[galactiboy]

Yeah, but I'd still like to have a set of those figures... something cool about them.

They are over at the SW Chinese forums

 

[Darth Waller]

Yeah, but I'd still like to have a set of those figures... something cool about them.

I was all over the regular figures when they came out, but for some reason, I never got into the 12-inch figures. Maybe they were too much like Ken dolls or something.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, I never had any of them when I was a kid (all about the 3 3/4" though) but there something very endearing about the simplicity and kind of androgyny of the vintage stuff.

Also the IG-88 is pretty kickass in his own right.

 

[Darthrazz]

Yeah, but I'd still like to have a set of those figures... something cool about them.

I remember them as a kid.Back in the day they were the ****. Brings back memories, I remember going to Toys R Us , around 1978-1979 and it was Star Wars EVERYTHING! There were so many 3 3/4" figures that they were all over the store, almost every aisle!

 

[pixletwin]

I think I got the 3 3/4 mostly because my parents could afford them easier.

We had Chewbacca and Vader. That was it and it didn't exactly lend itself to hours of play.

"haaaaaaaaaa purrrrrrrrrrr" "GROOOOWWWWWWWWUNNNNNN"

Hard to believe it's taken 30 years to get the quintessential Farmboy Luke - though a couple of Hasbro's efforts weren't TOO bad.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Until then

Looks pretty good... but let's go, where are the blog pics? We should be getting an alert email today.

Hey...wow...that was the very first Star Wars figure, and 12" figure I got as a kid! From then on I was "hooked"! Wow, that picture brings back a lot of great memories for me!

 

[pixletwin]

Someone in Sideshow is listening.

Pics are up!

Ex. Floppy Hat and goggles! :d

 

[pixletwin]

The boots look GREAT!

I can't wait to get this one!!!

 

[EVILFACE]

Looks good to me. The leg wraps look great. Nice job.

 

[pixletwin]

Looks like the floppy hat is cloth with wire too. Very cool. I love that huge rifle he comes with too.

 

[creature4000]

He's awesome... but the size of his hands kill me!

Thats what the poncho is for!

 

[galactiboy]

That's Mark Hamill alright. Best likeness of Luke ever, anywhere.

Yeah, the hands still bother me. I would give up some of those accessories for some accurate hands.
