I liked this before I even watched this Tony, as the content is always brilliant

I just finished my loose Vintage collection this year after starting in 1980. I finally collected them all!

Got to confess that when I go to a car boot sales I always keep an eye out for Snaggle tooth or Bobba Fett

I loved this! Empire Strikes Back toys ring so much memories... :`(

I have sooo many of the first ones. My dad used to collect them. That means I have the first luke!the milinium falcon still works!boba feTT ANDDDDD SOO MUCH MORE

As a child of the '70s I can remember waiting on things, and February 1st until June 1st would have been quite a wait.

God, I remember sending in for those special mail-order figures & accessories! Any business today that took that long to deliver its stuff would, well, go *out* of business!

The original 12 Kenner Star Wars figures where great character choices that allowed playtime to be a joy. Followed up with a great Boba Fett promotion just made this an exciting time to be a kid. I was very lucky to be of the right age to enjoy the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back lines. Unfortunately the Jedi Line was disappointing and I gravitated to G.I. Joe ARAH. This was a thoughtful overview of Kenner's Star Wars toys and your love of these toys shows in this videos quality. Thanks for your hard work and inspiration to produce better quality videos.

Looking back at how young the toy industry was, I'm a little surprised the C-3p0 had such excellent metallic paint.

Well researched. Brings back memories when I bought my first Star wars figure (R2D2) in 1978

Before the action figures came out, I was inspired by the painted artwork of the characters to draw my own paper character figures (yes, even Biggs!)

Watching these on a binge watch on a Saturday night.. Best sat night I've had In ages.. Thankyou.. Bloody great uploads..spoilt for choice of which to watch first.. Obv this was second watch but would been first had I not been notified about six million dollar man first.. Great uploads. Absolutely fantastic watch.

I think I must have had almost every figure and ship, And I remember my mum giving all of it away to a kid down the street. lol

When I was a kid, I received these toys every birthday and christmas. In the end, I had most of them. The collection came to over 15 large moving boxes. After growing up and dealing with real life issues, I had to move into a small 2 bedroom place with a roommate and found I had no place to store my collection. I ended up donating everything to Children's Hospital of Orange County. Sometimes, I want to kick myself for doing that. Other times, I hope they brought as much happiness to those kids like they did for me.

That AT-AT is one of my all-time favorite toys ever!! I remember getting it for Christmas in '81 and being beyond excited! I spent many, many hours playing with my Star Wars figures and adding the AT-AT to my collection, took it to another level.

This is an absolutely classic line. What Kenner did with Star Wars has forever shaped and changed toy isles around the world. And Star Wars continues on

The Star Wars novelization was the first paperback I bought with my own money back in 1976. Had several figures like Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, and C-3PO, and the Land of the Jawas playset. Ironically, I never had a Han Solo figure, and he's my #1 fave Star Wars character! Also wished I had the Millennium Falcon & Imperial Troop Transporter & Death Star.

I remember getting the emperor in a mail away offer funny thing in 89 I was in a shop in Blackpool and saw a moulded tray with a dozen emperor figures

This was a great video! Thanks!

Thanks I feel like a kid again watching this. the marketing with kids making the commercials was talking directly to their fan base

Another great video Tony. Thanks for sharing all your hard work and efforts with us. Keep up the great work.. looking forward to episode 8.

I started collecting them in 1978 and had probably half of them (along with some Star Wars model kits that I built). They sat in my parents loft for some years after I let home, and my mum eventually sold the whole box at her church sale.

Star Wars Episode IV a New Hope forever will be my all time favorite movie & certainly will forever be my favorite Star Wars movie in the series. Glad I have em in a dvd box set. Pop some extra butter microwave popcorn & watch em on a large screen tv. Just some great times for sure!!!

I got the Early Bird for Christmas when I was 10 years old. One figure I longed for was a Rebel Fleet Trooper that we never got. The first battle we saw was the Stormtroopers vs the Rebel Fleet troopers. A very exciting scene for a 10 year old me. I was never able to play out that battle, unless I used the Death squad commander as Rebel Fleet troopers.

