Okay, most of the original Star Wars action figures were cool, and more will probably show up here, but how cool was Greedo? He was the ultimate all-purpose alien action figure toy. Sure, you could play Star Wars with him. But he was also the perfect guy to send into Snail City to do a little gastropod bounty hunting. He could even fill in as a particularly ugly bad guy in cops and robbers.
Snail City? Yes, I built a series of ramps and superhighways for snails in my yard one day. Not sure what I was expecting, but the snails didn't provide the action I was seeking, hence the price on their heads collected by Greedo.
