I added a few new acquisitions to our facebook album today documenting my personal “Carded” Vintage Kenner Collection Project. As you’ll see, I scored a totally wrecked TESB Lobot for a mere $6.01 as well has two Klaatu figures for under $10 each.

VC34 Jango Fett
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Jango Fett from the Vintage Collection’s Attack of the Clones wave (Wave 4).
PROS: Pretty much the definitive Jango in terms of sculpt and accessories. Re-worked, scene specific gauntlets are a nice touch as is the new jetpack and missile.
CONS: The gauntlet blades are not removable (i.e. they are deployed all the time). Overall color of the jumpsuit seems to still be “off” a bit but it’s a vast improvement over the grape flavored version included in the recent Geonosis Arena set.
