3rd Party Kenner Retro-Style Toys
Rob:
I don’t know if it’s real, and I can’t figure out how to post it here from my phone, but in the RS thread for this line someone has a screen grab from Home Bargains showing a retro collection Bantha and Sand Person. I can’t find it on the site but it LOOKS legit.
Muftak:
The image in question...
I can't verify it, but this picture is calling to my mind a custom Bantha I've seen before that was solid fur sculpted on top of the POTF2 Bantha. The telltale was the reuse of the saddle. But for all I know, that's how modern Hasbro would do it, too.
I dunno, but it would be neat if true!
Darby:
If that is real, I will FLIP.

That does look legit. Would be cool to get a Tusken, let alone the Bantha. US price translates to about $40.
Muftak:
I knew it looked familiar...
The custom was even on display in a Vintage Star Wars toy museum show last year, displayed as if it was a Kenner prototype, but as you can tell by the familiar "Kenner Sandtrooper" custom, it is a modern recreation:
Its creation as a custom was confirmed during the show.
Lots of great pics and a write up at this site: https://greencardback.wordpress.com/2018/10/10/star-wars-irl-2-may-the-toys-be-with-you/
