Princess Leia First Shot (Death Star Trash Compactor)

 

Pictured is a Princess Leia First Shot. The figure is unpainted and sonic welded, so it cannot be taken apart. The arms, hood, bottom torso (front and back) and legs are shot/molded in white. The upper torso (back and front) are molded in lite yellow and the head is molded in beige. The figure contains copyright information (Hasbro China LFL 2003). The figure had been part of the Death Star Trash Compactor Playset, produced in 2003. This is a notable addition to my ongoing pursuit of Pre-Production items for the First 21 figures.

Star Wars Lego Magazine #25 with Sandcrawler (Complete Set)

Pictured is a complete set of Lego Magazine(s) #25 with an exclusive Sandcrawler. Released in 2017, the 25th Edition of the Star Wars Lego Magazine featured a Limited Edition Sandcrawler that was attached or included with the monthly edition. Though these were initially exclusive to Germany, the same Magazine had been released in the UK and France. Aside from differences in Language and the placement of C3PO and R2D2 on the cover, the Magazines are essentially the same. The German edition is quite common. However, the UK and French versions are not easy to find. These make a nice addition to my "never ending" Jawa Collection.

Star Wars Lipstick featuring Jawas.

In the realm or world of Star Wars, there are things that make you shake your head and think "What in God's name were they thinking". This is one of them. Produced and released in Japan, the lipstick or lip gloss features Jawas, C3PO and R2D2. The item is still sealed and I have no desire to open it. Hell, I cannot tell you what color it is. If I come across another one, maybe I will open it and "model" it for my wife.

Gentle Giant Blue Snaggletooth Hardcopy (Unpainted)

Pictured is a Gentle Giant Blue Snaggletooth Hardcopy (Unpainted). The Hardcopy is unpainted and made of a heavy grayscale resin and not a hollow/lightweight plastic/vinyl material used on the production Gentle Giant Jumbo figures. The Head and Limbs are head together by resin pins (not metal). Similar to other Gentle Giant Hardcopy's, there is some residue of what appears to be hot glue that were possibly used to attach the limbs; legs and arms to the Hardcopy.

Here is a picture of the Hardcopy "unpinned" or taken apart. The Hardcopy is quite heavy compared to other Modern Prototypes. This is one of the best and unexpected additions to my Modern Prototype collection in 2024.

POTF2 C3PO First Shot (Tatooine Escape)

 

Pictured is a POTF2 C3PO First Shot. The figure is unpainted and molded in white (ivory) plastic. The torso, arms and legs are softer, while the head appears to be made of harder plastic. The figure contains copyright information (2002 LFL Hasbro China) and similar to a Hardcopy, it is unpinned so it can be taken apart. This is very uncommon for First Shots.
