Another purchase from the Calgary Expo. A figure from Revenge of the Sith. My brother-in-law thought he was Wookie Warrior #43 since that number is on the card. Turns out the numbers refer to the RotS line of figures. So they didn't make 42 other wookie warriors. Too bad! This guy is huge- just a little smaller that Tarrful, though more posable. The figures from that era (2005 is ancient history in the toy world I guess) weren't supreduper articulated, and they tended to have action features. If you squeeze this guy's legs his arms go up. Thankfully they stopped doing that and added more articulation. Yup, just bought him cause he was only 6 bucks and I need more Wookies. I still don't have a Chewie!
Still no Chewie but two versions of Tarrful! This one is from the set that also had wee Yoda and a Clone Trooper and an AT-RT. And what else can you say? He is big for a GH, and he does all the things that other Galactic Heroes do- stand there and be cute! Good enough for me. I hope my daughter thinks they're cool in a couple of years.
Before RotS came out my wife and I took a trip to the Rockies and picked up some new Star Wars figures to go along on our hike. We named this guy Rasta Chewie. In the movie he was the wookie general or chief or something. Him and real Chewie were very sad when Yoda had to leave. So far he is the only wookie I have in my collection- my vintage Chewbacca lost in the Great Purge of '93.
