Yodas, you seek Yodas!

Well, not anymore!

Two more Yodas for my daughters collection via my recent flea market Star Wars haul! An Episode I and an Episode II Yoda. The first came with an exciting chair to sit in! Sadly (not sadly) unlike the Force, the chair wasn't with Yoda when I found him. Yoda part deux from Episode II originally had a lightsaber and a stand that elevated him and some electrical doohickeys. It would have been nice to have at least found him with his lightsaber but whatyagonnado?

I had both of these guys when they were new, so it's nice to see them again. Attack of the Clones Yoda is a bit cooler, as was his action scenes in that movie, but there's something endearing about static puppet Yoda from The Phantom Menace too. I should have taken a pic with an original Kenner Yoda but I always think of these things after the fact, so you'll just have to settle.

LEGO Greedo Minifigure (via Wald)

A few years back my step-son got the LEGO Podrace set 7962: Anakin's and Sebulba's Podracers. The podracers are a ridiculous component of a ridiculous movie, but they made for a pretty fun LEGO build. The set included Anakin's buddy Wald, who is about as useless as, well Greedo. But Greedo is cooler, so I stole Wald's head and put together a close approximation of Greedo's body.

Now I have the one-shot-wonder in all his Rodian minifigure glory! Oonta gooonta, Solo!
