Disney Park Exclusive Chewbacca Pen Unpainted Test Shot (Upper Torso):

Pictured is a Chewbacca Pen Unpainted Test Shot (Upper Torso). Produced in 2022 and Exclusive to Disney Parks, the Upper Torso is unpainted. The pen mechanism is missing from the stem that is attached to the top half of the figure. 

 

Here is a picture of the Torso mounted on a Production Base. The Figure measures 8” tall and is a nice and affordable addition to my Pre-Production collection. 

 

The Vintage Collection (TVC) Boba Fett and Darth Vader Proof Cards/Unused Cardbacks

 

Pictured are The Vintage Collection (TVC) Boba Fett and Darth Vader Proof Cards/Unused Cardbacks. Exclusive to San Diego Comic Con in 2010, these were given away to attendees. The Proof cards are unpunched. 

Here is a picture of the back of the Proof Cards. These are relatively easy to find and provide a very affordable option when collecting Pre-Production items of the First 21 Characters.

 

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 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.

 

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.

 

Waddington's House of Games Star Wars Puzzle. (MIB)

 

Pictured is a House of Games Star Wars Puzzle featuring our beloved Jawas. These were produced in the UK around 1979 by Waddington House of Games. Unlike most Star Wars puzzles that featured backgrounds or pictures from the movie, this features the actual Action Figures or Toys that we played with. In the background, you see the Jawas carrying a droid, but not R2D2. As you can see the Droid has a red bar on the side, so it must be R5D4.

 

 

Here is a closer look of the Jawas carrying their prized droid with some cool Tie Fighters in the background. The puzzle is Mint in Box with all of the pieces (350) accounted for. A nice addition to my collection.

Large Japanese (Takara) Keshi Rubber Jawas

 

Pictured are Large Keshi Jawas produced by the Japanese Company Takara in 1978. When it comes to rarity, Large Keshi Jawas are downright scarce and are considered the "White Whale" of Japanese Keshi. The figures measure 1 1/2" in size and were part of a late series release for the Keshi line. I consider myself very lucky to have tracked down the Translucent versions as they are considered "grail" type of figures. The solid ones are somewhat easier to find. However, they rarely come up for public sale. Pictured here is my "ongoing" run of Keshi Jawas..

Star Wars Punch-Out and Make-It Books (American and Italian)

Pictured are two Vintage Star Wars Punch-Out and Make-It Books. Produced around 1978, the books allowed kids to recreate different characters or vehicles from the movies. R2D2, C3PO, Lightsaber,Tie Fighter and the Sandcrawler were featured on the front of the book. The same book had been produced/distributed in Italy and features the classic "GUERRE STELLARI" on the front and translates the same characters in Italian. For example, Pistola-raggi or Energy Pistol.

Here is picture from inside the book featuring "Cingolato Jawa" or the Jawa Sandcrawler complete with instructions for kids to put this together. The American version is fairly easy to find, while the Italian one is fairly hard to find. A third version exists in French and I hope to track it down one day.
