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: 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.

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.

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…

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 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: Ask Yoda

Photo Archives: Ask Yoda 08/09/2004 01:03 PM
Our Photo Archives gets a little bit more wise today with the addition of Ask Yoda from the Original Trilogy Collection. Complete with a 24 phrases and soft goods clothing, this version of Yoda is based on his appearance in The Empire Strikes Back. As an added bonus, we've also added the Saga version of Ask Yoda as well, although his outfit is from Attack of the Clones.

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.

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.

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: 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: OTC X-Wing Fighter

Photo Archives: OTC X-Wing Fighter 06/03/2004 12:17 PM
"X-Wing Day" continues in our Photo Archives with a "new" version of the X-Wing Fighter, this time from the Original Trilogy Collection. This vehicle is based on 1995's POTF2 version, only this time the electronics are not included. Stay tuned for more X-Wing updates!

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.

Photo Archives: OTC Carry Cases

Photo Archives: OTC Carry Cases 09/09/2004 12:10 AM
Our Photo Archives is updated today with the Wal-Mart exclusive Carry Cases from the Original Trilogy Collection. Based on previously-released versions, each case includes two action figures to start your collection. C-3PO comes with Han Solo and Chewbacca, while Darth Vader includes Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper.

(2-1B)

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.

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.

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: 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: Mos Eisley Cantina

Photo Archives: Mos Eisley Cantina 08/23/2004 10:46 AM
Our Photo Archives updates today with the long-awaited release of that wretched hive of scum and villainy, the Mos Eisley Cantina from A New Hope. Originally planned for the Saga line, the cancelled sets have been given new life as a K-Mart exclusive screen scene in the Original Trilogy Collection. Dr. Evazan, Wuher, and Kitik Keed'kak at long last join their fellow miscreants on collectors' shelves everywhere.

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.

Photo Archives: Thermal Detonators

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: Unleashed Bossk

Photo Archives: Unleashed Bossk 08/27/2004 01:38 PM
The year of Bossk continues as we wrap up our series of Unleashed additions to our Photo Archives. The fearsome Trandoshan bounty hunter first seen in The Empire Strikes Back lives for hunting down his prey. His deadly aim and fiery temper make him a force to be reckoned with.

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.

Photo Archives: VOTC Yoda

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!

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.

Vintage Photo Archives: Ugnaught

Vintage Photo Archives: Ugnaught 10/29/2003 02:20 AM
Believe it or not, the vintage Ugnaught action figure was not a peg warmer! Granted the ugly little dudes weren’t the first to fly off the shelves, but sell they still did. When Kenner’s Star Wars line was winding down, collectors were tripping over Endor Leias, and in some regions even Stormtrooper Lukes and Carbonite Hans, but the short guys with the make up cases were no where to be found… Granted, he was technically an army builder –even if it was an army of stunted unsightly pig guys with aprons and purses. Go to the Vintage Photo Archive to see what all the cross-dressing hype was about.

Vintage Photo Archives: Pruneface

Vintage Photo Archives: Pruneface 12/10/2003 02:16 AM
Generally 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.

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!

Photo Archives: Stormtrooper Bust-Up

Photo Archives: Stormtrooper Bust-Up 06/05/2005 11:51 PM
Today's Photo Archives update continues our series that will get us caught up with Gentle Giant Studios line of Bust-Ups. The next in Series 2 is the Stormtrooper, which comes in a variety of poses...check back for those later this week.

Photo Archives: ROTS ARC-170 Fighter

Photo Archives: ROTS ARC-170 Fighter 06/24/2005 05:48 PM
Today's Photo Archives update features the new vehicle from Revenge of the Sith that the Republic navy can't do without, the ARC-170 Fighter. This ship includes dual missiles and proton torpedos and needs three Clones and an Astromech Droid (not included) to fly it! The Separatists better watch out!

Photo Archives: Han Solo Blaster

Photo Archives: Han Solo Blaster 03/19/2003 10:25 PM
Collectors can now take aim at their enemies with Han Solo's Blaster from A New Hope, the latest addition to our Photo Archives. This prop from Master Replicas is just the thing every Corellian smuggler could ask for and is movie accurate right down to the smallest detail.

Vintage Photo Archives: The Emperor

Vintage Photo Archives: The Emperor 12/19/2003 11:31 AM
Before 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.

Photo Archives: Jedi Warriors

Photo Archives: Jedi Warriors 03/06/2004 02:00 AM
Our Photo Archives turns into a battlefield today with a new multipack of Jedi Warriors. Right out of Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan Kenobi is trapped in the Geonosian containment field, and it's up to Plo Koon, Saesee Tiin, and Fi-Ek Sirch to rescue him.

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!

Training)

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.

Vintage Photo Archives: Nikto

Vintage Photo Archives: Nikto 12/16/2003 01:56 AM
Despite 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.
