Comments: The Vintage Sand People had style; buckets of it. What with his tricked out Gaderfii Stick and off the hook Vinyl Cape, he was the mack! The Sand honeys sure would have dug this guy if only they existed back in the days of the Classic Star Wars Trilogy.
Major Variations: Though all vintage figures have minor variations, the Tusken Raider's only major variation was a slightly resculpted head with hollow cheek tubes. To date, the hollow tube variation has only appeared on cards from Return Of The Jedi. No carded examples on either Star Wars or Empire Strikes Back card have been found.
