Do we really need yet another C-3PO in our collections seeing as even with a  new Salacious Crumb pack-in we still probably own most of what is offered here? Who could ever forget that little pain in the rear (or in Threepio's case eye) Salacious Crumb? Although we haven't seen this little runt since the Power of the Jedi collection, perhaps it was time to revisit one of the most hated Star Wars puppets.

After a comparison to the PotJ Crumb, I notice the newer version not only is made to interact perfectly with this figure, it has articulation all over the place for various positioning. The previous versions were statuesque and offered little or no movement at all. The paint scheme was also appreciated as they remembered to include the green spew that Jabba slapped on our favorite protocol droid.

As seen in the photo here, if you do opt to simply position the figure alone, there's no hiding the action feature hanging out of the back of his head. It's a little annoying but when you put the crumb figure back, it seems to go away! I guess if they are to continue to re-issue the same figures, this could be the best possible way to do so. Give the extra effort and something we've never seen before. It really helps justify the internal struggle of whether you need to buy it or not.

Spice - I put the thumb up because they did put extra effort into the Crumb and the action figure is pretty hilarious in itself.
