    Comments: Generally speaking, vintage collectors disregard virtually everything the Expanded Universe has offered to the Star Wars community. Even though they still call him Pruneface instead of ...Orrimaarko..., all have to agree that the EU did answer the age old question that overshadows all others in the vintage community: ...Who’s this guy???... With it’s rather ambiguous card back photo, most collectors thought the figure was based on one of the myriad characters from Jabba’s Palace who got a millisecond of screen time in Return Of The Jedi. As it turns out, he ended up being a rebel dude from the second act... who only got a millisecond of screen time in Return Of The Jedi.

    Major Variations: Though all vintage figures have minor variations, the Pruneface action figure has no major variations.

    What if Hasbro were to offer a new line of larger scale figures that put a focus on screen accuracy? The Probe Droid is curious if you'd walk away from the 3 3/4" line in favour of something new that catered more to adult collectors.
    I'd be willing to start from scratch.
    I'd be into it only if they were super articulated.
    I'd only be into it if sculpt and silhouette were the main focus.
    I might get a few, but I don't think I'm ready to start something new.
    I'm only interested in 3 3/4" figures.
    I don't collect the Hasbro stuff.
