Star Wars Yak Face with Tri-Logo Card




Yak Face was one of the bizarre aliens associated with Jabba the Hutt in Return Of The Jedi. He's remembered more for his figure than his screen time, though. He was one of the last figures produced in the 80s of the original trilogy, and he wasn't available in the USA. There were two versions made; the "tri-logo card" and the single logo with a coin. The one I have (tri-logo) didn't come with a coin, but I was much more interested in the figure. He's in scale with the other 3.75", and the last one of the originals I didn't have. I paid about $60 for him on eBay in 2004, which I considered a great deal. I didn't know it came with the card until I received the package in the mail! He's a neat sculpt, and I'm glad to have him with my other originals.

Stormtrooper Large Talking Figure





This 13-1/2" tall, fully articulated figure came from the Disney Store. I picked it up summer of 2014 for just under $30. It is easily one of the best-looking stormtrooper sculpts from the original trilogy, in my opinion. The voice chip plays about 15 phrases from "Star Wars IV: A New Hope", and by the push of a separate button, his blaster fires three different blasts, and the end lights up red. The only thing I don't like is that the blaster is permanently fixed into his hand, but it's a great figure!
