Also in our forums is an image showing that the new Snaggletooth has an integrated holster in his waistband on his back. Another very cool detail that Hasbro has worked into this all new figure. Head in our forums t0 check it out!
An image has turned up in our forums confirming speculation that there was more to the new Gonk than we realized. It appears that the top cover of the Gonk Droid is removable to reveal the inner workings. A fun little easter egg for sure!
