The 1998 Red Card left much to be desired and perhaps there was never a more disproportioned figure ever. While the retro-style sleek new look has the carded collector in awe, it is the loose collector who really benefits.

If you are lucky enough to acquire Yoda, you will see how great these two figures bring Dagobah to life. While it appears you may have a one pose wonder, you have to use the additional arms and head that are packed in with the interlocking base.

You can see they put dirt and the hair upside down to add even more detail. They definitely hit a home run on the first release and if this is what is in store for us down the line, I can say it's going to be great to be a Star Wars collector.

Spice - The OTC line is going to be great for both new and old Star Wars collectors. While I did not look forward to seeing Luke Dagobah again, I was happy to see they at least made a new figure. When you get it cracked open and mixed in with the others is is a loose collectors delight and a diorama builders dream come true. Thumbs up, what a great way to kick it off.
