Welcome to my little slice of internet heaven. This site showcases some of the coolest Jawa collectibles from my personal collection (unless noted). Also, I have included links to some of my favorite websites, which feature other outstanding collections as well. Thank you for visiting MADBROWNZ and enjoy the "Jawa experience."

Star Wars Punch-Out and Make-It Books (American and Italian)


Pictured are two Vintage Star Wars Punch-Out and Make-It Books. Produced around 1978, the books allowed kids to recreate different characters or vehicles from the movies. R2D2, C3PO, Lightsaber,Tie Fighter and the Sandcrawler were featured on the front of the book. The same book had been produced/distributed in Italy and features the classic "GUERRE STELLARI" on the front and translates the same characters in Italian. For example, Pistola-raggi or Energy Pistol.

Here is picture from inside the book featuring "Cingolato Jawa" or the Jawa Sandcrawler complete with instructions for kids to put this together. The American version is fairly easy to find, while the Italian one is fairly hard to find. A third version exists in French and I hope to track it down one day.


Jawa Window Movie Display (Unused)

Pictured is a Jawa Window Display. To celebrate the re-release of Star Wars in 1997 or as some call it, the "Special Edition" characters from the movies were displayed outside the Theater. The characters included Darth Vader, Yoda, Stormtrooper and the Jawa. The display is made of plastic and would be attached to a window and in most cases tossed out when no longer needed. The display is unused and measures 17" tall and 9.5" wide. They are fairly hard to find and make a nice addition to my Jawa collection.

Razor Crest & Sandcrawler Puzzle (Paper) Set (MISB)

 

Pictured is a Razor Crest and Sandcrawler Puzzle (Paper) Set. The model or set consists of 332 pieces of paper that one would have to be very patient to put together. The box measures 17" by 11" and would look great on display if I decide to take it out. A cool and modern addition to my collection.
