Original Trilogy
Collection figures from
The Empire Strikes Back. The
ultimate version of
Lando Calrissian,
this figure perfectly captures every detail of the swauve scoundrel.
Pose him double-crossing his old pals, getting choked by a wookiee, or
taking aim at Stormtroopers, this figure can do it all!

Calrissian -- exhausted (and less buff!) from the

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!

Vintage Photo Archives: Klaatu (In Skiff
Guard Outfit)
12/12/2003 01:03 AMTo modern
Star Wars fans, the name ‘Klaatu’ (along with Nikto,
Barada, and Weequay) was the name of his species, but that wasn't the
case in the old school days. In the Eighties, that was his given name;
the one you'd find on his driver's licence. As such,
Klaatu (In Skiff
Guard Outfit) was actually the same guy as the dude with the furry
skirt that came out on the 65 back cards mere months earlier. Both can
be found in the
Vintage
Photo Archive.

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.

protecting the Hutt's valuable property, or perhaps securing a

Skrilling

Snitkin can pilot the skiff, but he has been known to dabble in
exclusive deals from time to time.

Power of the

The
Death
Star Trooper commands death squads of Stormtroopers into battle
against enemy forces. Field promotions are commonplace in the Imperial
navy, such as when
Captain Piett was
promoted to Admiral. Imperial pilots begin their service flying a
TIE Fighter,
but the most skilled among them can become a
Cruisemissile
Trooper in aerial assaults. Such is the life of an Imperial
soldier in service to
Emperor
Palaptine.

Vintage Photo Archives: Gamorrean Guard
12/04/2003 03:46 AMIt boggles the mind how accurate the vintage
Gamorrean
Guard really is. Even though this figure is a bit out of scale, if
given a modern paint job it could easily fit in with the current line.
A fact more or less proven when today’s addition to the
Vintage Photo Archive
here was (sort of) packed out as a new figure in the early Ninties…
For the most part, the sculpt was retooled and used to produce the
Friar Tuck figure from Kenner’s dismal Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
movie line.

01/05/2004 02:25 AMBelieve it or not,

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
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…
