![]() ![]() Droopy McCool can’t pose in every way you’ll want him too, but we should make it clear that you’re probably not going to care. It too has been sculpted beautifully and has been painted equally as well. We’re even impressed with his chidinkalu instrument. What this wash does to the figure is just incredible and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the final figure. You’ll find a wash that seeps into every crevice of his wrinkly and blubbery skin. What’s more, on top of a brilliant sculpt, Kenner gave Droopy McCool and illustrious paint job. His hands have been posed in an instrument holding friendly way and his pose sports a posture that is nearly identical to the film. Despite limited articulation, this is the Droopy McCool figure we have all been waiting so long to add into our collections. He of course represents the character from the Original Trilogy and he has been made in an almost divine way. When you look at the Barquin D’an/Droopy McCool Max Rebo Band Pair set, you’ll likely be immediately drawn to Droopy McCool if you’ve been a longtime collector. It was a great concept in all honesty, even if purists weren’t ready to embrace the new musicians that now would grace Return Of The Jedi from here on out. But all of it helped Kenner plan a line of Walmart exclusive figures called the Max Rebo Band Pairs which gave us the three original band members paired up with new 1997 Special Edition characters. Some of it worked, and some of it didn’t work. Sy Snootles, despite Lucasfilm forgetting to remove a far off visage of her old puppet version in the background as the camera pans into the court where the stage is, was replaced with CGI and then a bevy of new characters were added to help round out the band. ![]() Not only was the classic “Lapti Nek” ripped out of Return Of The Jedi, the whole sequence in the Special Edition almost felt like a new film altogether. ![]() Perhaps the most strikingly visual bridging of gaps was the “Jedi Rocks” new musical number in Jabba’s palace. With any toy line, newness is key, so Kenner wanted to focus on some of the newly added “things” that graced the revised versions of the classic films. Many of the products released between 19 focused on bridging the gap between the Original Trilogy and the Special Editions of the Original Trilogy. ![]()
