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.

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.

The Hoth Evacuation continues in our Photo Archives today as the Rebels scramble to escape their hidden base. As seen in The Empire Strikes Back, the escape from Echo Base is protected by this Hoth Trooper and his squad of soldiers. This figure also includes a display base.

As The Battle of Endor rages in our Photo Archives, the Empire comes under attack from an Ultra Ewok With Attack Glider, dropping rock bombs on his enemies in Return of the Jedi. But the battle in the sky is nothing compared to what is happening on the ground...

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.

Outfit)

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.

Vintage Photo Archives: Luke Skywalker
(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...

Photo Archives: Ultra C-3PO (Tatooine
Escape) 11/18/2003 03:34 AM
Our Photo Archives gets an unexpected vistior today, as C-3PO (Tatooine Escape) crash-lands in the Escape Pod from the Tantive IV. Dazed and confused, the protocol droid wanders off on his own, destined for one adventure after another as seen in A New Hope. This figure is part of the Tatooine-themed wave for 2004, and is part of the new Ultra line due to the size of his accessory. Sharp-eyed fans will notice the similarities to the Deluxe Droid Factory Assembly Line figure, but the escape pod is all-new.

Here's another Photo Archives update from Revenge of the Sith! Obi-Wan Kenobi (Slashing Attack!) has taken on many roles during the Clone Wars: leading troops into battle, training his padawan, and fighting against the most evil villains in the galaxy. But there's a bigger duel in his future...

The circle is now complete. We conclude today's series of updates to our Photo Archives with a figure that really needs no introduction. Darth Vader (Lightsaber Attack!) will finally have his origins revealed in Revenge of the Sith, but for fans of the Classic Trilogy, we've been admiring this guy for nearly 30 years. Welcome Back, Darth!

After surviving The Battle of Endor in our Photo Archives this week, Lando Calrissian -- exhausted (and less buff!) from the Death Star Attack takes a last look at Return of the Jedi and bids farewell to the Saga line. Now it's time to kick back at the Mos Eisley Cantina, down a Colt 45, find a good sabacc game, and get back to a scoundrel's lifestyle!

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.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

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 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: Too-Onebee
(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…

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: 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.

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: 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.

"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!

Star Wars, A New Hope

Star Wars, A New Hope 04/01/2005 05:20 PM

I didn't realize how much the recent two Star Wars movies had sullied my once-fond memories of the first three films until I sat down to watch the original Star Wars. The acting is marginal at best and the story is a little clunky in places, but that's really beside the point, isn't it? The special effects have been digitally retouched and remastered on the DVD, but even without all that, I can see why SW was such a huge deal when it appeared in theatres in the late 70s. Space opera indeed. And the last scene with the X-Wing fighters and the Death Star -- don't worry, I won't give the ending away if you haven't seen it -- I've seen that scene about 30 times and it never fails to entertain; I know every line by heart almost and I was still on the edge of my seat.
