1978 Bucketheads

The 1978 Stormtrooper action figure by Kenner is a true icon for Star Wars collectors! With its classic white armor and blaster accessory, this figure was part of the original lineup that launched Star Wars toys into orbit. While the design was simple, the Stormtrooper’s instantly recognizable look made it a must-have for kids and collectors alike.

The first time they used the name "Imperial Stormtrooper" was for the Hoth troopers, 31-A backs debut card, then calling them (Hoth Battle Gear). 😎🤙

Loved the Stormys back in the day; the perfect opportunity for army building as they were pocket money prices back then! Now, not so much... Supplemental Fun Fact: in common with all the later Takara versions, the Stormy also came in a small box with a photo of the figure on the front, like Takara's own Microman line.

I love these.
I pick 'em up every chance I get.
I mainly try to go after (but not limited to) "hard torso" stormtroopers.
I like the agressive look and wide stance.

Earlier in the year, I got one that was in absolute perfect condition with zero paint/play wear.
I'm going to need a ton of these.
How ELSE are you going to display the Imp. Troop Transporter? ;)

When I was a kid it didn't matter at all that the bucket heads were missing that 5th poa. They were my go to baddies, harassing the rest of the gang while Luke had quality father/son time with dad.

Why no peg holes? Also your video production quality is unmatched, you’re preserving history! Thank you 🙌
