So cool. I was looking for this for a while. I had the privilege to live with a close friend for 4 years , who happened to be in the original Star Wars playing as the Original Tusken Raider. He was an elephant trainer at Marine World in the Bay Area at the time and was asked to play a Tusken Raider and his elephant Mardji to be the Bantha. Before I moved away I had asked him if he could sign a couple figures that I had collected. I'm very grateful for them now because he had shortly passed away a couple years ago. Thanks for being a great friend and RIP Robert "Bob" Spiker , you are missed. The movie picture on the back is him with his elephant. Thanks for the in depth view of the toy very sweet
