Star Wars Retro Collection Six Pack (MISB)

Pictured is a Star Wars Retro Collection 6-Pack (MISB). Produced in 2022, the set features six of the First Twelve characters; C3PO, R2D2, Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi, Death Star Commander, Jawa and Tusken Raider (Sand People). For some reason, they decided to "feature" a vac-medal upgrade to C3PO and R2D2. However, who the hell cares about these Droids as the Jawa is the most important character in this set.

Here a picture of each character from the movie. Overall, the set is pretty cool and a nice addition to my Collection.

Diamond Select Toys Jawa Bank

 

Pictured is a Jawa Bank. Produced in 2012 by Diamond Select Toys, the bank stands over 9" tall and features the Jawa with his trademark droid "freezing" device. These are relatively hard to find as only 1000 of them were produced.

 

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.
 

 

 

Gentle Giant Paint Sample (Quality Control) Blue Snaggletooth:

 

Pictured is a Gentle Giant (Quality Control) paint sample. The sample contains manufacturer sign-offs on the bottom of the feet (PPS OK & #3 2012.5.2) and is made of a light weight plastic/vinyl resin similar to the Jumbo production figure. The sample piece has various silver or red marks in places and very minor paint rubs. The figure contains copyright information (2012 LFL & TM) on the bottom of the feet and @GMFGL 1978 HONG KONG on the back of the leg.

Here is the Paint Sample pictured next to an Unpainted Gentle Giant Hardcopy. These were some of the best additions to my Modern Prototype Collection in 2024.

 

 

 

 

POTF2 Commtech Luke Skywalker First Shot (Incomplete)

 

Pictured is a POTF2 Commtech Luke Skywalker First Shot. The figure is molded in beige; head, arms, tunic and leg, blue (tunic) and green (underneath) and lacks copyright information. The figure is non-sonic welded, so it can be taken apart. I originally purchased the figure with one leg (unpainted) and added a production leg and pins so it can stand while being displayed.

 

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.

 

POTF2 Darth Vader Test Shot (Masters of the Darkside Two-Pack)

 

Pictured is a POTF2 Darth Vader Test Shot from the Masters of the Dark Side Two-Pack. The figure is unpainted and contains copyright information (2000 LFL Hasbro China) on the bottom of the feet. The figure is complete with a cloth cape that appears to be similar to the Production version. A notable addition to my Modern Prototype Collection. 

Star Wars Pepsi Bottle Cap R2D2 and Ben Kenobi First Shots

Pictured are R2D2 and Ben Kenobi ""Bottle Cap" First Shots. Produced in 1999, they were used on top of Pepsi bottles to promote Episode One: The Phantom Menace. The figures are 1" tall and lack articulation. They are somewhat hard to find and make a nice and affordable addition to my collection.

Jundland Junkers Clan Patch

Pictured is a Jundland Junkers Clan Patch. Aside from being one cool patch, this thing is HUGE. Measuring over 13" tall and 10" wide, this patch features a badass Jawa with his trademark blaster looking to do some damage. This is a notable addition to my ongoing and "never ending" Patch collection.

Jedicon WV 2024 Exclusive Jawa (Minor)

Pictured is a JediCon WV Jawa (Minor). Exclusive to JediCon WV, the Jawa is pictured in a Minor Outfit. The Jawa is fitted with a Miner Hat and comes with a Pick Ax accessory. The figure comes in a plastic baggie and a resealable clamshell. Created by Plastic Vomit Customs, only 20 Jawas were produced.

Here is a picture of the back of the figure. The background pays homage to the initial 12 Backs that were released in 1978 and is a notable addition to my collection.

 

Retro Jawa First Shot

 

Pictured is a Retro Jawa First Shot. The figure is unpainted and lacks copyright information on the bottom of the feet. The front and back torso is unpainted. The arms and legs are shot/molded in non-production colors (white).

Here is a picture of the back of the figure. The non-production colors of the arms and legs really stand out and makes this figure more special.
