Which figure would you accept as a substitute for blue Snaggletoothe in the new line?

Nostalgic fans want all the original 102 characters made in the vintage line by Kenner, remade up to modern standards by Hasbro today.

Probably the most controversial figure amongst the 12-15 you could make a case for still needing re-doing, is "Blue Snaggletoothe."

Originally, Zutton appeared in both A New Hope, and the Holiday Special. But he was cut out of ANH in editing. Takeel got left in (seated near where Han blasts Greedo). Kenner only had a black and white set photo to work with, and since Zutton was seated, they had no idea he was a shorter alien - or what color his costume was.

Kenner released a blue Snaggletoothe with the special Sears catalog special cardboard catina (yes they had exclusives back then, too). He was a standard height and wearing blue.

When the Holiday Special aired, and Lucasfilm caught Kenner's error, the figure was corrected (just like Luke's glove on the wrong hand thing today), and red Snaggletoothe, an authentic Zutton for the vintage line, was released on a 21-back card shortly before The Empire Strikes Back figures were released.

Today, Blue Snaggletoothe is regarded as an error figure, but a highly valuable one since the red figure is more common.

The Question is, for nostalgia's sake does a blue Snaggletoothe have merit in today's line?

Old (and incorrect rumors) had it that Kenner had made the error because they had confused images of the other characters shown to you in this poll: Treva Horme and Utriss M'Toc. Seeing them in the image attached, that's a little hard to believe.

However, these characters, or another Snivvian (Wiorkettle wore blue)might make a good replacement for some nostalgic fans who still count Blue Snaggletoothe as another true figure of the vintage collection.

Additionally, Cloud City has some good offerings (like the Ice Cream Maker Guy) that are often overlooked, and Empire Strikes Back remains the film with the least amount of new character offerings.

Wiorkettle offers another true Snivvian, and a female I believe.

Treva Homre is also female, and a very interesting alien at that.

Utriss M'Toc shows by example that not only humans could serve the infamous Bespin Wing Guard (Lando's security troops).

My poorly photoshopped blue Zutton stands in for those who want an exact replacement for the vintage Snaggletoothe, though Hasbro would need to alter his height.

Which one do you like?

I picked the Wiorkettle. Looks kinda cool. The Bespin Guard looks like something off of Star Trek for me. But thats me and you are you. How doyou vote?

I don't want ANY of these figures -- I want the ORIGIONAL BLUE SNAGGLETOOTH FIGURE -- ERROR or NOT!! -- Thats the whole POINT!!

Hasbro can even release him as the "Error Character" and list this story on the cardback -- that would make the figure even more interesting!!

A REPAINT is out of the question -- whats the point!

Treva Horme looks like a "repaint" of Yakface -- and probably will be if they make this figure.

Utriss M'Toc is just another Bespin Security Guard -- big deal!!

Wiorkettle is the only different figure -- but it looks bad "the picture" -- its a girl snaggletooth it looks like. :

Hasbro can spend a little time looking over the "vintage blue" and create something that really looks like the "error" figure.

JediBoulton, I'm not sure what you meant. You want a re-release of the exact vintage mold of Blue Snaggletoothe?

The choice of the Zutton picture I photoshopped, was to represent repainting the POTJ figure and perhaps giving him full height to truly simulate the error Kenner made back then. But it's not an exact re-release.

The idea of explaining the history of that figure on the cardback is pretty cool and goes in line with what they did with Han Hoth's blue coat and brown coat. Great thinking on your part!

But please tell us which you'd want. (and sorry if that poll choice wasn't clear).

[Beast]

I want Treva Horme and Wiorkette, both. But since I can only choose one, I'll go with Wiorkette since that would be the approximation of a proper Blue Snaggletooth that actually appeared in the movie. Utriss M'Toc I believe might have actually been a photoshopped Alien for Decipher, and not in the actual movie. I'd have to look again.

The Bespin Guard looks like something off of Star Trek for me. But thats me and you are you. How doyou vote?

That was my first thought when I saw the alien BSG. It smacks of someone out of Voyager or TNG.

I voted for none of the above. None of them interest me at all. If I were to get any of them it would be an original blue snaggletooth, like JediBoulton said. Why get a repaint like the clean/dirty biker scout?

I'd rather get a character with some screentime faster than 0.1 nanosecond which is what these 3 ESB aliens have because I don't remember seeing any of them at all in any of the movies.

Ask again in 2010, Tycho, once there are no substantial characters/resculpts left for Hasbro to do.

My Bad Tycho

I do NOT want a Vintage figure recreated ( i would like to get the vintage figure though )

If we can get a Zutton with the full height added and a color change -- that would be great! -- if possible -- we need to change my vote

[Tycho]

JediTricks could modify that:

1) erasing a vote for none above
2) adding a vote for a Zutton repaint
3) adding that the blue Zutton would have a height change in the description, instead of "and photoshop" like I put it. Sounds like he comes with software, heh-heh. It could say "simulated with photoshop."

I don't have the editing control I used too this new forum setup.

By the way, Mandalorian Candidate, the whole appeal of these 1-sec or even cut-from-screen characters is that they are unique sculpts and I'm kind of a fan of how cool they can turn out - characters like Ephant Mon. Even the Duro was barely on screen, as well as Bo Shek. Aurra Sing was closer to these folks screen time, but she got more pixels Still, Jango Fett wore blue. They could always do another figure of him instead. I mean they will anyway so kids old enough to understand SW by the time of Episode 3 (and not swallow the toys they teeth on) will be able to get him at regular retail when they're old enough. There are still some adult collectors out there who don't have much time and plan to see all the prequels for their first time when they can watch them back-to-back on DVD. Few, but some. They might collect on a whim once they've seen the movies. Clones are cool, you know?

But I meant to treat Cloud City with at least some of the respect Jabba's Palace and the Cantina get. There was the intention of having characters make appearances there in the same striking manner as aliens do elsewhere in the SW galaxy. But for whatever reason, they didn't keep it in the final cut of the movie, and it's a human running with an ice cream maker that gets all the attention in the end.

I voted for a re-painted Zutton. They could release the new figure on a special "one-time only" blue POTJ card. I believe this would make the figure more unique and sought after by collectors. I think that Wiorkette looks cool, but I would rather have the blue Zutton. The other possible characters will probably never be made...including the Wiorkette figure!

Well -- why not a "Purple Card" -- with the explaination of what happened on the back. This would be an AWSOME Figure!!

Maybe -- also as with the POTF figures -- include a "card" that shows the origional cantina set that the Vintage figure came with --

HASBRO -- are you out there taking notes ?!?!
