Walrus man was one of my favorites growing up, not that he did much in the movie, but in my imagination he was Fett's partner and just as much a badass.
I wonder how many other peoples favorites are determined by in large in that manner.
I think that was the case for many of the characters for me. I grew up along with Star Wars, so I had the Kenner Figures back when I was 6, 7, 8 years old (and beyond). I would get, say, a Cantina alien from my parents and be all "Whoa, who is this guy? The card says his name is "Turkeybuzzardface", but I don't remember him from the movie? (This was back before VHS or even Beta, so it wasn't like you could go rewatch "Star Wars" to see your action figure on screen for .75 seconds) I think he looks pretty cool though, so my story for him is this..." Ah, fun days, when your imagination could fill in all the gaps - blue Snaggletooth and gonk droid could be a couple of kick-a$$ spies who posed as used water vaporator salesmen by day, assassins for the Empire by night!
Yeah totally, great post mate.I think that was the case for many of the characters for me. I grew up along with Star Wars, so I had the Kenner Figures back when I was 6, 7, 8 years old (and beyond).

Yeah, that's the long and short of it. Personally, I'll be happy if I ever get a decent giftcard ($50+) from Sideshow and pick-up Figrin. Like you, I love the instuments (especially the Tech M'or set) but then when I compare spending $160.00 on those vs say $210.00 (from my LCS) on the HT DX10 Terminator it kinda puts things in perspective, value for money wise. That said, if I can get a good deal on Figrin or the M'or set, I'll bite. Otherwise they are beyond easy to cut in this pricey hobby.
Maybe you're right...
That's actually a good point.No way! Keep D'an. There's no reason not to have just one. I love the way he looks with Greedo and Hammerhead... and one day Walruss Man.

I DID have an ANH only focus... Man, I blew that out of the water.
