[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 500096, member: 7379"] Thanks, Lars. I don't know why Kenner didn't make the open belly version first. The cynic in me wonders whether it was a deliberate ploy to try to sell the same toy twice! Or maybe they simply didn't think about it? However, if I had to guess, I'd say that because the toys had to be designed well in advance of their release, maybe the Kenner designers were working off preliminary images and information, and simply didn't know how Han would save Luke's life using the tauntaun in the film, and hence didn't include an opening belly. If anyone knows the actual answer, I'd love to hear it. [/QUOTE]