Got to agree with you on some of Kenners ROTJ and POTF choices - anakin, imperial dignitary, 2 versions of Klaatu!? The 2 glaring omissions were Tarkin and a Y-Wing pilot! We got a great vehicle with no pilot!!

Awesome review, man!! Brings back so many memories! Well done!!

This is a Really good video to show to so,women to explain this. Short, informative, well done, and entertaining. Great job Tony!

I'm 47 years old and still have most of my original Star Wars and ESB toys. No ROTJ stuff though, so at 11 or so, I must have stopped buying them. Thanks for another great video!

Seeing the figures then remembering which ones you had ...then remembering hiw stoked you were to have them. Hoth figures? So cool.

I wish I was born in the 70s or 80s! I was born in the early 2000s so I never had a chance to see the peak of popularity of star Wars movies and toys and I wasn't able to collect them normally but it's fun getting and collecting from where I can.

Awesome review Tony. Fantastic all the way.

Best film in the 70s and still to day .STARWARS

Great summary of Kenner!..I've watched your videos for a while now. I've started doing vintage Star Wars videos too.

Great video. Great to learn the background to the toys I played with

Great stuff! I never knew that the 3.75 size was determined by their play-set and vehicle ambitions, that's a fine piece of knowledge right there!

I still have my vintage Kenner collection from my childhood, and have some of it on display in my living room today. I actually had the blue Snaggle Tooth with silver boots figure, but I foolishly traded it away to my cousin for the red figure. Had I known as a child that the figure would be valuable today I would have kept it, but at the time I wanted the figure that was more accurate to the movie. Oh well.

Spent my Sunday watching all your vids! Great stuff!

Really good job my friend, great narrating simple and interesting.

Excellent work, mate. Very well presented. Awesome shirt.

I still have most of those items today, back then I used to use them to reenact scenes from the "Star Wars" movies down to its exact detail and views on how it was shown in the movie as well as the sound effects and tunes after seeing the movies at least thirty times each.

"They are afraid of your snake Yoda!" That was akward...

sad note... I had the cantina playset as a small child...My cousin threw my snaggletooth onto the roof of his apartment building... i was devistated... so eventually my dad got me a single card snaggletooth...i was confused as to why it was so different.. it wasn't until many many years later that i understood what had happened that day.

Your inserts are endlessly impressive!

great video as always you cant beat nostalgia

I would really like to see the current retro line do a blockade runner, a TIE Bomber, and maybe a few others. And for retro figures, rebel fleet trooper, rebel pilots, and a wide range of astromechs. Great video!!

A+ Just found your channel. & cannot wait to watch every ep!!! TY

And today we see the modern Disney star wars figures in shops gathering dust. Little boys don't want those figures from the new Disney star wars movies and i don't blame them.

Fantastic overview and video. I had most of these, then I moved out and mom gave it all to a local junkman.

Cool video! I am a loose star wars kenner collector!

Awesome video Tony, I got goosebumps saying "i had that" "i didn't had that" "i want that" 😂 Great video man, can't wait for the next one 👍🏼

This was great!

Great work, dude!!!!

This is one of your best videos to date. Would be interesting for you to cover the so-called "Star Wars" survival kit: a set of plastic guns, gas masks, and accessories such as backpacks, grappling hooks, and other objects, for use with Kenner figures. I sent away to Kenner for mine in about 1981 and it arrived, LITERALLY, over one year later, but it did arrive! Would love to see you do an episode on that (if you haven't already!). Also, a friend of mine had the rare snaggletooth figure. Of course, we had no idea it would be worth something someday and played with it all the time...out of the package (gasp!).

Can you imagine what would happen if Kenner passed on Star Wars? Too weird!

Awesome video thanks for sharing:)

I loved the vintage figurine from back in the days I got most of the films not the very new ones but one for them

Great video very entertaining and interesting

Thanks for this! I have some of these figures now! I found them in a basement from an elderly friend that passed away. I wanted to know the history of them and what they were worth. Thank you for the insight

great video have some power of the force on card but no vintage just loose

This makes me want to go to the toy aisle and buy THESE star wars toys

Great job dude!!

NICE video!

"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?"

