(Wow that’s a fantastic mug!)

You got this. Getting the ticket/planning to go was a great step, and I'm sure you will be glad you went!

Alien turn around!

Would a Kenner toy name lie to you? And don’t forget those flipper hands (except in the shots when they switch to not being flipper hands)

Thanks! I don't have a great time estimate, for the ESB one I chipped away at it on random weekends over a period of many months. Then for the RotJ one, I spent about a week's worth of work editing the ESB one into RotJ proportions and replacing parts that were unique to one design or the other.

Fortunately I saw Battle for Endor before Caravan of Courage, so Cindel's family died before I got attached to them, and I avoided being scarred. :D
Some nice Blurrg concept art from it: www.facebook.com/VFXdig/posts...

The Zergling also does the inverse of the same thing, it has brown arms on top of a team-colored body, so when the arms overlap the body they also become team colored, so that their tiny color silhouette remains the same size and shape as they move. Again the remaster doesn't do this.

Hah! I also have seen that picture for years but never noticed, it's gotta be the chicken walker thing.

Yes, absolutely!
