Photo Archives: VOTC Yoda 08/20/2004 10:53 AM
Our Photo Archives is updated with the next in the new special Vintage-style Original Trilogy Collection figures from The Empire Strikes Back. The ultimate version of Yoda, this figure perfectly captures every detail of the Jedi Master. Pose him limping through the swamps of Dagobah, using the Force to lift sunken ships, or showing off his sexy legs (that's right---legs!), this figure can do it all!

Our Photo Archives is updated today with Yoda in his "Dagobah Training" gear. Complete with a break-apart body and backpack, this figure from Original Trilogy Collection is ready to prove that size doesn't matter when your ally is the Force in The Empire Strikes Back.

Photo Archives: Holiday Edition Yoda 10/29/2003 05:01 PM
Chirstmas even comes to Dagobah, if this Holiday Edition Yoda figure is any indication. The diminutive Jedi Master uses his vast Force powers in our Photo Archives today in order to help Santa Claus deliver his presents. This set comes with a special card featuring the original Ralph McQuarrie painting that inspired the figure, as well as a display stand covered in snow.

Photo Archives: Clone Wars Yoda Maquette

Photo Archives: Clone Wars Yoda Maquette 08/28/2004 01:16 PM
The Clone Wars continues in our Photo Archives today with the first in a series of maquettes from Gentle Giant. The first offering is the most powerful and wise Jedi Master in the galaxy, Yoda, who seems rather preoccupied as he tries to unravel the mystery of the Sith.

Today's Photo Archives update is the second of several exclusives that were available at the debut of Revenge of the Sith toys. The Toys "R" Us exclusive Holographic Yoda (Kashyyyk Transmission) was mostly a no-show during Midnight Madness, but the Jedi Master has made his way back for a free limited engagement, even if he had to phone in his performance.

POTF2 European Photo Archive: Yoda 04/14/2004 01:07 AM
The POTF2 European Photo Archive update closes the third European wave with one of the oldest characters of the Star Wars Universe: Yoda.

POTF2 European Photo Archive: Yoda And
Chewbacca Flashback 05/13/2004 06:37 AM
Today's POTF2 European Photo Archive update closes the Flashback line with Yoda and Chewbacca (Hoth). The second Flashback wave with Aunt Beru, C-3PO (Removable Arm) and Anakin Skywalker (Adult), initially scheduled, was cancelled in Europe.

Vintage Photo Archives: 4-LOM

Vintage Photo Archives: 4-LOM 11/14/2003 01:20 AM
Most vintage collectors will argue to no end that Kenner's vintage Star Wars line was flawless, but even the most die-hard out there will agree that the toymaker did mess up once. The mistake in question deals partially with the 4-LOM action figure. It seems that the hard working people at Kenner had somehow mixed his and Zuckuss's names up. As a result, to vintage collectors, today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive will always be 4-LOM. But for those of you that read this column daily, it is, of course, all old news…

LEGO Photo Archives 12/19/2003 11:31 AM
A new Star Wars LEGO photo archive section has been created, and we are launching it with the a showcase on the LEGO Writing system pens.

Photo Archives: OTC Snowtrooper

Photo Archives: OTC Snowtrooper 08/27/2004 01:38 PM
Our Photo Archives is updated today with the Original Trilogy Collection version of the Empire's Blizzard Force footsoldier, Snowtrooper from The Empire Strikes Back. This time around, this figure has a slightly darker jumpsuit, although the accessories remain as deadly as ever.

Photo Archives: OTC TIE Fighter

Photo Archives: OTC TIE Fighter 06/02/2004 01:26 PM
Our Original Trilogy Collection Photo Archives gets its first official entry today with the "new" version of the TIE Fighter. This vehicle is the same version as last year's Saga release, only this time there is no pilot included. Look for the TIE Fighter Pilot to come separately later this year.

Photo Archives: OTC Greedo

Photo Archives: OTC Greedo 08/23/2004 06:54 AM
Our Photo Archives is updated today with the Original Trilogy Collection version of the Rodian bounty hunter Greedo. While the debate continues as to who shot first in that Mos Eisley Cantina scene from A New Hope, the end result is the same...poor Greedo is still dead.

