Millennium Falcon Toy as seen in Stranger Things

I’m not complaining, but I would like to point out that the Millennium Falcon toy featured on Stranger Things was not the original vintage version from 1983 or earlier. Although the molds are extremely similar, the vintage Millennium Falcon had stickers for the sublight engines, whereas the Falcon on the show had practical lights, which were not a feature the toy had until 2004.

New Toys!

These are terrible photos I took so I have a record of what accessories came with what figure.

First, the Uglies. T-800 was a Christmas present I believe. Found the Predator at Barnes and Noble for $5. Ugnaughts (my second set) were purchased at Kowabunga Comics a few years ago.

Power of the Jedi Darth Vader, then Cloud City Pilot. Both from Kowabunga Comics:

T-1000 and Sarah Connor, Christmas presents. Terminator purchased from Amazon. The T-800 I originally purchased only came with one of his weapons. Would a miscard be worth tons of money? Probably not.

Dark Empire Luke. Has some wear and didn’t come with his lightsaber, but he was only $1. And Floppy Hat Luke purchased from Kowabunga Comics.

Order 95

This is a Star Wars photo comic I finished on December 31, 2011. It used to be hosted on Nibcrom.com, but I figured it made more sense to host it here.

“Dark times have fallen on the Galactic Empire. With numerous resculpts of standard figures filling the shelves, countless repacks glutting the market, and neither a prequel nor even sequel in sight, fans and collectors have lost some of their frenzied appetite for 3.75″ Star Wars figures. Superior paint applications, better likenesses, and increased articulation should speak in favor of newly released figures, but such advancements have come at a staggering price, and even the most staunch collectors pause and perhaps even pass over new items.

“Exhausted from the Ultimate Galactic Hunt, completists have become an endangered species.

“Understanding that the future of his vast Empire hangs in the balance, Emperor Palpatine makes a desperate bid to retain power: Order 95, the extermination of all POTF2 figures. The Emperor hopes that the vacuum left behind will encourage consumers to replace their lost collectibles, not knowing that a handful of photonovelists are recording the progress of this dreadful order…”
