The Kenner Blue Snaggletooth figure is a rare action figure from the original “Star Wars” Kenner line, released in 1978. Its creation was somewhat of an accident, originating from the limited reference material available to Kenner designers at the time. They only had a black and white, waist-up photograph to go by. Based on this, they crafted a figure with a blue uniform, long legs, boots, and gloves, which did not accurately represent the character Zutton as seen in the film.
This figure was part of the Sears “Star Wars Cantina Adventure Set” and became known informally as Blue Snaggletooth. Due to the lack of adequate reference photography, the sculptors at Kenner had to guess at the character’s full body shape and wardrobe. This led to the figure being taller and more blue than the character actually was. As a result of these discrepancies, the Blue Snaggletooth became a prized collector’s item. Recognising the mistake, Kenner later corrected the figure’s appearance by giving it a red jumpsuit instead