Vintage Photo Archives: 8D8

Vintage Photo Archives: 8D8 12/15/2003 02:28 AM
How is it that 8D8, a mute white robot that looks like it belongs on a Pete Townsend album cover could be a popular action figure? Well, in the case of 8D8, there is the whole Star Wars character angle, plus like many kids, this guy liked taking out his aggressions on pool little Power Droids. So it would seem a no-brainer… Well, except that today's addition to the Vintage Photo Archive wasn’t really a popular action figure. Chances are, anyone with hours on their hands (like any toy collector doesn’t have too much of that) could probably still find a couple of these carded at their local mom and pop toy store. Hint: Look behind the Bionic Six action figures in the discount bin.

Photo Archives: OTC Spirit Obi-Wan

Photo Archives: OTC Spirit Obi-Wan 07/08/2004 12:14 PM
Today's Photo Archives update continues the "Dagobah Training" theme with Spirit Obi-Wan who comes back from the dead in The Empire Strikes Back to watch over his pupil. Old Ben shimmers and glows spectacularly as part of the Original Trilogy Collection.

Vintage Photo Archives: EV-9D9

Vintage Photo Archives: EV-9D9 01/05/2004 02:25 AM
Believe it or not, EV-9D9, the creepy tobacco throated droid from Jabba’s Palace, was actually a female droid! Yes, that’s right, in the old days of Star Wars today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive shared the pages of the annual ‘Hot Chicks In A Galaxy Far, Far Away…’ calendar. Humana. Humana. Humana.

Photo Archives: Unleashed Chewbacca

Photo Archives: Unleashed Chewbacca 02/13/2004 12:09 PM
Our Photo Archives is updated today with the Unleashed Chewbacca figure from A New Hope. Proving that it's not wise to upset a Wookiee, the co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon growls in a berserker rage at anyone who threatens those under his protection.

Vintage Photo Archives: Lumat

Vintage Photo Archives: Lumat 01/02/2004 02:23 AM
Technically speaking, Lumat was the last figure released as a Return Of The Jedi figure in North American. This little scrapper and Paploo were the only new figures to see release on the Return Of The Jedi 79 back card, which was the last card back before The Power Of The Force line debuted. Since today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive is pictured after Paploo, and he didn’t get to do anything as cool as scoff a Speeder Bike, he gets the honour.

Photo Archives: Thermal Detonators 01/16/2004 11:05 AM
When Princess Leia disguised herself as the Ubese bounty hunter Boushh, she brought along a little insurance to bargain with. Our Master Replicas Photo Archives is updated today with three versions of the Thermal Detonator: an As First Built Edition, a Limited Edition and a Signature Edition autographed by none other than Carrie Fisher, the actress who portrayed the Rebel Alliance leader in the Classic Trilogy.

Photo Archives Update: OTC Cardbacks

Photo Archives Update: OTC Cardbacks 09/02/2004 12:05 PM
It's all about the packaging with the Original Trilogy Collection this year. Not only do we get the cards we've always wanted to buy, but we also get the cards the toy designers have always wanted to make! As I've been getting luckier with my toy hunts recently, I've been scanning in the cardbacks to show off the great backgrounds that are part of this line. I don't have them all yet, but what I have scored has been added to our Photo Archives today.

Vintage Photo Archives: Bib Fortuna

Vintage Photo Archives: Bib Fortuna 12/02/2003 12:27 AM
Even though he lived in a nice house in a neighbourhood pretty close to the bright center of the galaxy, Bib Fortuna got teased a lot when he was in junior high. As if it isn’t awkward enough for the poor guy to put up with the challenges of puberty whilst dealing with the fact that he’d never win any beauty contests, today's addition to the Vintage Photo Archive had to deal with having a name that was simply begging to be used against him. It’s no wonder the young wallflower grew up to hang out with smelly do-no-gooders with down right silly names on the planet furthest from.

