I bought these figures a long fourth dimension agone inwards a flea market. I idea (as many many other collectors) that these mightiness conk high valuable collectables merely about time. Both blisters were partly opened, together with the comm-chips had been removed, but they were cheap, so I didn´t care.
These figures were a flake different to what at that topographic point was available at the time. The figures are really similar to the actors playing the characters inwards the film, so the figures own got really nice, realistic sculpt. The technique used for the sculpt was in all probability something new. Until then, all activeness figures that had to resemble existent people were somehow non really accurate, together with that was the principal attraction of this toyline for me.
The start 2 figures belong to the Episode I motion-picture exhibit together with were sold inwards "Episode I" carmine blisterpacks. Chewbacca is casted every bit it appears inwards the Episodes IV, V together with VI, together with was hence inwards a "Power of the Force" greenish blisterpack. They were merely to a greater extent than merchandising from the Star Wars´ franchise, but dissimilar the figures made past times Kenner from 1977 on, these didn´t caught the attending of immature collectors, in all probability because of the overwhelming let on of other merchandising items (for illustration video-games).
The figures were non really successful amidst children, but merely about adult collectors bought them massively or remained inwards the shop shelves together with were cleared out at really depression prices (and bought past times people who idea almost reselling them). Even today, almost xx years after, they are really slow to detect MOC. And at the same prices (+/-) than xx years ago!
Note: I forgot to include inwards the pictures the rifle that came amongst Chewbacca. i'll elbow grease to right the pictures soon. This final photograph amongst the bluish background was taken from forum.rebelscum.com/t1105419-30/, the best beginning of data for Star Wars figures.
Note2: Padme Naberrie's toy pictures volition last added later.
