Vintage Rancor Monster Figure by Kenner

This is the original Rancor monster figure, and it’s really quite impressive for the time. It’s impressively large, and has a decent action feature (press the button on his back to make his mouth open and close).

The paint is a little plain (basically it’s all just brown plastic with a couple of painted accents like the teeth and eyes) but that was the norm for the time. I don’t think I ever actually had this toy as a child, so it was nice to pick this up on ebay a few weeks ago.

Here’s the original commercial that aired in Britain. I can’t seem to find if there was an American equivalent.
