My Bossk and my Snagletooth figures used to partner up and make all kind of mischief. Fortunately, Bespin Luke (my very favorite figure, followed closely by Anakin Skywalker in Shaw's likeness), along with Bespin Han and Bespin Leia (what can I say, the Bespin line was pure quality), always saved the day and threw the fanged duo into into a shoe box with slits cut in it to represent prison bars. Damn, I want to be a kid again! Life is too complicated now. :(

As for Lobot, he is pretty cool. None of my Star Wars figure collecting friends had him when I was a kid, and for some reason we couldn't find him in stores. We would always look at the back of the packaging and say, "I really want that guy!" pointing at Lobot. But none of us ever got him. Sometime in my teens I happened into a pawn shop and saw him for $10 bucks and snatched him up, finally, I had found our holy grail of Star Wars figures. I couldn't wait to tell the two SW figure collecting friends from childhooh who I still hung out with that I had finally managed to get a Lobot! I was sure they were going to be so jealous of me, I had fricken Lobot! The very next time I saw them burst out the news with great excitement, I had purchased an authentic Lobot! A Lobot guys! A Lobot! And they just shrugged it off and we went back to talking about video games and boobs.
