Original Wax Sculpting for Unproduced Dagobah Luke Skywalker: This 4:1 wax sculpting representing Luke with Yoda on his back was made for the never-produced Dagobah World from Kenner's Micro Collection. It's sculpted entirely of a special blend of wax, and would have served as the master from which "4-up" hardcopies and, eventually, metal miniatures would have been manufactured. In this photo, you can just make out the pencil-drawn line between the figure's legs, which would have served to demarcate the "parting line," or the dividing point between the two halves of the silicon mold this would have been used to create.

You have to admit, this is a pretty neat figure, in part because it includes Yoda. Quite a few figures are now known from the Dagobah playset(s); hopefully, more will continue to surface.
