Chesko po kuta x'esta klenko, ya ooska!" So says today's
addition to our
Gentle Giant
Photo Archives. The Rodian bounty hunter never looked so good, as
this mini-bust of
Greedo clearly shows.
With his blaster hidden behind his back, he's ready to put those 'who
shot first?' rumors to rest once and for all.

Vintage Photo Archives: 8D8
12/15/2003 02:28 AMHow 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.

11/14/2003 01:20 AMMost 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

01/02/2004 02:23 AMTechnically speaking,
Lumat was the last

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

Paploo, and he didn’t get to do anything as

Vintage Photo Archives: Nikto
12/16/2003 01:56 AMDespite how simplistic the vintage
Nikto figure appears
to be, it is one of the most faithful sculpts to be found in the
Kenner line. As a matter of fact, save the yellow lines that
were on the character’s pants, today’s addition to the
Vintage Photo Archive
proves that the people at
Kenner were not only very concerned
with making top quality toys that best represented the film, they
wanted to make toys worthy of the children that they made the toys
for. There is little doubt that
Kenner ‘really did care’ about
more than the bottom line and it showed.

Vintage Photo Archives: Warok
01/12/2004 01:50 AMOne 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: The Emperor
12/19/2003 11:31 AMBefore he was known as
Darth Sidious, our boy went by simply
The Emperor. What
many people don’t realize though, is that this guy, who was once a
simple senator known as
Palpatine, had his motivations clearly
spelled out to the [soon-to-be]
Star Wars Generation before any
of the films were even released. As a matter of fact, Sci-Fi fans who
picked up the
Star Wars: From The Adventures Of Luke Skywalker
novel ‘written’ by George Lucas in 1976, were privy to the underlining
plot of
The Phantom Menace months before
A New Hope was
released. The book had a small prologue called
The Journal Of The
Whills, which for the most part is all about today’s addition to
the
Vintage Photo
Archive. Facts are kooky.

12/02/2003 12:27 AMEven 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.

10/31/2003 01:41 AMPerhaps 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

fancy shirts he had a proclivity for wearing that Star Wars fans went
nuts for.

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.

11/04/2003 02:01 AMSure 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

doesn't mind much though, since it keeps the Rebels off his precious

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.

12/23/2003 01:32 AMIf ever there was a reason to read the

novel, it would be all the cool bits about
Teebo (and his chum
Paploo). Even though the film leads one to believe that this is
a figure of a background character, nothing could be further from the
truth. Granted, one would have to put aside their views on
Ewoks all together to fully appreciate this portion of the
book, they would find it hard justifying their discontent for these
characters after doing so. In the case of today’s addition to the
Vintage Photo Archive
here, he was actually a very well respected member of the tribe and
played a major part in our heroes’ fate. So stop reading this, and
–uh-- read that.
