Ree is the Magic Number. (Vintage Ree-Yees)
Kenner released around 100 different action figures between 1977 and 1985. I’d be hard-pressed to name one that has a more compelling sculpt, more attention to detail, and just generally more love poured into it than the diminutive Ree-Yees from Return of the Jedi. It’s ironic considering that the character had about 1.8 seconds of screen time!
Got a favorite character that might not be in the spotlight of popularity? Let me know in the comments.
Rebels on Ice.
(Vintage Snowspeeder, Vintage Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot,
Vintage R2-D2, Vintage Han Solo (in Hoth Battle Gear))
The vintage Snowspeeder easily makes it among my top three vehicles that Kenner made for its 1977-1985 vintage line of Star Wars toys.
The Snowspeeder picks up points over it’s hottest competition (Millennium Falcon and the X-Wing Fighter) in its winning light & sound action. When you press the secret button beneath the Snowspeeder’s chassis, the long front cannons pulse with what appears to be moving light bursts, advancing from base to tip. And the accompanying sound is spot on with its own synchronized rhythm.
It’s a charming truth that the instructions included with vintage Star Wars toys boasted in large, bold, all-caps type this motto: WE REALLY DO CARE. And you know something? Judging by their Snowspeeder’s awesome design and construction, I really believe they did.

The Take-Down Two. (Vintage Admiral Ackbar, Vintage General Lando Calrissian)
Who do you call to lead a merry band of Rebels into battle?
Oh yeah: Admiral Ackbar and General Lando “Lady’s Choice” Calrissian.
That is of course if you want to kick some ass.

Doing Bib’s Bidding (Vintage Bib Fortuna)
If I haven’t said it before I’ll say it now. The vintage Bib Fortuna action figure is approximately 100% creepier than the actual character from Return of the Jedi. I like that the guys at Kenner decided to give him some extra mileage in the blood-curdling department. No added charge!
Now before I sign off I’ll come clean. There’s an alterior motive for showcasing Bib today. You got it. I am brazenly and shamelessly plugging some current auctions I have going on over at eBay for three lovely vintage Star Wars action figures still sealed on their original 1983 cards. Presently going cheap!
Back to Black. (Vintage Darth Vader, Vintage Darth Vader’s Tie Fighter with Custom Paint)
A couple of years ago I found myself on a roll scoring interesting finds from local sellers looking to unload vintage Star Wars toys from their storage. As is always the case in these situations you get some gems and you get stuff that’s seen better days (hey, nothing that’s vintage and Star Wars is junk, right?).
After a few of these encounters I found myself with four Darth Vader’s Tie Fighters from 1978. Three were in overall straight condition and one was just barely limping by, begging for either a noble burial or the breath of new life. Well after a good cleaning the path was clear: I would take the sucker apart and hit it inside and out with some matte black spray enamel.
The results are at least partially seen in the photo above.
