Wizard of X
Jawa, Kenner, 1977
Generally when collectors think of Vintage Star Wars figures two numbers come to mind; the first 12 and the last 17. The Jawa here is part of the former released in late '77 early '78 depending on who you go by. He came in either a vinyl cape (similar to that of Old Ben save for the size) or the well-tailored cloth robe seen here. If I had to guess I'd say the cloth was a production change in order to offer the toy-buying parents of the lates '70s a little more bang for thier $2 seeing as he's so tiny a figure. Personally I sort of prefer them without any cape at all as the actual figure does the job nicely on its own, but nonetheless here he is in all his unabiding disgusting glory. This is actually one of my favorite figures from the Original 12 in general second to maybe the Stromtrooper.
