Vintage Klaatu by Kenner

When I was a kid, I’m sure we thought that “Klaatu” was a personal name (if we were aware of the figure’s name at all), but it’s actually the name of this race of aliens. Still, I tend to think of him as a single character. And considering that he’s a pretty minor presence in the movie, he’s had a surprising number of collectibles made for him (like this mug or the vintage Halloween costume that I have yet to acquire). He’s also one of the only minor characters to get two figures in the vintage line (this one and the “skiff guard” version).

As a figure, he’s not bad. I kind of like his soft goods skirt.
