Power of the Force Two “Flashback” Chewbacca (Hoth) First Shot

Pictured is a POTF2 “Flashback” Chewbacca (Hoth) First Shot. I have to say this one beautiful prototype. The figure is molded in Blue (Head), Dark Brown (Tunic), Lite Brown (Torso) and Orange (Arms). The legs are molded in a Blueish Grey. The figure is non-sonic welded and can be taken apart. The figure contains copyright information on the feet (LFL 1998 Kenner China). It is very uncommon for non-sonic welded Prototypes to be stamped with copyright information. 

The figure comes with a prototype weapon that differs in color (Blue) than the Production one. Also, part of the weapon is still attached to a sprue. I simply love this figure and am very excited to add it to my Modern Prototype Collection. 

 

Power of the Jedi Darth Vader (Dagobah) “Translucent” First Shot

 

Pictured is a Power of the Jedi Darth Vader (Dagobah) “Translucent” First Shot. The figure is unpainted and molded in what seems to be a more translucent (smoke grey) plastic on the head, chest, arms, bottom cape and legs. The large cape can be removed and is more grayish in color, compared to the Production version. The head differs than the production version, where part of the mask cannot be removed and lacks color (red) in the eyes. The figure contains copyright information on the feet (LFL 1999 Kenner China)

Here is an up-close picture of the Head, Torso and Arms. The clearer or smoke grey plastic really stands out and is very noticeable compared to the Production version.I acquired the figure in a trade and this makes a nice and cool addition to my Modern Prototype Collection. 
 

Power of the Jedi Snaggletooth (Zutton) First Shot

 

Pictured is a Power of the Jedi Snaggletooth (Zutton) First Shot. The figure is molded in black (Head and Arms), Yellow (Tunic) and Brown (Torso). The legs and holster are molded in black, grey and white.The color scheme is mixed on both legs. The figure lacks copyright information.

Here is a picture of the figure with Prototype weapons. The Blasters (black) and glass (solid white) differ in color and scheme from the Production versions. The figure is very cool and a nice addition to my Prototype collection of the First Twenty-One Figures. 

POTF2 Hammerhead (Momaw Nadon) Kenner Standard (MOC)

Pictured is a POTF2 Hammerhead (Momaw Nadon) Kenner Standard (MOC). The figure is similar to the Production version and has a green “Kenner Standard” tag affixed to the back of the card. The card notes the Date: 10/22/96, Item Number: 69629, Item Name – STAR WARS HAMMERHEAD and Vendor: SMILE – C-060A. The back of the tag notes the change of card back color, Orange to Green and to reset standard on the card.  The card is signed by Q.A. or Quality Assurance.  

 

 Here is a picture of the front of the card. This is a noteworthy addition to my collection. 

 

SDCC Hallmark Vinyl Cape Jawa Keepsake Ornament.

 

Pictured is a Hallmark Vinyl Cape Jawa Keepsake Ornament. Exclusive to San Diego Comic Con (SDCC), this beautiful and 1000% awesome Ornament had been gifted to me by a fellow Jawa Collector. The Ornament showcases a Vintage Vinyl Cape Jawa on a 12 Back when they were originally released in 1978. I continue to be in awe of this Hobby and fellow Collectors who go out of their way to make others happy. Only a certain number of these Ornaments were produced and this makes an Epic addition to my collection. A HUGE Thank you to the person who sent me this as I am extremely grateful for your kindness.  

Krieg Der Sterne Panorama Builder (Tattooine)

 

Pictured is a "Krieg Der Sterne" (Star Wars) Panorama Builder. Produced in Germany around 1978, these were more than likely sold in Novelty Stores. The set features "VERKAUF AUF TATTOOINE" or Sale on Tattooine. Stickers would be peeled off and applied or rubbed down on the background to create the diorama around the Sandcrawler

Here is a picture of the back, featuring Jawas, C3PO, R2D2, Luke Skywalker and Uncle Owen. The other sets in the series, totaling ten are listed on the back. I recently became aware of these and managed to score one of the two sets featuring Jawas. The set is still sealed and is a nice addition to my "ongoing" and never-ending Jawa run. 

