01/05/2004 02:25 AMBelieve 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: 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.

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…

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

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: Lobot
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.

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.

Vintage Photo Archives: The Emperor
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: Bib Fortuna
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.

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
many thugs on the payroll of one Jabba The Hutt. To a vintage
variation collector, however, today’s addition to the

is evil... pure, unadulterated evil.
Vintage Photo Archives: Pruneface
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.

(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: 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.

AT-AT
Drivers really seemed to have it made. Not only did they have
exceptionally well designed outfits to look cool whilst staying warm
and toasty in their easy chairs, but they got to drive what is
arguably the most incredible vehicle in the
Star Wars universe.
All other Stormtroopers looked up with envy to today’s addition to the

weird since they are all the same dude… Goes to show, you can make a
trillion clones from a single nefarious bounty hunter, but none of
them are going to be too smart.

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

that’s why this handsome pint-sized rag-wearing bear with a sharp