Vintage Photo Archives: Lobot

Vintage Photo Archives: Lobot 10/31/2003 01:41 AM
Perhaps the vintage Lobot action figure isn't as exciting as, say, either of the Bespin guards or the Cloud Car pilot, but he certainly was an intriguing character in the film, and that likely had a lot to do with today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive’s success on the toy shelves-- That or maybe it was the fancy shirts he had a proclivity for wearing that Star Wars fans went nuts for.

Photo Archives: Skirmish At Carkoon

Photo Archives: Skirmish At Carkoon 06/08/2004 04:28 AM
Our Photo Archives is updated today with the Skirmish at Carkoon multipack, featuring a trio of Jabba's Skiff Guards, a kit-bashed Han Solo, and a Sail Barge Cannon. Watch these guys get swallowed up by the Sarlacc from the scene in Return of the Jedi.

Photo Archives: Medal of Yavin

Photo Archives: Medal of Yavin 02/13/2004 12:52 AM
Our Master Replicas Photo Archives is updated today with the perfect reward for heroes of the Rebel Alliance. The Medal of Yavin shown here is a prototype of the finished product, as you'll see in the plaque. Now collectors can have their own ceremonial scene from A New Hope...space princess not included.

Photo Archives: Imperial Shuttle

Photo Archives: Imperial Shuttle 11/03/2003 01:01 AM
The Imperial Shuttle makes an unscheduled landing today in our Photo Archives. Originally appearing in Return of the Jedi, then retroactively snuck into the special edition of The Empire Strikes Back, this vehicle transports high-ranking officials across the galaxy and features adjustable wings, landing gear, and room for the Emperor and his entourage.

Photo Archives: Stormtrooper Blaster

Photo Archives: Stormtrooper Blaster 02/07/2005 01:09 AM
Today we update our Master Replicas Photo Archives with the BlasTech E-11 Blaster Pistol, or the Stormtrooper Blaster, which was used by the soldiers of the Empire in A New Hope.

Vintage Photo Archives: Amanaman

Vintage Photo Archives: Amanaman 01/22/2004 02:13 AM
Virtually unheard of in the vintage line, the Amanaman action figure is actually a little too large to be the correct scale. Nonetheless, with it’s ultra accurate sculpt and paint job, not to mention the staff ‘o heads, today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive is one of the greatest achievements in the entire Kenner collection.

Photo Archives: OTC Cloud Car Pilot

Photo Archives: OTC Cloud Car Pilot 07/14/2004 03:19 AM
Our Photo Archives is updated today with one of the most-requested characters from The Empire Strikes Back...the Cloud Car Pilot! Loaded with multiple points of articulation, a removable helmet, and tons of detail for his Original Trilogy Collection debut, there's really only one question left on his mind...."Dude, where's my car?"

Photo Archives: VOTC Obi-Wan Kenobi

Photo Archives: VOTC Obi-Wan Kenobi 07/15/2004 03:38 AM
Our Photo Archives is updated with the next in the new special Vintage-style Original Trilogy Collection figures from A New Hope. The ultimate version of Obi-Wan Kenobi, this figure perfectly captures every detail of the crazy old hermit-turned-Jedi Master. Pose him scaring off sandpeople, disabling a tractor beam, or dueling a dark lord, this figure can do it all!

Photo Archives: OTC R2-D2 (Dagobah

Photo Archives: OTC R2-D2 (Dagobah
Training) 07/09/2004 08:26 AM
"Dagobah Training" ends today in our Photo Archives update, which features the loyal astromech droid R2-D2. This Original Trilogy Collection figure includes special lights and all-new sounds, all dirty and grimy from the scene in The Empire Strikes Back.

Photo Archives: VOTC Han Solo

Photo Archives: VOTC Han Solo 07/09/2004 01:54 AM
Our Photo Archives adds the first in the new special Vintage-style Original Trilogy Collection figures, this time from A New Hope. The ultimate version of Han Solo, this figure perfectly captures every detail of the cocky Corellian captain of the Millennium Falcon. Pose him in the cockpit, firing at a squad of Stormtroopers, or blasting bounty hunters in the Mos Eisley Cantina, this figure can do it all!

