go check out their site.

Star Wars Celebration according to Genna the Wampa Handler

I am sure you noticed that everything of mine is posted by WampaDude, well in the 501st everyone is referred to either by Handle or by TK Number (mine is 2638). Well in the case of Genna who I have referred to her as "The Wampa Handler", but very soon she will be accepted into the 501st as a Juno Eclipse. Once accepted in she will be known as "Inkstess".

Genna was with me the entire trip to Star Wars Celebration and also has been blogging about her experience from her point of view. Click the photo above with Genna, and the hottest Imperial Officer you will ever see Mrs. Brady herself Adrianne Curry, or go to Inkstress.net. Over on her blog you can read her reviews about CV and learn about her artwork, costume and tattoo designs. Genna can also be followed on twitter at Twitter.com/inkstress and on facebook at Facebook.com/inkstress

Thanks to MyDisguises.com for the great write up about My Wampa

About a month ago I found the website MyDisguises.com and became addicted immediately. They feature many very elaborate costumes and fun news stories when costumes are involved. Today they posted a big story about the building of the wampa including photos and videos! I am very greatful for this and highly reccomend this website for anyone who wants to get get into costuming.
