Snaggletooth first appeared in the Mos Eisley Cantina scene in Star Wars: A New Hope. His original Kenner figure was released in a blue outfit and was in standard height. Kenner later revised the design, producing a shorter figure with a red outfit, but keeping the longer arms of the original toy. Both Snaggletooth versions have since become memorable and well-loved entries in the vintage Kenner Star Wars toyline.

I bought this particular Kubrick toy on my recent trip to Japan in May 2026. When I go to Japan, I never expect to find anything in particular. I try to just check toy stores thoroughly and hopefully find toys I’m looking for or didn’t know I needed until I saw them.
For this particular Kubrick figure, I can definitely say it was a very slow burn over the course of 10 years.
During some of my first trips to Japan, there was a store in Nakano Broadway that sells loose Gachapon toys and loose Kubricks for the longest time they had quite the collection of Star Wars Kubricks.
However, over time, that collection has been bought, and now they only have a few left. When I was in this store, I would always look at them and like what I saw, but didn’t want to collect more Kubricks, especially with all the chase figures normally available it can be a chore to collect them.
When I was in the store this time on my first day in Japan, after selling some unwanted toys to Mandarake. I came across Snaggletooth on one of the racks mixed in with other Kubricks. I looked at him, and I thought to myself, I’m buying this little guy and hopefully won’t get sucked into buying more.
I also ended up buying a Gentle Giant Jumbo vintage Kenner-style Snaggletooth, too, so I guess it was just a Snaggletooth-themed trip for me as far as Star Wars toys go.
SCULPTING
Snaggletooth is sculpted very well! The head really evokes the look of the original Kenner toy, which this toy is based on, and looks great! The main focus is the head, with the rest of the body having the typical simplified Kubrick charm. Or in this case, a chest overlay for added detail.
PAINT
The paint is mainly for the head and fine details on this figure. Where possible, he’s been cast in the colour he’s meant to be. Like most Kubricks, the paint is very neat. Without much slop at all. However, you might find the occasional blemish on the painted parts. Just make sure you can inspect the figure closely, if possible, before buying.
ARTICULATION
Snaggletooth has the standard Kubrick articulation: Swivel head, ball-jointed shoulders, swivel wrists, swivel waist, ball-jointed hips. It’s a reasonable amount of articulation if you just want to play around with him every now and then. But his standard pose will be the museum one, which suits Kubrick just fine.
ACCESSORIES
Snaggletooth comes with his Han Solo-style blaster pistol, and that’s it. It fits in his hand easily and looks great.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
I don’t think you will have any problems with this toy. This is a Kubrick Unbreakable toy after all! That means you can’t take him apart. So besides paint wear on the head or limbs. He’s not coming apart any time soon. I guess make sure you don’t lose his gun.
PRICE
I paid 2000 JPY for this particular Kubrick Snaggletooth, and I think that’s a pretty good price considering that other figures from the series go for much, much more.
OVERALL
This is a great little figure. It’s been a long time since I bought a Kubrick figure. But I’m glad I bought Snaggletooth as he has a lot of charm. He’s definitely great to have on any display shelf with other random toys, as he fits in very easily. The risk now would be starting to buy more Kubricks to go with him, and that becomes a very slippery slope very quick. Definitely worth picking up if you like Kubricks and Star Wars.
