I had the BobaFett with the rocket launcher the red missile would actually fire… then we decided to make him fly, strapped a C7 Estes rocket engine to him and poof, lost somewhere in the swamp… It was a glorious sad day…
Thank you and thanks for subscribing. Truly appreciate the support. My brothers first figure was Chewie so he’d probably put him at #1. We’ve all got our favs. Thanks for the comment and MTFBWY
Thank you! I love comments like this for their kindness but it also reassures me that I’m heading in the right direction with this channel!! Thanks for supporting the channel and for watching and as always MTFBWY
Damn. I've had the Leia disguised as Boussh action figure since I was a kid and it's one of my favourites, I didn't know you could do that with the weapon and helmet.
Great video Doug, some interesting choices there! Everybody's top 10 is different and it's fun to know which figures are important to other people. Thanks for the video sir!
Thank you. Yes, everybody’s top 10 is different! It’s the beauty of vintage Kenner Star Wars. Every kid has that one figure that brings a huge smile to their face. And NO figure is exempt from the top 10! Thanks for the kind words and for supporting the channel!!!
That gun on the Boosh disguise Princess Leia figure didn't always have the gun handle to where she could point it like a gun. My childhood one didn't even though all the photos I saw from Kenner did. Then I got the retro collection version which actually has the gun handle. So in my childhood, Leia had to carry it around like a stick. It sucked, but was happy I kept it for so long before the gun got lost like her helmet! I don't believe I was able to ever get the helmet to sit on her back like what you're doing. Great video!
Thanks Tim. Very much appreciate the perspective on Boussh. Small accessories like helmets and the like were so tough to keep track of. I took meticulous care of my figures yet I somehow lost Droopy McCools sax never to find it again. Thanks for supporting the channel and as always MTFBWY
I don’t think a cloth robe would’ve worked on the Emperor, but I agree a cloth cape and loose lightsaber on Vader should’ve definitely been done as Luke was
Agreed. Cloth goods would have been a challenge for Palpatine but I still would have liked to see them attempt it. Probably would have been an epic fail but still would have liked to have seen it.😊
As a young, 24 year old collector wanting to preserve and collect these awesome toys, where do you recommend going for info and where to start? Any insight you have is helpful! Im really enjoying your channel and all the knowledge you have on the Kenner line! Keep em rolling!
By the way, I do actually have a connection to some of the Kenner toys! My brother is 10 years older than me and he'd picked up a MOC Luke in Stormtrooper, MOC Emperor, and MOC Imperial Dignitary at a flea market when he was a kid. Being the 5 year old I was, I went into his room, opened them, and played with them. I kick myself for it now, but they got many hours of play! Unfortunately, I have no clue what happened to them
Thanks for watching and your interest in “picking my brain”. I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel. That’s exactly what I was shooting for when I started it. A couple of valuable resources are the Steve Sansweet book “From concept to screen to collectible” and the full length documentary Plastic Galaxy. Both excellent sources for info… and of course myself lol. Thanks for the support of the channel and for watching! MTFBWY
I had the Empire Luke you have at number 4, and it had what I now realise was a flaw, in that the tone of paint for each hand was different... two different flesh tones. I always thought it was supposed to be like this and that one hand was his artificial hand.
i don't know if i have a top ten, i liked how the return of the jedi figures like the Jabba's aliens had more detail in their faces/and bodies? sculpting? i liked Squid Head and Weequay and Klaatu for those reasons, i liked the gonk droid when i was little because of the sound he made when you moved his feet? i wondered why the R2 figure didn't look like the character in the movie, the movie one didn't have a nose?, they had one like the toy in the Ahsoka tv show , when the Lothal police were trying to stop Sabine on her speeder bike. i liked the lando and leia in disguise because of their removable helmets, i liked the yoda figure because he was small and cute. i don't know if Jabba counts but i liked his figure and i liked the Hoth Wampa and also the Band i liked Sy Snootles and Max Rebo
All great choices my friend and like I said there are no wrong answers! Thanks for your input and for sharing fond memories with me. That’s what this channel is all about: community! Thanks for your support and for watching and as always MTFBWY
Great top 10! I always wondered where Fett's color scheme came from, and then I came across this video of his first ever appearance. Its still hard to tell, but I think he has the figure's coloring. ua-cam.com/users/shortsQ566VPZN0-4
Yes he does. I have the Hot Toys version of that Boba Fett. He comes with multiple accessories to create that exact look including the helmet with the “horns” detail. It’s an amazing figure that I will review on the channel at some point. Thanks for your input on the very mysterious origin of everyone’s favorite Bounty Hunter. MTFBWY
Yoda is a great figure that ends up in a lot of top 10 lists. R2, like I said, was my very first figure so he’s # 1 for nostalgic reasons. The Jawa throws a lot of people off but it was and still remains my favorite figure from my childhood. Those “disgusting creatures” have a special place in my heart. Thanks for watching my friend and MTFBWY

Great Top 10. Mine is very similar. Bespin Luke and Yoda are my Top 2. My first figure was Chewbaca. Glad I found your channel.

I have a couple of that figure (one with brown hair and one with yellow hair) and my yellow haired version had that flaw as well.
great list
Thanks Junkman!!😊
Good choices! My list is a bit different but a lot of the same.
Thank you! Everybody has their favorites but it’s nice to know I’m in the ballpark with most other fans choices.😊

@@DougAlan-atswc I'd like to see that review!
Jawa, Yoda and R2-D2 in your top ten?🤦🏾 Yeah that definitely caught me bye surprise?
Yoda is a great figure that ends up in a lot of top 10 lists. R2, like I said, was my very first figure so he’s # 1 for nostalgic reasons. The Jawa throws a lot of people off but it was and still remains my favorite figure from my childhood. Those “disgusting creatures” have a special place in my heart.
