Vintage Star Wars Action Figures Doing What They Do Best
“Hey, where’s his light saber!?” I know that this borders on heresy, but I’m just not a fan of the light sabers that came with the vintage Luke Bespin and vintage Luke Jedi Knight action figures. I’d have preferred that Kenner just keep the geeky telescoping magic of the original 1978 Luke Skywalker ‘farm boy’ […]

Last night my two year old daughter pointed to a vintage action figure and asked “Dada, this one?” I said, “That’s Gamorrean Guard”. She paused and replied in her best sing-song voice: “HI ‘GOOD MORNING’ GUARD!!”. This one’s for you, kiddo.

The vintage Snowspeeder easily makes it among my top three vehicles that Kenner made for its 1977-1985 vintage line of Star Wars toys. The Snowspeeder picks up points over it’s hottest competition (Millennium Falcon and the X-Wing Fighter) in its winning light & sound action.

Empire Strikes Back toys are always quick to creep up on my photo radar. They were the last toys that I really collected and played with as a kid back in the early ’80s. What was the last bunch of toys you collected before rock ‘n roll and boys/girls took over?
