Kenner Star Wars Action Figures 1979 – Blue Snaggletooth

Blue Snaggletooth
- n/a
- Han Solo Blaster
Force fact:
Everyone knows that the blue one came from the Cantina Adventure set sold exclusively through Sears and never shipped as a single carded version. Similar in many ways, this version of the figure is 3 3/4 (as opposed to the later version which is 2 3/4) had silver boots and a blue jump suit.
Now infamous, the story goes that Kenner designers only had a grainy head-shot picture to use as reference when making the action figure. Deciding that he was tall, and had a blue uniform (which he was actually a short character, dressed in all red) they produced this “Blue” version of Snaggletooth.
After George Lucas finally learned of the error he demanded the figure be corrected to it’s short, red state as seen in the film. Kenner made the correction during the production run and only changed the box art to depict the new corrected red Snaggletooth. The figure, which was also later released separately on a card, along with the other creatures that came with the Cantina Set. The Blue Snaggletooth disappeared seemingly un-noticed.
Carrying the same weapon as the small version the blue Snaggletooth was available only in a sealed Kenner baggie and never on any blistered card back.
