POTF2 European
Photo Archive update finishes today with the third and last
assortment of Large Photo Cards:
Snowtrooper,
Tarkin,
Emperor's Royal
Guard and
Weequay. It makes
a total of 9 Large Photo Cards. Due to their specific design that is
very different from the American card with slide, many collectors are
still today looking for them.

Bossk. He must have
eliminated a couple of his bounty hunters colleagues before arriving
in Europe because Zuckuss and Dengar never reached the old continent.
Only IG-88 from the

4-Lom followed him.

they were really found in abundance from November when stores were
putting on shelves the toys ordered for Christmas.

POTF2 European

Shadows Of The
Empire European cards. When American cards were purple, European
ones kept the red color and added a hologram sticker. Princess Leia
Organa in Boushh Disguise did not belong to this wave but was produced
the following year on a green card. So
Prince Xizor,
Luke Skywalker (in
Imperial Guard Disguise),
Chewbacca (in
Bounty Hunter Disguise) and
Dash Rendar
arrived for a short time in a few countries (the UK, Germany but not
France) which make them relatively difficult to find today.

with
Han Solo

European collectors were wondering why Hasbro did not replace him
later by other characters like Mon Mothma, Luke Ceremonial or
Oorimarko (Prune Face) who have never been released in Europe.

POTF2 European Archive: Conclusion
05/14/2004 01:51 AMWe have finished to present the POTF2 European Photo Archive. Indeed
the assortment of figures from the classic trilogy with Commtech chips
was not released in Europe because Hasbro Europe was giving priority
to the Episode 1 figures. As requested by some Rebelscum readers and
also to help collectors, we have listed all POTF2 basic figures never
released on European packaging.

(Obi-Wan) Kenobi. The design of European cards moved with the
Flashback line to two similar but different cards. One for North
Europe countries with 4 languages (English, German, French and Dutch)
and the second one for South Europe countries with 4 languages too
(German, French, Spanish and Italian). It meaned also that it was the
end of the Italian cards. Rebelscum presents for the moment only the
South Europe cards.

European Photo Archive update presents the first figures on brand
new European design:
Luke Skywalker
(Bespin),
Han
Solo (Bespin Gear) and
Endor Rebel
Soldier. These cards are called "Large Photo Cards" because there
is a large picture of the character instead of the Freeze Frame used
on American cards. The strip of colour at the bottom of the card
indicating the collection number was also added.

POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Bootlegs
06/18/2004 04:51 AMBefore we finish up our
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives series of updates, we open up a new section of
unofficial
Bootleg figures.
Based on the early waves, these figures have bad paint jobs, incorrect
colors, and generic cardbacks. But they do make for a fun addition to
my collection. This gallery is by no means complete, and if the
interest is there, we may add more of these in the future.
POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Droids
POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Droids
06/01/2004 10:32 AMToday's update to our
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives focuses on the various mechanical beings found in the
Star Wars universe...Droids! They come in all shapes and sizes,
performing a variety of functions, and usually make life easier for
their creators. Protocol droids such as
C-3PO are
invaluable when dealing with aliens. Injured lifeforms can always
count on medical droids like
2-1B to speed their
recovery. The
ASP-7
Droid is equipped for menial labor, usually at local spaceports.
The RA-7 series
Death Star
Droid was mostly used for spying missions, along with the small
MSE-6 series "mouse droid." And every pilot needs a good astromech
droid, like
R5-D4, although it's
a good idea to check their motivators.

06/15/2004 12:30 AMToday's

individually, some sets contained exclusive cardbacks that were not
available through any other means.

06/17/2004 12:14 AMBecause it's not
all about action figures, today's

the

toy versions of blasters and lightsabers to the
Miscellaneous
gallery that has everything from carry cases, Collector Fleet ships,
games, figure makers, Freeze Frames, and those plush Star Wars
Buddies.

POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Playsets
06/06/2004 12:32 AMToday's update in our
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives features something that we don't see much of these
days: playsets! Complete with action features, projectiles, and
footpegs to hold various 3¾" figures, collectors can re-create scenes
from the Classic Trilogy. Free the princess during the
Detentio
n Block Rescue and swing to freedom in a daring
Death
Star Escape from
A New Hope. When winter comes, head
outside and set up in the snow for a
Hoth Battle
from
The Empire Strikes Back. Take a trip to the woods and
break into the shield generator bunker in an
Endor Attack
from
Return of the Jedi. While not the most movie-accurate,
these playsets do provide an interesting way to display your
collection.

Stormtroopers
POTF2 Photo Archives Update:
Stormtroopers
05/17/2004 02:54 AMContinuing our series of updates to our
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives, we go all the way back to the beginning of the line to
one of the first figures.
Han Solo
(Stormtrooper Outfit) was available exclusively as a mail-in offer
from Kellogg's Froot Loops cereal beginning in the summer of 1995. And
because you can never have too many Stormtroopers in your action
figure army, look for the
Deluxe Crowd Control
Stormtrooper as well, one of the first Expanded Universe figures
in the line long before the term was even used.
POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Han Solo
POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Han Solo
05/18/2004 02:49 PMToday's update to our
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives shows the different sides of the captain of the
Millennium Falcon, Han Solo. Whether he's hard at work with his
Smuggler Flight
Pack, negotiating a deal with
Jabba the Hutt,
flirting with
Princess Leia
on Cloud City, or just kicking back in the
Millennium Falcon
CD-ROM Playset, the hard-working Corellian is just shows how busy
the life of a scoundrel can really be.

POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Stuff I
Forgot
08/21/2004 04:34 PMToday features a few leftover updates from our
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives series. Not that I forgot them neccessarily, but it
seems that I customized my original
R2-D2 with New
Features and
Chewbacca as
Boushh's Bounty! Oops...so I had to acquire replacements. In
addition, I never got the Target-exclusive
Y-Wing Fighter, but
a friend of mine was able to score one for me, so at last our 3¾"POTF2
archives update is complete. Thanks to Paul and Marion for hooking me
up!

Power of the
Force 2 Photo Archives update features the agents of the Empire.
The
Death
Star Trooper commands death squads of Stormtroopers into battle
against enemy forces. Field promotions are commonplace in the Imperial
navy, such as when
Captain Piett was
promoted to Admiral. Imperial pilots begin their service flying a
TIE Fighter,
but the most skilled among them can become a
Cruisemissile
Trooper in aerial assaults. Such is the life of an Imperial
soldier in service to
Emperor
Palaptine.

POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Rebel
Vehicles
06/03/2004 12:43 AMToday's
Power of the
Force 2 Photo Archives update features the vehicles of the Rebel
Alliance. For space combat missions, nothing beeats the
X-Wing Fighter for
aerial dogfights.
Luke Skywalker's Red
Five X-Wing Fighter has earned a place of honor for delivering the
final blow against the Death Star. But when fighting an atmospheric
battle on cold-weather planets, the
Rebel
Snowspeeder works best, especially when combatting AT-ATs.

Force
POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Blizzard
Force
06/04/2004 12:56 AMWhen the Empire strikes back, it doesn't hold back. Today's
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives update focuses on General Veers' Blizzard Force assault
squad. None can stand against the mighty
Imperial AT-AT
Walker, skillfully piloted by the
AT-AT Driver
team of highly-trained troops. Running Assisting the strike force is
the
Imperial
AT-ST, or Scout Walker, which can cover more ground in half the
time. Locating the rebel scum can be tricky, however, so a deluxe
Probe Droid
is sent out to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, providing
long-range scanning.

Vehicles
POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Tatooine
Vehicles
06/05/2004 01:14 AMFor today's
Power of the
Force 2 Photo Archives update, we travel back to the desolate
desert world of Tatooine, where getting off the planet is hard, but
getting around on the planet is a little easier with the right
vehicle. For travelling across the Dune Sea, many moisture farmers use
a
Landspeeder.
For short flights through Beggar's Canyon, the young wannabe pilots
often fly a
T-16
Skyhopper, which has controls similar to that of other spacecraft
and is perfect to bullseye womp rats.
