Yak Face Reaches Out To Jedi Temple Archives!

Out of the blue, I received a lovely email from Sean Crawford, the man who played Saelt-Marae (Yak Face), commenting on our vintage Kenner The Power Of The Force Yak Face review. Click through to see what he had to say. We’re honored to hear from him.

Hello Paul

In my search for recent Retro coined Yak Face figure by Hasbro, I came upon your beautiful article about your Yak Face. 

I, like yourself, had no idea at the time that there was a figure of my Yak Face character and it was only many years later that I discovered the story of the figure.

I finally managed to purchase a lose one a year later from a trader at a show. He has been my pride and joy who takes prime position on my table on my convention travels. 

With a family to feed, water and educate the price of the POTF carded Yak Face has always eluded me, so it is always a great joy when I see one brought in by a collector. As I have not signed many vintage carded figures, I usually take a photo of the owner with their figure at the time.

Anyhow, I must carry on looking for that recent coined figure.

Take care and as I say, lovely story.

Sean
