As you are all aware, this figure is a repack of the Greedo included with the Mos Eisley Cantina HasLab. This time the card mimics the film-out of the original Kenner card, and it does not include the bar glass. Bret’s review, and most of the pics from the Cantina has been cut and pasted here, followed by some new commentary from me. -Chris
Bret’s Review 09/16/2025:
Greedo was the figure I was least interested in. Not only do we have multiple versions (3 sculpts and 6 releases were produced in the first 11 years of the line), the most recent version (VTSC from 2006) was pretty good, even if you didn’t like the felty(pern) vest. I was content with living with that Greedo for the rest of my life, and was annoyed that a HasLab slot was going to this guy. Then I saw the prototype images during the campaign, and immediately realized how much more awesome he was than any previous version. Again (beating that dead horse), I would still have preferred a debut character, but this new Greedo is a joy to behold. The sculpt is nothing short of phenomenal. I would assume some folks may think that something is off with the shape or size of the face/eyes, kind of like Ponda Baba, but I think he’s perfect. The vest is removable, should you desire to do so, but he doesn’t have the easter egg blaster shot in his chest like the 1999 CommTech figure - which is fine by me. He’s got a blaster that fits perfectly in either his right hand or the holster, and he comes with a bar glass. The only thing that might be a bit off is that I feel the fingers on his left hand are longer than those of his right hand. I’m certainly not deducting points for this, but if I focus on his hands, they do seem a little off. The only thing I regret is that he doesn’t have a CommTech chip that says, “Maclunkey!” Just having him stand there, he is one of the best looking figures I’ve seen in a very long time. 10/10.
Chris’s Updated Commentary 04/03/2026:
My favorite subset of my carded Vintage Collection collection is far and away the Cantina figures. I’m going to be antsy until we get carded releases of Arleil Schous and Labria. As I’ve mentioned several times, I vividly remember when the Kenner line expanded from 12 to 20/21 figures. It captured my imagination like no other toy line had to that point. It confirmed that we wouldn’t be locked into the core heroes and villains. The weirdos were now options. Greedo was one of my favorite releases from those new eight figures for both on-screen reasons and sentimental reasons. Unlike Bret, I was thrilled to finally get a definitive Greedo with the Cantina, but I was left wanted the original Kenner card. This 2026 release finally scratches that itch. This will probably be the acquisition that brings me the most joy throughout the year. That’s how much I love the Cantina.
