Bad Robot(s)! (Vintage Zuckuss, Vintage Stormtroopers, Vintage IG-88)
The vintage Zuckuss action figure is just mired in intrigue. It appears that operatives at the Kenner factory botched their intel and named the 4-LOM action figure ‘Zuckuss’ (while naturally naming the Zuckuss action figure ’4-LOM’). Would the ill-tempered Lord Vader be pissed if he’d caught wind of this mess? You bet your ass. Did anyone in Cincinnati lose their job over it? Well I doubt it.
It took quite a bit of searching on my part to find out why my “4-Lom” action figure looked strikingly similar to my “Zuckuss.” Thanks for clearing the air.

Wow, I’m pretty sure that must be some sort of manufacturing error. Zuckuss had a robe. It’s almost like they stuck Zuckuss’ head onto 4-LOM’s body.
