Fun With Sand People
The Sand People in Star Wars are the nomadic scavenger desert thieves on the planet Tatooine. They were later renamed ‘Tusken Raiders’ since they found ‘Sand People’ to be politically incorrect (I think the Jawas were originally known as desert scavenger midgets). Read more about Tusken Raiders on Wookieepedia.

Sand People Action Figures

There are several Sand People action figures available on Amazon.com.
Original Kenner Toy
I had it, but I wasn’t a fan because his plastic robe easily tore off and his gaderffii easily snapped on the end. Later versions of him had a cloth robe.
Sand Women and Children
Hot, huh? Nomad gypsy women rock. Even better, there are action figures for the Tusken Raider Female with Tusken Child.

Marc Ecko T-Shirt
This shirt is hard to find now but it may come up on eBay. I’m surprised that there isn’t a Marc Ecko Tusken hoodie, like he did with Boba Fett.
