Vintage Star Wars Action Figures Doing What They Do Best
I seem to recall back in 1980 that the vintage Dengar action figures suffered lengthy stays lingering in retail toy aisles. Alongside his brothers the Lobots and the Bespin Security Guards, Dengar was a peg warmer. First off, nobody knew of him. With his screen time totaling about .08 seconds, one could forgive even an […]
The End of the Line for those pesky Rebels that is! And, sad is it may be, it’s also the End of this six-part AT-AT exposé. I said at the onset that taking on the whole toy in one shot wasn’t really feasible but of course that only made me feel the challenge that much […]
Let’s circle back to the AT-AT’s feet for a minute. I realized after the fact that the earlier shot with the two X-Wing Pilots fell a bit short in only showing two of the AT-AT’s feet instead of all four. This little piece of drama goes the distance.
Voila! As promised, the AT-AT head exterior in all its glory. And of course I’ll own up straight away – the background on this one’s a fake. Sometimes I can’t resist the temptation. This is fourth in the now burgeoning AT-AT Marathon of Summer 2012! When will it end!?
This is one of two shots necessary to give the vintage AT-AT’s cockpit/head the attention that it deserves. Let’s call this one the interior shot. I’ll post the one focused more on exterior tomorrow. Third photo in the AT-AT series.
This is second in a series dedicated to capturing the immense pleasure that is the vintage AT-AT. And this time it’s all about the feet.
The vintage AT-AT is so huge and so wonderful a toy, it would be impossible to capture its essence all in one photo. Better to capture details in the macro (like the personnel bay door on the AT-AT’s lee side shown above) and work up to something that’s greater than the sum of its parts. […]
Strange coincidence: it’s three years almost to the day since I last snapped a photo of the celebrated Power (or ‘Gonk’) Droid. Glad to see him back!
I’m afraid not every day ends with booze and prostitutes for an X-Wing Pilot.
Nothing spells fun like watching Ewoks blow off steam at the expense of some Imperial flunkies! Let’s call this shot a sequel to an old favorite from a couple years back.
