Episode 463 - Star Wars Deleted Scene Figures

Today on GeekFest Rants we take another look at Star Wars action figures.  This time around join Carlos as we focus on figures from the original trilogy based on deleted scenes.  Star Wars and Return of the Jedi seem to have them mostly but we also see how The Book of Boba Fett brought back a old deleted scene location and it's characters into full blown cannon status. Just when you thought you could not go back to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters, Tosche Station is still there.