Had all of them. Have the actual small head Han Solo which would have been worth thousands but of course took it out of the package.

Just discovered this channel, GREAT content!

I have them all! I got them before they were so rare!

Perfect video 👍

Great review

I had a 12 inch Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker action figures. The small figures I never collected.

I just started collecting the ones my older brothers had...

That commercial at the end gave me Nam flashbacks.

Awesome toys

The blockade runner is one of the greatest spaceships ever designed

I am only twelve, I LOVE THE 80S, Y'know Arnold movies, Rambo, Knight Rider, Starsky and Hutch, Back to the Future, police Academy, The Goonies, Ghostbusters and that's not even a quarter of them, and ESPECIALLY STAR WARS!!! I've been collecting Vintage since I was five, in my class I've been called '80s kid' and 'The 1980s and Star Wars Guy' so there my two Nick names, keep up the grand work

If I only had stock in Kenner before 1976 I'd be a millionaire today.

You're awesome man!

Great video👍🏼

I was an Empire kid, loved getting all the imperial figures and ships. Also the micro-machines were probably a bigger interest for me than the figures since the ships were way more accurate to the movie.

I love the dignitary.

What's with the 4 dislikes? This video should have 10,000 likes and 0 Trekkies ruining the fun. 🤣

No joke in my basement I have a scout trooper that is still white it is not mine but I am amazed

the mandela effect c3po 1 leg is now silver colored in the movies , somehow they are not changed with some toy lines >:=)

My death star playset was the circular one with trash compactor.. Worth masses now.. Lord knows what happened to it. I'm 47 now. Lol

way back when, I went to a collectibles toy fair with my cousin and we saw farm boy Luke still sealed in the package and POTF2 super buff farm boy luke. I was more interested in Lego Star Wars at the time and I took no notice. I wish I did and shoudve got them

@5:48, you have the 2nd run of Han Solo ( the one everybody calls fathead Solo ), not the first one. The commercial you show has the first run in it. I still have my Early Bird figure set and the plain white box they came in.

I guess, once a Star Wars fan, always a Star Wars fan even though the sequel trilogy was garbage. Thank God for the Mandalorian, Clone Wars and Bad Batch series to keep up our interest.

This video is really cool, I have many of the figures as a kid and still do today such as: Luke Skywalker Han Solo Chewbacca Darth Vader Stormtroopers (4 of them) Boba Fett Princess Leia Obi-Wan Kenobi Tuskan Raider Jawa Death Squad Commander R5-D4 Greedo Walrus Man Hammerhead Snaggletooth Death Star Droid Power Droid Lando Calrissian Jabba The Hutt The Emperor The Emperor’s Royal Guard Gammorean Guard Bikerscouts (3 of them) Weequay Klatuu Nikto Klatuu Skiff Guard 8D8 Sy Snootles Max Rebo Droopy McCool Bib Fortuna Squid Head Ree Yees And I have more of them I still have them from the 70s and 80s today

I will go into purchasing kenner star wars figures on eBay in the next few days

""I have my laser pistol" hahahahahahaha!

Mego would probably still be in business today, if they jumped on the toy rights!

If only we knew how things would go and what value our cheapo plastic toys would have in modern times.

*Fun fact:* Red Snaggletooth isnt even in 'A New Hope'. He is actually in the Holiday Special!

I'd like to see a video on Yak Face

Ace video mate.

I will go into purchasing kenner star wars figures in there packaging on eBay I recently found an advert in the sun newspaper a collector purchased 93 figures at a Tesco store originally priced £1:59

There was a whole box of these at an antique store

i vaguely remember Luke (Jedi) being released with a blue saber also wondering why kenner took 3 movies to get Luke's saber the correct color

Yes yes.. and Battlestar Galactica and Buck rogers was just as good and free on TV!

I don't know where you get your info, but Mego's Planet of the Apes figures were a huge hit!

The first Star Wars movie remains the best! I've had several figures & toys (Bespin Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Bespin Princess Leia, R5-D4, C-3PO & the Darth Vader TIE Fighter & Imperial Star Cruiser), but its very disappointing that the Star Wars figures lacked the level of articulation that HASBRO's G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero line.
