"Something like "Tonka" ???" Tsk, tsk, tsk, Hue! I should confiscate your STAR WARS geek card for that!
"Tonka"... Honestly... I think you have toy trucks on the brain!
The Tonnika Sisters were identical twins (Brea and Senni) who became infamous con artists. They often pretended to be just one woman, "Bresenni".
The women earned fame for being in the Mos Eisley Cantina when Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi first met Han Solo. The truth is that the "Tonnika sisters" that were in the Cantina were actually IMPOSTERS. It was the Mistryl Shadow Guard warriors Shada D'ukal and Karoly D'ulin, who were masquerading as Brea and Senni while they were on a mission.
Now as for why we do NOT have action figures of them yet, Hasbro insists that these two characters WILL NEVER BE MADE, and they politely refuse to provide the reason why.
It is speculated in the collecting community that one of the two actresses (Christine Hewitt and/or Angela Staines) has not signed away their likeness rights to Lucasfilm/Hasbro to allow this figure to be created.
Now, Ms Hewitt passed away in September of 2007 and her estate has purportedly still not granted permission for her likeness to be used in a Hasbro action figure.
Personally, I find this reasoning to be a bunch of bull... but that's just MY opinion.
Anyway THAT's who the characters are, and why (sort of / supposedly) we do not have action figures of them.
Okay now... where is my ultimate STAR WARS geek prize?
