Empire Strikes Back Ugnaught
Described as "Tusk from Ugnaught" in Sears Canada catalog advertisements, the Ugnaught is one of the very rarest of these odd "shrinkwrapped" figures, which were sold for a short time through Canadian Sears outlets. As these figures were bundled inside a larger multi-figure package, their individual packaging is non-descript, consisting of a black, blank-backed blister card, to which the figures and their accessories are tightly attached under clear plastic. While the catalog entries indicate that a fair number of figures were planned for release with these Canadian multi-packs, only a handful of characters have been found in this style of packaging. I believe the Ugnaught shown here is the only known example of this particular figure.