 

Target Exclusive Vintage Collection Droid Set (Boxed Sample Prototype) R5D4, Death Star Droid and Power Droid

 

 

Produced in 2012 and Exclusive to Target, the set is a Quality Control/Boxed Sample Prototype. There are subtle differences in the placement of the bubble, punch and overall design of the set compared to the Production version. The sides of the boxed are not taped sealed, which is common for Quality Control samples. The back of the box contains a Security Tracking Number. The Death Star Droid, R5D4 and Power Droid are some of the harder to find modern Prototypes.

Pictured is a POTF2 Freeze Frame Death Star Trooper Test Shot. The figure is unpainted and sonic welded, so it cannot be taken apart. The head is molded/shot in beige. The figure contains copyright information (Kenner China 1998 LFL) on the feet. The Death Star Trooper is one of the tougher to find Modern Prototypes and a nice addition to my collection. 

 

Polish Unarticulated Zuckuss Bootlegs (Zuckuss Blues)

 

 

As some of you may know, I am an absolute sucker for Bootlegs. Back in 2019, I decided to take the "jump"  and start a side focus or run of Bootlegs, specifically from Poland. Pictured are all of the Blue variations for the Unarticulated Polish Zuckuss, produced in the late 1980's or early 1990's. From left to right is Lite Blue, Dark Blue, Blue/Purple with Red Eyes and Translucent Blue. The Lite and Dark Blue variations are rather hard to find, where the Translucent and Red Eyes versions are very hard to find. This is a nice sub-focus for my collection and as most Bootleg collectors know, the "hunt" is never over. 

Unproduced (Cancelled) Titanium Series “Forged” Tusken Raider

 

 

Pictured is an Unproduced (Cancelled) Titanium Series “Forged” Tusken Raider.The figure is cast in die-cast metal and fully painted. The figure would have been released as part of the Titanium or “Forged” line before being cancelled in 2006. The figure is 3.75" in scale and has no copyright markings. The figure comes complete with a weapon (Gaffi Stick). The figure is quite striking and is a wonderful addition to my collection and quest of Pre-Production items for the First 21 Figures. 

Saga Ponda Baba (Walrus Man) First Shot

 

 

Pictured is a Saga Ponda (Walrus Man) First Shot. The figure is unpainted and sonic welded, so it cannot be taken apart. The figure is noticeably different in scheme and color than the Production version. The right-arm can be removed from the figure and contains extra flashing near the hand, which leads me to believe this is an early First Shot. The figure does not contain copyright information and does not have holes on the bottom of the feet. Produced in 2002, this had been exclusive to Walmart and part of the Cantina Deluxe Pack. Modern Pre-Production items for Walrus Man are rather tough to find and this is a notable addition to my collection. 

 

Imaginext Stormtrooper First Shot

 

 

Pictured is a Imaginext Stormtrooper First Shot. The figure is unpainted and missing copyright information. The figure is made of metal and is 3” tall. Produced in 2024, the figure had been part of the Darth Vader & Stormtrooper Figure Set. This is a notable addition to my ongoing pursuit of Pre-Production items for the First 21 figures.  

 

Ohio Star Wars Collecting Club (OSWCC) Jawas Badge Set (Complete)

Pictured is an Ohio Star Wars Collecting Club (OSWCC) Badge Set featuring Jawas. These were created for their Summer Social in 2008 and feature different themes on each Badge, for example Inner Circle and VIP. The Badges were exclusive to that event and putting together a set of these is nearly impossible. I acquired the set in a trade for patches in 2012 and highly doubt another complete set exists. Aside from being rather cheesy, I love them and they make a cool addition to my run of unique Jawas. 

Black Series Han Solo (Endor) First Shot

 

Pictured is a Black Series Han Solo (Endor) First Shot. The arms, face and upper chest are molded in yellow and unpainted. The tunic is molded in brown and differs from the production version (black). The belt and lower shirt appear to be hand painted. The legs and crotch are similar to the production version, but appear to be lighter in color. The figure contains copyright (Hasbrol LFL China) and tracking information on the feet. This is a notable addition to my ongoing pursuit of Pre-Production items for the First 21 figures.
