Not Easy Being Green: Greedo Collectibles

Email Archives
September 10, 2009

By Pete Vilmur

Poor old Greedo. He's got the poorest point-blank aim of any bounty hunter in the galaxy, had his big cameo in The Phantom Menace cut, and since 1997, Han Solo's been calling him a twerp.

He may not be the galaxy's finest hired gun, but Greedo was the first bounty hunter the Star Wars saga served up (and shot down), and with next month's second season of Clone Wars -- Rise of the Bounty Hunters -- just around the corner, the time seems right for giving Greedo a, um, second shot.

We've gathered a handful -- and there's just a handful -- of Greedo merchandise produced throughout the years, starting with his rather noteworthy action figure debut in 1978. Greedo may not have been among the famous first 12 figures that launched the Star Wars action figure phenomenon, but he did make the second wave which followed a few months after, and was one of the first cantina-related collectibles ever released.
