05/25/2004 10:20 AMWhile Chalmun's Cantina in Mos Eisley isn't really the kind of place
where everybody knows your name, today's
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives update should help in identifying some of the local
patrons. The Shistavanen scout
Lak Sivrak, the
Kubasz spy
Garindan and the
Chadra-Fan/Talz team of thieves,

scene of Chalmun's Cantina from

a nod to the
Vintage Kenner figure, Zutton will feature a few
changes....new limbs, a blue jumpsuit, and silver boots! Click on the

Vintage Photo Archives: 4-LOM
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
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…

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.

01/22/2004 02:13 AMVirtually unheard of in the vintage line, the

figure is actually a little too large to be the correct scale.

mention the staff ‘o heads, today’s addition to the

is one of the greatest achievements in the entire

Vintage Photo Archives: Too-Onebee
(2-1B)
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
Vintage Photo Archive
doesn't mind much though, since it keeps the Rebels off his precious
collection of medical gurneys.

Vintage Photo Archives: Yak Face
01/23/2004 03:58 AMMuch 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 Archives: Lobot
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
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.

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…

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: Pruneface
12/10/2003 02:16 AMGenerally speaking, vintage collectors disregard virtually everything
the Expanded Universe has offered to the Star Wars community. Even
though they still call him
Pruneface
instead of “
Orrimaarko.”, all have to agree that the EU did
answer the age old question that overshadows all others in the vintage
community: ...Who’s this guy???... With it’s rather ambiguous card
back photo, most collectors thought today’s addition to the
Vintage Photo Archive
was based on one of the myriad characters from Jabba’s Palace who got
a millisecond of screen time in Return Of The Jedi. As it turns out,
he ended up being a rebel dude from the second act... who only got a
millisecond of screen time in Return Of The Jedi.

Vintage Photo Archives: Klaatu
12/09/2003 02:41 AMThe vintage
Klaatu figure may
seem like nothing more than a plastic representation of one of the

variation collector, however, today’s addition to the

is evil... pure, unadulterated evil.

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.
Vintage Photo Archives: Teebo
Vintage Photo Archives: Teebo
12/23/2003 01:32 AMIf ever there was a reason to read the
Return Of The Jedi
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.

Vintage Photo Archives: Paploo
01/01/2004 01:03 AMAlong 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.
Vintage Photo Archives: Lumat
Vintage Photo Archives: Lumat
01/02/2004 02:23 AMTechnically 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.

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.
