Point of Interest[edit | edit source]

Originally named 'Sand People' on the Star Wars card, this figure was also named 'Sandpeople' on The Empire Strikes Back cards, and changed name on the Return of the Jedi card to 'Tusken Raider (Sand People).' Finally, the Tri-logo card lists the figure as 'Tusken Raider (Sand People) (Hommes des Sables).'

Variations[edit | edit source]

Though all vintage figures have minor variations, the Tusken Raider's only major variation was a slightly resculpted head with hollow cheek tubes. To date, the hollow tube variation has only appeared on cards from Return Of The Jedi. No carded examples on either Star Wars or Empire Strikes Back card have been found.
