Kenner Ree Yees Action Figure: Overview

Ree Yees Figure Kenner Vintage

The Kenner Ree Yees was always a sturdy and dependable action figure. His feet are big enough to ensure that he stands upright with ease and his cow-like face and over-sized hands give him a great appearance bringing together a character who can be both comical and menacing at the same time.

Ree Yees's most memorable appearance in The Return of the Jedi is over-enthusiastically leaning over to watch the drama unfold in the Rancor Pit as Luke Skywalker and the Gamorrean Guard fight for their lives. It's not a scene that is very easy to create (happening as it does on two levels of Jabba's palace). However, Ree Yees always fitted in well amongst the vintage action figures as one of Jabba's courtiers even though he couldn't really be placed in context.

One of the most common areas of paint loss with the Ree Yees action figure appears to be on the black paint used for the stalks of his eyes.

Ree Yee's has one of the most striking blasters of all the vintage Kenner action figures with it being a similar gold colour to some of the detail on Jabba's thone such as the hookah pipe and bowl on the Jabba the Hutt Playset. Unfortunately, his blaster rifle is also one of the most brittle of all the vintage Star Wars weapons. The first one I had I snapped the tip off it and I keep picking up various other broken ones.

All Star Wars action figures, vehicles, collectibles and Star Wars toys shown on this website are the 3.75 inch scale and from my own private Star Wars collection unless otherwise stated. Where possible original vintage accessories have been used but in some instances I have placed Kenner Star Wars figures with either reproduction weapons and accessories or for Hasbro figures close approximations have been used. This is mostly the case for modern Star Wars lightsabers where the correct item can be very difficult to identify on some ocassions. Vintage Star Wars action figures are shown with their original weapon or accessory when I have them. When a vintage Kenner action figure is shown with an accessory which is not original I have tried to point this out where possible.

All of the Star Wars action figures shown were purchased second hand, usually incomplete, and in bulk. They have been reunited with their original weapons and accessories where we could get hold of them.
