Rancor Keeper

IncomT65:
Come on, let's give the big guy some love  ;D

It's amazing they never resculpted Yak Face from the POTF2 version but this they do a couple of times.

Jesse James:
I think a more fair comparison for why it probably was unnecessary was the POTF2 figure than the original Vintage figure...  The POTF2 would've sufficed me, personally.  Articulation's appreciated for sure, and the removable hat, but really the POTF2 didn't sell not because the figure was bad, but because the figure was boring.  So this one didn't sell likewise because it was boring, haha.  The fact it was done before just made it even more pointless was all.

Most alien upgrades I'll take all day long though.  And even most humans I'll take.  The Rancor Keeper though, he was really on my "Never care to see again" list.  There are many PT figures in that list now too, haha.

R5Don4:
Nice.  Thanks for bringing this back to finish it off. My favorite feature of the last few years.

Pete_Fett:
The fact he's been done twice is definitely a head-scratcher.

My guess would be that he was originally intended to be part of the new Rancor release and he got cut from that set due to costs - and there was no way the Luke figure was going to get cut.

So instead of throwing away the sculpt, they put him in the Build-a-Droid line with the hopes that him having a droid part would help him sell with the folks looking to complete the droid.

The newer version IS a great looking figure though...

Would definitely love to see them put that kind of effort into a new Yak Face.
