WAL-MART EXCLUSIVE SPRING 2007
During the Clone Wars, the Bith Jazz sensation was at its highest, and Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes rode that wave all the way to the top. Popular even with the clone troopers of the Republic, the Modal Nodes toured constantly. After the war's end, Imperial policies and mismanagement cast the Modal Nodes on hard times. It fell to bandleader Figrin D'an to keep the group together booking gigs at any backwater cantina that would pay their fee.

Each band member of The Modal Nodes are a repainted figure from the 1997 POTF2 Cantina Band Member figure but with new soft-goods vest. This set includes five figures each with a different instrument.

There are five cantina band member figures included in this set. Depending on what you think or believe there are actually seven cantina band members of The Modal Nodes though most people will say there are only five. The five characters are:

  • Figrin D'an, the leader of the band plays the Kloo Horn.
  • Doikk Na'ts, who plays the Fizz.
  • Ickabel G'ont, who plays the Fanfar.
  • Tech Mo'r, who plays the Omni Box.
  • Nalan Cheel, who plays the Bandfill.

And the two not included are:

  • Lirin Car'n, a temporary member who plays the Kloo Horn.
  • Tedn Dahai, who plays the Rakassah Horn.
