As always, a great video!! A fantastic idea of you to put together, in one video all this facts about some of the keener's SW figures. Keeping the history alive!!
On the Han Solo figure, what about the white legs Han variant? The white legs painted black were produced first, second came the black plastic legs, then the big head Han. On Zuckuss/4-Lom issue, I would argue that the droid gets the 4-Lom name. It makes sense to me. :) But if it was some sort of John Lennon/Yoko Ono thing, then that that's a different story. :) haha I still say the British kids got the better version not having to deal with the drilling sound for the Palitoy vehicles. :) Happy Fathers day :) Thanks for the video
Always love hearing vintage Kenner Star Wars figure facts, even if I know most of them. 😉 I hope that you and your family are having a relaxing memorial day holiday weekend. I'm sure happy to have even a day of downtime right now. Looking forward to the next 25 facts you come up with my friend!
Great video - another fact about the Palitoy X - wing that is somewhat "figure" related - the R2 dome was done in chrome, vs the US with a matte silver - to give a higher perceived value
There are actually 2 variants of the Small Head Han. The very first release had while legs that were painted black. They were a softer plastic and a bit rubbery. The releases after that had black molded legs in a stiffer plastic.
Didn't know that about Leia Boushh helmet hook or Jabba's Ledy squishy head 😂it's like the hidden door on the Millennium Falcon, it clips to bottom side of the main cover. Kenner came up with the name 4-LOM because it stood for " For the Love Of Money"🤑and all those variants, I hate that AFA doesn't acknowledge most of those on the labels on carded examples. I'm proud of you my Padawan ✊ you are ready to take the Jedi Trials😉👌 Happy collecting bro 😎🤙.. . Also, the Tusken Raider has a long eye tube variant 👍
The Palitoy X-Wing Fighter also replaced the Kenner moulded rear engine detail with a sticker, also to save production costs. Also, apart from the Kenner opening hood missing on the Palitoy Landspeeder, it had the Kenner rigid chrome plastic radiator grilles replaced by chrome stickers, again to save on costs. We lost out on a lot in the UK because of costs but it led to some interesting variants, including our beloved Palitoy Death Star... 😁
Really interesting Joey. I have been collecting since 1978 and know just a few of these facts. Never got a Tie Pilot. I better get one to see if he smells like Strawberry Shortcake - that is a bizarre one.
It was never available in Canada, despite it being released on a POTF Canadian card back. It was only widely available in Australia. The trilogo version did find its way into US KayBee stores in small numbers when that store was selling leftover trilogo stock at deep discounts in the later 80’s.
I've noticed another variation on the Lando Calrissian figure that isn't listed anywhere. Besides the white smile he has two distinct belt buckle sculps. One is a wide triangle pattern with a line running through the center and one with just the triangles and no line.
Great video, love your content. The question of the correct blaster for the Luke Skywalker Stormtrooper Disguise figure came up recently in one of the FB collectors groups. And someone posted a picture of their carded figure WITH the blue /black blaster. so it does exist. Also Klaatu is pronounced with a short "A" vowel sound, like "bat" or "fat". And it’s not only part of the phrase from the movie, but is also the name of the main alien character. The Day The Earth Stood Still is an excellent classic film, that has thematic relevance even today. you should watch it! Thanks again for the content!
The Leia Boushh weapon fits under the arm from the back , you raise her arm place weapon handle against her side (long part upwards) and bring the arm back down to her waist
My dad passed away in 2020 and my brother and I found a bunch of my old Star Wars toys from the 70s/80s in the crawlspace, including 2 of the vinyl caped Jawas (in the old Darth Vader carrying case) and I was curious as to how and where to get them appraised to sell. They're both loose, and I could only find one of their blasters. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm in a smaller city in Canada, and I don't even know where to begin. There's about 40 figures, but the Jawas are the only ones I know are supposedly worth anything substantial, and the "small-head Han Solo" I think is fairly rare too. Those ones are from either 1978 or '79. Thanks 😊
I am SO sorry for your loss, but I’m glad that you found his action figures. Here is a video I recently did that goes over all the current market prices for the action figures from Star Wars and the vinyl cape Jawa is among them that I go over: ua-cam.com/video/i7BjipD-8Fo/v-deo.htmlsi=wTlwX5kmLHS8oxZB. I hope this helps!
4LOM makes more sense for the character West End Games gave it to since he is more like a droid. Most droids have alphanumeric names, so the change is consistent.
Check with AFA on the Luke Storm Trooper Blue Black Blaster. Saw both next to eachother afa'd. But please dont think i'm trying to be smug. I dont evean have a loose one yet. They were in my friends collection. Thank you for making all of your cool vids.
Hi there, i love your channel which i have just found. I've always ben a big Star wars fan and i've just started on my collecting journey and have just got a Darth Vader signed by David Prowse and an admiral Motti signed by Richard Le Parmentier which says "The force works!" which i love lol😆but i also have some other Star wars action figures which have stickers on them, there's some nice figures but some have stickers on them and i wondered if you possibly knew a way to remove the stickers safely and without damage to the boxes?
In the entire run of SW/ESB/ROTJ/POTF/Droids/Ewoks carded figures there were only two that did not have two peg holes in their feet. One didn’t have any and the other only had one. Give up? FX-7 had zero peg holes Urgah Lady Gorneesh only had one peg hole /useless knowledge
If you enjoyed this video, please give it a like, it really helps me out! And please subscribe to see more videos like this.

