[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 494918, member: 7379"] The lanky torture droid today, Lars? OK then! EV-9D9 was one of those figures I had no idea Kenner even made back in the 80's. I'm afraid I'd stopped collecting the toys when Jedi came out as I thought I was too old for them when I reached the lofty age of eleven! :lol: I did still keep an eye on the toys that hit the shelves for a while, and remember being amazed at seeing an Imperial Shuttle for sale in Debenhams late in the run. However I never saw any of the last 17 during their release, and in fact it wasn't until Sansweet published his brilliant 'Star Wars: From Concept to Screen to Collectible' book that I finally saw the things I had missed for the first time. One of those was EV-9D9, and I loved him! He looked like he should and was different from all the other droids, and so when I started collecting again a short while later, he was high on my target list! When I finally got one, I was delighted to find he had a opening mouth mechanism, which worked really well! :D I was rather less impressed with his arms which broke off if you so much as thought about looking at them! :roll: Oh well, you can't have everything! :lol: Here's mine, and for those of you that have never seen one, look closely at the Tri-Logo MOC's unique and utterly baffling bubble!
