Vintage Jawa Lobby Card signed by Rusty Goffe.



Pictured is a signed "Jawa" Lobby Card by Rusty Goffe. He is one of many actors that played the Jawa character in the Original Star Wars Saga in 1977. This beautifully framed card had been given to me by my "Secret Santa" Mike Z from The Imperial Gunnery Forum. Held once a year, Members are sent the name, address and a list of wants from other collectors. This allows Collectors to not only give to each other, but back to the Community as well. 


Here is a close-up of the Actor's name under the frame. Also noted is "The Collection of MADBROWNZ" as well. This personal touch makes this gift even more special. Mike also included a sweet loose Jawa (not pictured) with this framed picture. I cannot thank him enough for a truly unique gift that I will proudly display with my Jawa Collection.

Japanese (Takara) Keshi Rubber Jawas


Pictured are Keshi Rubber Jawas produced by the Japanese Company Takara in 1978. The Jawas were produced in at least Ten different colors; Green, Yellow (Lite and Dark), Black, Blue, Orange, White, Translucent Blue, Translucent Red and Translucent Green. They are made of rubber and are flexible enough to be squeezed in ones hand.They were distributed/sold in vending machines and came carded with other rubber figures.
 
Here is an up close picture of the White, Black, Yellow and Translucent versions. As you might have noticed in the initial picture, they are larger than the other six Keshi Jawas. Considered the "White Whale" of Japanese Keshi, Large Takara figures are downright scarce and rival certain 12 backs in rarity. My hunt continues for the final one.

Celebration VI Jawa & R5D4 Star Tots


Pictured is a Jawa and R5D4 Star Tot figure. Given away at Celebration VI as part of the Collecting Track Panels, these pay homage to the Vintage line where Tot like figures were being considered by Kenner. Each figure is cast in metal, and then colored filled to match the characters likeness. The Jawa is showcased in front the sands of Tatooine and R5D4 with a Jawa and Sandcrawler in the background.

Here is a picture of the back of the card showing all twenty of the Star Tot characters that were being given away at Celebration VI. The Jawa had been sponsored by Gus Lopez and R5D4 by Broc Walker. Each figure comes in a clamshell and the figure is removable. These were one of the best exclusives of Celebration VI and make a nice addition to my collection.

Jawa & R2D2 Reference Slide

Pictured is a reference slide of the Jawas and R2D2. This slide came from The Earth, who purchased a number of similar slides from LFL in the past. The slide shows the Jawas carrying off R2D2 after blasting him in the sands of Tatooine. The slide is hard to see without being displayed or photographed with good light. The slide has the number II on the front top and 154 on the bottom middle. Though not pictured, the slide has The Earth on the white sticker and Jawa & R2D2 slide as well.

Here is a picture of the back of the slide. The slide measures 32 mm by 32 mm and is in good condition. This is one of many finds at Celebration VI.