I didnt know that the Falcon could dock on the Star Destroyer playset.

On the Han Solo figure,
what about the white legs Han variant?

On Zuckuss/4-Lom issue, I would argue that the droid gets the 4-Lom name.
It makes sense to me. :)

I still say the British kids got the better version not having to deal with the drilling sound for the Palitoy vehicles. :)

Thanks good to know! Thank you Stoddard!
Great video. Love these facts. Stuff every collector should know. (I still need that red bar R5 … one of only three variants that I don’t own)
You and me both!

Yak Face was also released in Australia back in the mid 80's
Thanks for the info Mike!
These are Great Facts can’t wait for the next 25’ keep them coming.
Thanks Gillster! More are coming today :).
hi Joey, your videos are always so interesting! and I learned more information! like for example the jaba lili ledy!
Thanks For watching Pascal! I’m really glad you enjoyed it :)
wow I did not nkow about that thank you sir for those facts
Thank you for tuning in Anthony!
Really interesting Joey. I have been collecting since 1978 and know just a few of these facts. Never got a Tie Pilot. I better get one to see if he smells like Strawberry Shortcake - that is a bizarre one.
Haha yea it’s totally bizarre! But I even remember as a kid smelling it and really loving the smell. I really do think they added that scent in.
Yak face was also released in Australia, i bought 2 from Kmart at the time of $0.65 each!
Wow! Do you still have them???
It was never available in Canada, despite it being released on a POTF Canadian card back. It was only widely available in Australia. The trilogo version did find its way into US KayBee stores in small numbers when that store was selling leftover trilogo stock at deep discounts in the later 80’s.
@@thepadawancollectorofficial no, sold them years ago. Repro version only now
A little unknown fact: Some tri-logo Yak Face were found with weapons and even a staff factory packed with it.
That’s cool to know. I wonder how much those examples have sold for
Great info!! Thanks! sooOOoo biiiiiig!!
I’m glad you enjoyed Greedo :)
I've noticed another variation on the Lando Calrissian figure that isn't listed anywhere. Besides the white smile he has two distinct belt buckle sculps. One is a wide triangle pattern with a line running through the center and one with just the triangles and no line.
Thanks for the info Ghost, I’ll have to look out for that variant
Awesome video!
Thanks Dr!

Ah!! You have to show me that! Even the grading companies don't acknowledge it, so it would be nice to get that graded and certified!
The Leia Boushh weapon fits under the arm from the back , you raise her arm place weapon handle against her side (long part upwards) and bring the arm back down to her waist
Awesome thank you GMB!!!
Great video joe!!
Thank you Andy!
Yak Face was also released carded in Australia.
Was it a Tolltoys?? Thanks for the info 🙌🏼

I think so too. But in my mind they will always be what Kenner called them

Yea I looked into it and still no grading company has ever found a carded example of like stormtrooper with a blue black blaster

Welcome to the channel Dragon!!! Here is a video by Nerdzoic that explains this pretty good
The Final 15❤️
🙌🏼
Kenner definitely messed up with the original Han Solo, (my favorite character), making that balloon head version!🤔🤦🏾😅
😂
I’ve got a robot thing with the legs on backwards.
Hey Trent! The probot droid? Or probe droid?
@@thepadawancollectorofficialthe white droid mate, i think. Cheers for getting back to me. 👍🏻
Quick question...do you own the Rebel Transport from either ESB or ROTJ line? If not what is your interest level
I just bought a version in box and complete. I am doing my vehicles and ships run so my interest is VERY high.
@@thepadawancollectorofficial one of the best playsets from the vintage line!! The box is one of my core memories
@@thepadawancollectorofficial also please do a video
Great Video, but If the Madine figure was only made in France, it shouldn't have "Made in Hong Kong" on the packaging.😃
The figures were made in Hong Kong and sent to France for packaging. It was the same in the US, UK, and elsewhere.
Leia Boushh’s staff sits under her left arm
🙌🏼
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I have some photos if you have somewhere to send them
Do you have the Life Day Chewbacca?
No I don’t have that one. Do you?
Yes. I came across it carded and in pristine condition on EBay.
Ther was somfing about the spanish made verion of the t fighter pilot i have 1 off those ,no ide how pay for that .
Love all the Spanish made figures 🙌🏼
I paid for your thing I wanted help of displays I've had
What did you need help with my friend?
In the entire run of SW/ESB/ROTJ/POTF/Droids/Ewoks carded figures there were only two that did not have two peg holes in their feet. One didn’t have any and the other only had one.
Give up?
FX-7 had zero peg holes
Urgah Lady Gorneesh only had one peg hole
/useless knowledge
Thanks for the trivia Pixel! I guessed FX-7 but didn’t know that about Lady G 🤯
