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."

Non-Sonic Welded Kenner Jawas

Pictured are two non-sonic welded Kenner Jawas. The figures are similar to production figures with copyright information, but for some unknown reason escaped the "bonding" process or simply fell apart. I placed the figures legs on the right backwards, so the copyright information can be displayed. 

Here is a picture of the figures "taken apart" for display. While I would not consider these "pre-production" pieces, they provide a look at what figures look like, before they are sonic welded.

LA GUERRA DE LAS GALAXIAS Jawa Card


Pictured is a cool "LA GUERRA DE LAS GALAXIAS" Jawa Card.Similar to Topps cards, produced in the late-70's and 80's, these feature a quite familiar background of the Jawas carrying R2D2 to their "dreaded" Sandcrawler. Based on information from the seller, these were produced in Argentina and were supposed to be glued to various sticker books.
 

Here is a picture of the back of the card. Fortunately, this card escaped the gluing process and is in fairly good condition. I purchased this card at Celebration V. Thanks to my cool roomie, Trevor for this nice card.

Sample Red and Black MADBROWNZ Patches


Pictured are "sample" Red and Black patches. These were handed out during the most recent Celebration event. The samples differ from the production version with a more vibrant Red, Black and Brown color on the patch. These are the only "samples" that exist and were used in the production of the Red and Black Patch.

POTF2 Mock-up Holiday Edition Jawas

Pictured is a Mock-up of the Holiday Edition Jawas. The figures are production Jawas, but the hands have been glued on. The base appears to be hand painted and differs from the production version, but contains copyright information (2004 LFL). The gold tones are more vibrant and the black has a more matte finish.
  
Here is a group shot of the other Short and Tall Mockup figures for the set. The hands are glued on and they differ from the Production version. They are a nice addition to my "ongoing" Pre-Production run.

POTF2 "Short" First Shot Jawa (Paint Sample)

Pictured is a POTF2 "Short" First Shot Jawa. The figure sonic welded, so it cannot be taken apart. It is molded in a similar color as the production figure and is devoid of any copyright information. The figure had been used as a paint sample with subtle differences in scheme and color as the production figure.

POTF2 "Short" First Shot Jawa (Non-Sonic Welded)

Pictured is a POTF2 "Short" First Shot Jawa. The figure is unpainted and non-sonic welded, so it can be taken apart. It is molded in a lighter plastic than the production figure and is devoid of any copyright information.

Here is another picture with the front torso removed. This shows the "inner workings" of the figure and how it is held together. This is another nice addition to my ongoing modern Jawa Two-Pack Prototype run.

POTF2 "Short" Hardcopy Jawa

 
Pictured is a POTF2 "Short" Hardcopy Jawa. The figure is hand painted and more than likely used as a paint master. The head and arms are held together by pins (metal). The figure is slightly larger and differs from the production version. The figure is also pictured with two unpainted Hardcopy heads that I acquired in a separate deal.


Here is an up close picture of the figure with one of the Hardcopy heads.The heads are cast in a blue resin material and have some "extra" stuff on their faces. They fit the figure nicely and are a compliment to my run of  POTF2 Pre-production Jawas..

POTF2 "Tall" First Shot Jawa (Paint Sample)

Pictured is a POTF2 "Tall" First Shot Jawa. The figure is sonic welded, so it cannot be taken apart. It is molded in a similar color as the production figure and is devoid of any copyright information. The figure had been used as a paint sample with subtle differences in scheme and color as the production figure.

POTF2 "Tall" First Shot Jawa with Prototype Blaster


Pictured is a POTF2 "Tall" First Shot Jawa with a prototype blaster. The figure is unpainted and sonic welded, so it cannot be taken apart. It is molded in a similar color as the production figure and is devoid of any copyright information. The blaster is molded in a light blue plastic and more flexible than the production version.

POTF2 "Green" Jawas Proof Card


Pictured is a POTF2 "Green" Jawas Proof Card. The card is similar to the production card back with rounded corners. Though identified as a Proof Card, this can also be considered a unused card back.


Here is a picture of the back of the proof. There are no differences between the card back and the produced version.

Celebration IV and Celebration Europe Jawa Medallions


Pictured are the Celebration IV and Celebration Europe Exclusive Jawa Medallions. These beautiful Medallions were given to attendees, during various Collecting Panels. They are made of pewter and pay homage to the Vintage Line.

 

Here is a picture of the back of the Medallions. The name of each sponsor (Chris Nichols and Henrik Rasmussen) are highlighted as well. These were very popular during each Celebration Event.


In addition to Medallions, stickers and posters (not pictured) were created to publicize the giveaway during each Collecting Panel

The Evolution of MADBROWNZ

From the start, I wanted a site different than others. While there are some outstanding websites on the internet that showcase some outstanding collections, I wanted something special.

Why the name "MADBROWNZ"? Well, the name is unique and it seems to describe the character perfectly. I have always imagined the Jawa as this crazy character, with a mean streak. Featured is original art by Bill Cable, that had been nice enough to put my imagination into art form.


I hope to update this site on a daily or weekly basis. Enjoy the site and let me know what you think.
