INTRODUCTION
"One of my fondest memories as a young obsessed Star Wars fan was Christmas morning in 1978 when my parents (or was it Santa Claus?) gave me the Sears Cantina Adventure set. It was simple cardboard with some pegs to stand and pose the characters; Hammer Head, Greedo, Walrus Man and Snaggletooth. But without question, one of my favorite and most memorable Star Wars toys.
It's now my pleasure, some thirty years later, to be a part of the Gentle Giant team and have the opportunity to bring a new rendition of Blue Snaggletooth to fans and collectors alike, who I hope share the same memories as I do of those original Kenner cantina
figures."

Blue Snaggletooth! Gentle Giants is proud to present this statue as a true homage to one of the rarest Kenner Star Wars action figures from 1978, and available only to the Gentle Giant Premier Guild members. Snaggletooth sits atop a bar stool with a drink in one hand and a blaster in the other. This
12" poly-stone statue is a strictly limited edition; hand numbered and comes with a matching certificate of authenticity.
This is a nice statue for those who love the Cantina or just have a love for the Blue Snaggletooth character. The only problem that I can see with this item is that the hole in the base is too large for the peg that in on the bottom of the stool. Gentle Giants tried to fix this by adding a plastic sleeve to the stool post
- it almost fixes the problem. I ended up wrapping a little piece of black electrical tape to the stool post so it would fit snug into the rather large hole in the base. It seemed to fix the problem and my Snaggletooth will not fall over from too much drinking.
