Retail:

2.99 MOC or Free with 5 Proof of Purchases
Weapons and Accessories:

  • Absolutely nothing

Force fact:
Originally offered in 1984 as the last of the mail away figures Anakin was free with 5 Proof of Purchases.

Quite likely the worst figure made by Kenner in that he did nothing, had no accessories and, for play value, was worthless. Add to that many kids got him as a mail away. So as a result the POTF MOC Anakin figure is one of the rarest figures from Star Wars. Very tough to find on card but the easiest of the POTF, or Last 17 as they are referred to as well, to find loose. Although there are 15 POTF figures overseas collectors refer to the line as the Last 17 as the last two figures released here in the US, Paploo and Lumat, were part of the last wave released outside the US.

No joke, a Headhunter staff. Those are actually heads on his staff. How does no one notice that? How cool is that?

One of three figures actually released in 1984 rather than in 1985 despite the date stamp. Kenner originally included this figure in the second ROTJ release of the Jabba Dungeon. No coins came with these as they were packaged in bags for the set.

Force fact:
Despite what many collectors think EV-9D9 is actually a “female” character. Also of note is the fragile nature of the arms.  They break so very easily so move them only when necessary.

Force fact:
Kenner continued to use the same mold for this new R2-D2 hence the 1977 copyright date.

As with some many other toy lines the end of the run has some of the best toys made. Kenner’s Star Wars line is no different as the POTF line is fantastic. In addition all these figures included a Collector Coin in each package that corresponds to the figure.

Force fact:
An interesting figure choice by Kenner given his limited screen time, no speaking part and generally being the definition of background character. Kenner often went with Aliens as figures especially early in the line as they work with screen shots and had not seen the film.  Not so here they purposely picked this character over Grand Moff Tarkin, Wedge Antilles or another trooper. Always struck me as an odd but interesting choice. I would love to know the rational on his selection.

Yak Face

Carded Availability:

  • Power Of The Force

Assortment No.:

Retail:

2.99
Weapons and Accessories:

  • Staff

Force fact:
I debated on whether or not to include this figure in the list as it was not released in the US by Kenner. However due to its popularity it is included here. The Yak Face was cancelled as the Star Wars line was discontinued in stores across the US. As it is with tail enders (the last toys of a line) they were much more limited in quantities and often dumped in overseas markets. Yak Face is a little more complicated that that. First off the POTF version was released in Canada and subsequently in Australia in Canadian packaging. So it is part of the POTF line if not as a US release.

Things get more interesting from there. Palitoy (the UK toy line) added him to the Tri-Logo line of figures released in Europe. However in this package he comes with no weapon and obviously no coin. What is even more convoluted is that sales in Europe then died off and Palitoy dumped Tri-Logo figures back in the United States. Kay-Bee Toys, and possibly other stores, carried some of these figures on clearance here in the States and for a very brief time Yak Face could be found in the US. But only after Kenner dumped them on Palitoy in Europe and they then turned around and dumped them in the US on KB Toys. What a circuitous route to take for a toy! Anyway that makes it part of the US release in our list.
