Here we go again with a silly vintage Kenner movie scene recapture. Back when mini rigs like the “One-Man Sail Skiff” gave you all the play value you needed to re-imagine scenes with the Skiff and the Barge simultaneously. #starwars #actionfigures #kenner #klaatu #barada #weequay #bobafett #minrigs #onemansailskiff #lukeskywalker #jediknight #tatooine #returnofthejedi https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DbMRwAwfL/?igshid=1ivs0jtf0e8yz

Klaatu (Skiff Outfit). Back then we all thought that Klaatu was a name and this particular henchman of Jabba’s entourage just happened to be honored with an extra figure with different outfit in the Kenner line (a privilege that otherwise only the main human characters, Luke, Han, Leia, and Lando were granted). The guys at Kenner probably didn’t know better, either. I would dare to say that no one knew—or cared. Not even GL. And why shouldn’t the very guy, whom Luke steals the blaster from in Jabba‘s palace (the “palace blaster” [sic!]) later get dressed in “Skiff Battle Gear” and join the action on the “Battle of Cartoon”? Fun fact (but everybody knows that by now I guess): this fellow was portrayed by @coreydeewill Another fun fact: the One-Man Sail Skiff could never be seen in the movie. The idea of the Mini Rigs was to provide budget priced vehicles that would look as if they could have appeared either in a blink-and-miss moment or just outside of the movie frame. While this particular mini rig never got much attention from me, this Klaatu figure certainly was among my favorites of that time. #starwars #actionfigures #onemansailskiff #minirig #klaatu #skiffoutfit #kenner https://www.instagram.com/p/B-LCJyXq9Mp/?igshid=tdfpa9fpc1ag

When Jabba tells them to practice social distancing and they don’t get it. This One Man Sail Skiff actually seems to have enough room for two, however it gets cozy. I always found it funny how Kenner suggested with their packaging shots which of the mini rigs kind of belonged to one of the characters/figures. In this particular case Kenner was ambiguous (as they often were) #starwars #actionfigures #onemansailskiff #bobafett #klaatu #jabbashenchmen #bountyhunter #tatooine #minirigs #thebarge #kenner https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hamt6gBp2/?igshid=a3lxt144p7rc
