Kenner's Snaggletooth Action Figure

This 1979 figure was originally meant to be designed after the Snivvian creature seen in the cantina scene in Star Wars. However, the initial version Kenner made that was included with the Sears Cantina Playset was tall with a blue suit and big silver boots, which looked nothing like that particular Snivvian. So for their second version (the one sold on a card), Kenner created a new Snaggletooth... this time much shorter with a red jumpsuit and furry, clawed feet. But this version still wasn't like the one in Star Wars. All but the furry hands and feet were taken right out of a still photo of Zutmore from the Star Wars Holiday Special, and the package even used a similar photo on the front. This made this figure unofficially the first toy from the Holiday Special: Snaggletooth, aka Zutmore.
