Saelt-Marae Yak Face 1997 Kenner Star Wars Power Of The Force Action Figure NEW
It was a grueling two year wait for Kenner/Hasbro to produce a long-awaited modern update to the elusive 1985 POTF Yak Face action figure. The original was an international exclusive, never
making its way to the USA officially. It had to be imported by
collectors to get here, although evidence, and not only an urban legend,
has proven that Tri-Logo Yak Face action figures made their way to KB
Toys in the USA. As one of the most obscure figures from the entire
vintage Kenner era, collectors couldn’t wait for Kenner/Hasbro to
produce a modern update that would be closer to screen accuracy when it
comes to size and appearance. They succeeded. With a name change from
the Expanded Universe and a new outfit, Saelt-Marae (Yak Face) enters The Power Of The Force “2” like with a warm welcome from Star Wars collectors everywhere. The figure shares many similarities to 1985’s POTF Yak Face
Kenner figure, but also introduces new aspects including more color.
Although it’s hard to tell how screen-accurate the new inflections are,
we believe they did their due diligence to make the best action figure
possible. No matter what, Kenner/Hasbro has done a great job of
translating this character into the modern line. Saelt-Marae (Yak Face)
is tall without being lanky and colorful without being obnoxious. In
short, the figure is a wonderful addition to the basic figure line.
