Thanks to sand troopers.com for the pics.

Wow!  I was NOT pleased with the last Jodo offering...

Well well well, K-Mart is still trying, eh?  Hmm.  This will make good Mando custom fodder, not to mention a loose Jodo Kast.  I wonder what the price point on this will be.

more than we'd *like* to pay...

Isnt that always the price point for all toys at Kmart.... more than we want to pay.
almost $8 for figs near me at Kmart.
Sad thing is they seem to have a few older figs I never got elsewhere and I am near breaking down and getting a few of them.

They shagged me for $8.50 a fig - Giran, Barge Gunner, and Major Panno.  Just a week ago.  But their comic pack was $2 less than WalMart, so I got their pack of Luke/Deena in black catsuits...

Definalty a step up from the first one, I never expected to see him again so this is kind of a suprize.  Even though its a bit more I will probably pick him up.

Yeah, me too.  Isn't that pitiful?

The packaging suggests this would be part of the TCW line, but there is no correlation that I am aware of.

Is this schmoe from a comic or a video game?

I believe his original appearance was in WEG's d6 SWRPG module, "Tattooine Manhunt,"as part of an NPC bad-guy bounty-hunter team.  Fett later killed him in a Dark Horse comic, "Twin Engines of Destruction," by dropping a building on Kast.  He also has his own card in (one of?) the SWCCG.

I passed on the last version as Hasbro used an inferior sculpt for him.  A great paint job just wasn't enough to warrant a purchase.  I might have picked this new one up but K-mart closed all its stores in my town.  Heck, I don't know if there's a K-mart within a hundred miles of me anymore.

sorry... I get excited about mandos....    :P

thanks doc, from that image it looks like it's going to be a repaint of the evolutions boba which we've seen single carded now too.  It should have the ball jointed torso joint.

the new head sculpt is definately interesting.  It'll be one for the collection on my shelf that's for sure...