Vintage Photo Archives: Yak Face

Vintage Photo Archives: Yak Face 01/23/2004 03:58 AM
Much like the Vinyl Cape Jawa and Blue Snaggletooth, Yak Face will always be a famous and sought after Star Wars collectible, both from die-hard collectors in the Star Wars community and outside as well. Though considered to be quite rare, eBay has proven to have them available in fairly decent quantities on a nearly daily basis. Nonetheless, it’s perceived to be unbelievably rare –which isn’t all together true- and therefore warrants higher than average prices. On a side note, with this post we finish the first part of our Vintage Photo Archive. Be sure to check out part two coming this summer to a galaxy near you…

Vintage Photo Archives: Romba

Vintage Photo Archives: Romba 01/08/2004 07:14 PM
Romba was a good looking Ewok and he knew it. When compared to all his mates, he’s the only one who doesn’t look like a creepy pint-sized rag-wearing bear with a sharp stick, a fact that likely makes today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive popular with all the Ewok hotties. Maybe that’s why this handsome pint-sized rag-wearing bear with a sharp stick always had a smile on his face.

Vintage Photo Archives: Zuckuss

Vintage Photo Archives: Zuckuss 11/13/2003 01:59 AM
Most vintage collectors will argue to no end that Kenner's vintage Star Wars line was flawless, but even the most die-hard out there will agree that the toymaker did mess up once. The mistake in question deals partially with the Zuckuss action figure. It seems that the hard working people at Kenner had somehow mixed his and 4-LOM's names up. As a result, to vintage collectors, today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive will always be Zuckuss.

Photo Archives: R-3PO (Hoth Evacuation)

Photo Archives: R-3PO (Hoth Evacuation) 11/13/2003 12:28 PM
The Hoth Evacuation begins in our Photo Archives today as the Empire attacks the hidden Rebel base, as seen in The Empire Strikes Back. Protocol Droid R-3PO is determined to not get left behind, but he'll have to be quick to catch the last Rebel Transport.

Vintage Photo Archives: Too-Onebee
(2-1B) 11/04/2003 02:01 AM
Sure the vintage 2-1B action figure was Johnny-on-the-spot whenever a farm boy needed to get some serious plastic surgery or a new bio-mechanic hand, but what has he done for the Rebellion lately? More than you know pal, more than you'll ever know! For instance, whom do you think the Rebels turn to on New Year's Eve for a designated driver? Who do you think shovels the walks on the Hoth base and scrubs the moss of the Ewok suspension bridges on the Forest moon of Endor? That's right, the good old medical droid, that's who. Today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive doesn't mind much though, since it keeps the Rebels off his precious collection of medical gurneys.

Vintage Photo Archives: Warok

Vintage Photo Archives: Warok 01/12/2004 01:50 AM
One would figure that after seven Ewoks, Kenner would have finally been able to get it out of their system, but alas, as this figure proves nothing could be further from the truth. Mind you, one has to wonder what the point of adding Warok to the collection. For the most part, he is nothing more than a better made version of a figure that came out a few month’s earlier (Lumat). From that point of view however, it may be that today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive was only the herald to the way of life Star Wars collectors would have to adapt to ten years later…

Vintage Photo Archives: Paploo

Vintage Photo Archives: Paploo 01/01/2004 01:03 AM
Along with his good buddy Teebo, Paploo here owned the ewok Village… at least according the Return Of the Jedi novel. Sadly, for whatever reason, today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive is represented as nothing g more than a nameless character in the film. Well, a nameless character who stole a speeder Bike and essentially gave the Rebel Alliance the ability to deaf the Evil Galactic Empire that is.

Photo Archives: Holiday Sandtrooper

Photo Archives: Holiday Sandtrooper 12/28/2004 05:08 PM
As the saying goes, it is far better to give than receive. Gentle Giant Studios goes beyond the call of duty this year with a very gracious gift to those that have helped support their Star Wars line and we are honored to officially add this treasure to our Photo Archives today. While not technically part of their Mini-Bust line, the Holiday Edition Silver and Gold Sandtrooper is destined to become one of the most desirable Star Wars collectibles of all time. Click through to see why.
