Japanese (Takara) Keshi Rubber Jawas


Pictured are Keshi Rubber Jawas produced by the Japanese Company Takara in 1978. The Jawas were produced in at least Ten different colors; Green, Yellow (Lite and Dark), Black, Blue, Orange, White, Translucent Blue, Translucent Red and Translucent Green. They are made of rubber and are flexible enough to be squeezed in ones hand.They were distributed/sold in vending machines and came carded with other rubber figures.
 
Here is an up close picture of the White, Black, Yellow and Translucent versions. As you might have noticed in the initial picture, they are larger than the other six Keshi Jawas. Considered the "White Whale" of Japanese Keshi, Large Takara figures are downright scarce and rival certain 12 backs in rarity. My hunt continues for the final one.
