The Hoth Evacuation of Echo Base continues in our Photo Archives today, under the leadership of General Rieekan. As The Empire Strikes Back against the Rebels, this new figure in the Ultra line observes the battle on his tactical screen and plans the Rebels' escape route.

Vintage Photo Archives: Leia (Hoth
Outfit) 10/30/2003 02:44 AM
The vintage Leia (Hoth Outfit) action figure was the second lead character Kenner produced in their successful Hoth collection. Though not as well sculpted as the other Leia in The Empire Strikes Back line, this is the figure that best represents the character, since she wore this outfit for most of the film. Check this figure, and a couple of its interesting variations added today to the Vintage Photo Archive.

Attack) 11/12/2003 01:24 PM
Our Photo Archives turns colder today with Luke Skywalker (Hoth Attack) from The Empire Strikes Back. Featured in the initial Hoth-themed assortment for 2004, this figure not only includes more accurate sculpting and paint, but also includes a base, which can be connected to the Wampa Cave from the Ultra line.

Our Photo Archives falls victim to a Hoth Attack by the mighty Wampa today. As seen in The Empire Strikes Back Special Edition, the snowbeast makes a quick lunch out of Luke's Tauntaun, but suffers a painful injury when it reaches out for desert. This Ultra figure ties into the Hoth-themed lineup and includes part of the cave that attaches to the piece included with Luke Skywalker (Hoth Attack).

(Hoth Battle Gear) 11/10/2003 11:26 PM
Though, when compared to the modern line the casual observer may not notice it, but the vintage Luke Skywalker (Hoth Battle Gear) was a giant leap forward for Kenner. The figure sported not only the first vintage equivalent of an action pose; it was sculpted with more detail than any figure before it. Oddly enough, despite the fact that he used one whilst wearing this costume in the film, today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive didn't come with his father's Lightsaber. Likely Kenner didn't want to make the perfect Luke before Return Of The Jedi came out...

Today's POTF2 European Photo Archive update opens the third European wave with Han Solo (Hoth). In Europe every POTF2 assortment from Kenner received 2 revisions per year. Then new figures came on January and July. But they were really found in abundance from November when stores were putting on shelves the toys ordered for Christmas.

The POTF2 European Photo Archive update continues today with Luke in Hoth Gear. 2-1B Medical Droid and AT-ST Driver who came in the same American wave of Luke Hoth did not appear on European card. Hoth Rebel Soldier arrived the year after in Europe.

The POTF2 European Photo Archive update continues today with two soldiers of the rebel Alliance: the Rebel Fleet Trooper and the Hoth Rebel Soldier. In 1998 all new European cards except Luke Stormtrooper and Hammerhead have the Stand Up Bubble for its first release.

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.

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…

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.

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 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: 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.

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.

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 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?"

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.

(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…

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.

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: 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: 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.

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.

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!

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: 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.

"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: 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: 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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.
