Are you curious to learn about the inner workings of the Kenner Rancor? Our friends at ToyzMag.com have a great article (a translation by friend Julien M. follows if you click on this article title above) that shows all this and more! Take a look at this rare appearance of a prototype rancor!



Here's the translation, courtesy of Julien M.

Our good friend Jean found an amazing prototype of one the most iconic Star Wars vintage toy from Kenner : the Rancor Monster. Unpainted and slightely differing from the retail version, this Rancor is not welded and allows to see its internal mechanism.

We're still amazed by the simple mechanism that articulates the jaw, an action feature we used to love when we were kids.

Please note the black rubber band used for the arm articulations as well as the handwritted inscription on the feet.
