just SOME of Thee Classics...

These are originals, 12 inch figures, R2 and 3PO from 1977, Boba Fett from 1979.  Not great quality, compared to what we have today.  Of course, this is back when Hasbro was run by toymakers who just didnt understand.  We wanted photo realism!  Accuracy!  These are just...well ..close.  “that ought to keep the little SOB’s happy for now.” The droids are not high quality, but Boba?  They really figured it out by then.  He came with the backpack that ‘fired’ a grappling hook with a line so you could ‘make him fly’ sorta.  A cool gun and ‘wookie scalps’! Fully articulated, he could hold almost any pose.  Best of all, you could look through a hole in the back of his head to see his ‘point of view’.  Six Million Dollar Man fans recall the Steve Austin 12” figure had the same kind of feature for his ‘bionic eye’.  I played with Boba so much, I lost his gun and broke his backpack.  Still there, you just cant see it in the picture.
MORE TO COME!
