That's when Kenner was kitbashing ideas for new characters. That's the head of Squid Head/Tessek turned upside down:

I just noticed it's the banned version of Boba Fett, too. The one with the choking hazard missile.  EDIT: Yours for just $185,850 No, that's not $185 - $850. The last time one went to auction it sold for just over one hundred and eighty five thousand dollars. Megillah Gorilla fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Sep 29, 2020 |

Yeah it basically never went to market and in that sense is barely even a product, but Star Wars mania means that a true collector must have this unpainted choking hazard miniature https://www.fanthatracks.com/news/collecting/l-slot-boba-fett-sells-for-record-breaking-112926/

To be fair, that's a prototype. That's basically like saying "hand crafted by the ILM gnomes out of George's discarded beard clippings".

 I have no idea who this is and if the packaging didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t know what movie he’s from.

That’s actually not too extreme as far as obscure character action figures go. He had speaking lines and everything, and was even in episode II. Yes I am a dork.

This figure exists. I feel like it's at least partially just a way of selling nerds like me a HK-50 arm, but still... it exists.

I mean, the Ice Cream Maker Guy/Willrow Hood had been a combination joke/minor EU thing for like 20 years before they released that figure, and I think that whole line was similar stuff like video game characters, random alternate outfits, designs and what not.

That character is at least kind of a jokey reference, To me, the pinnacle of obscure Star Wars character action figures is this guy: It's not only not a character anyone would ever recognize, it's not really a good toy because he's barely articulated. His arms move, but his body is just one solid piece of plastic. I kinda liked that it was both obscure and a character incapable of fighting to defend itself, but that's just my weird ideas from when I was 12. I didn't actually know what this guy was from when I first got him. I assumed it was some senator in the background of some political scene, since it was part of the Attack of the Clones toyline, but apparently he's "Kren Blista Vanee" a guy who was an unnamed extra from some scene of Return of the Jedi that I don't remember at all.  He's also not the only one from this scene to get an action figure, but the other one's not the one I wish it was.

Sheev's cabinet are probably the most underrated background characters

There are photos of dozens of Willrows at every annual SW Celebration. Much like the Graflex flash, that particular ice cream maker model is really hard to come by because Star Wars nerds snap them up whenever they pop up for sale.

This is a promo from the annual May the 4th party in Detroit, they renovate a bar to look like the cantina, costumes are mandatory so everyone is dressed up, they get themed bands, build giant props, every year it gets bigger and better (til this year of course) it's the most I look forward to anything all year. https://vimeo.com/331818800 Edit:Fixed link I'm the smoking Rodian.

I love this picture becuase it looks like they're doing an mid 90s hip hop album. Like "Dizciples of the Dark Side : Straight outta Korriban Drops May 9th 1994, get it at your local Sam Goody or Suncoast"

You could fill this entire thread entirely through the JW Rinzler "Making of" books (he does other franchises, too! Just came out with "The Making of Aliens")
