The smell of vintage blisters...

Klaatu, Kenner, Hong Kong, 1983

I do tend to actually play with most of my toys, so the concept of keeping one in the packaging is a little strange to me, but this was a double...

It's cold on Hoth part 2... (SD version)

Luke and Tauntaun, Funko, Vietnam, 2022

I'm not really into the Funko POP craze, but this bobble-head Luke on Tauntaun is a flea market find and I just could not let it stay there. (after all, it's from Empire...)

Leia Slave "original" Kenner-style figurine

Slave Girl Figurine with weapon, 
Stan Solo Creations, 2022

This one is a recreation of a figurine that should have been but never was. Kenner did not feel it was right to put a "slave" figurine out on the market for kids to play with in 1983... even though the Jabba playset had the slave collar ready to be used ! Of course, the Geek fan-base did not let this one go... and here you have it, in all her beauty and naïve sculpting, just like the other figurines of that time...

Top notch detailing !
It's hot on Tatooine !

Anyone has seen these around on Hoth ?

No idea who made these figurines but they are pretty detailed for monochrome plastic ... Maybe part of a board game ?

Snowtrooper and Snowspeeder pilot ?

When all you have is a piece of a moviestill...


Alien Trash Monster (Dianoga), Kenner, USA, 1977

This baby came from the US-version of the (vintage) Death Star Space Station (not the UK / Palitoy cardboard one, but the plastic version by Kenner.

You have to admit Kenner product-designers did a great job when all the source-material they had were some movie stills of only the eye-part of the beast...

For my collection of bootlegs...

Stormtrooper party light, ?
China, 2020's


1) you put batteries in the feet of the thing
2) you press a small button on the right leg of the thing
3) Top of the helmet (Stormtrooper's skull ? /  brain) begins to light up in music

Who needs the force when this is the Stormtrooper you are looking for...
