3:07 wow! thank you for telling me I had no idea, always thought it was hair

The Death Star top level replacement piece, the little lever peg on the bottom side of the gun is sometimes broken too, which causes it to not click in place. Unfortunately you have to replace the whole gun. Luke Jedi had a light and dark brown cape, and painted or molded face too😅 thanks for the info, happy collecting bro 😎🤙

The orange snake Yoda came out in July 1980 thus making the "32" back. He wasn't released with the other 10 at first to prevent a spoiler. He's listed in the 1981 catalog as coming with the second ESB wave, but technically, he came out in his own wave. The Sears exclusives also had the two Jabba Dungeons and Imperial Cruiser vehicle. Obviously the solid limbed C-3PO didn't have accessories and I count him as a separate figure from the removable limbs version as I would count the R2-D2 figures as separate figures. The Vlix figure was from Glasslite, but they likely used a Kenner sculpt.

A fun video! Another fun thing to look up is how Bossk was based on and related to the sculpt for Snaggletooth. Particularly the head but other parts as well. You’ll love this story!

[marcdavidgarcia]

Always wondered which figures came without accessories, now I know. Great video!

[billpaulk]

I knew a few Joey but not many. I appreciate you taking us back in time to how things were back in the 80s. Star Wars was originally made for kids and it makes sense that Kenner wouldn’t have produced a Slave Leia back then. I was watching A New Hope with my 7 year old nephew this weekend and he wouldn’t have been interested in a figure like that at his age (maybe in a few years he will - lol).

[Glassy]

Enjoyable list! And some great facts as well I see here from other people I didn’t know either

[bountyhunter]

Another great video!!
Love all the little details and historical facts!

An excellent follow up to your first "25 Facts" video Joey. Great job as always going above and beyond. Not sure how you're going to top this one, but I'm here for it!

@2:25 who sculpted the original Dewback? By the way, just a thought for an idea for an episode...maybe discuss the custom figures that are out there. I recently got a real leather saddle/rein set for my dewback that takes it to a totally other level. 🤩🥰🤗

[mikeharper]

Thanks for your video. It was as good as the last one. I thoroughly enjoyed it and looking forward to seeing what you do next. Best regards Mike

I have found the marks on my childhood Tauntaun: a 'B' on the left front paw and a 'C' on the right one. I tried looking it up but have never found anything about them. I guess it is still a mystery as to which Geddes family member they refer to.

I didn't know the fact about the Japanese C3PO variant. I always love learning new things about Star Wars toys!

[keithkogane]

I found it fascinating that the sculpture left his daughters names hidden in his work

[MarkBerry-xr]

Great videos! My Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker has a black palace blaster, not gray or brown. Is that rare?

[pascalh]

Hy Joey, didn't know the japan c3po ! And other like the luke pilot !

[CollectingwithCool]

I still need a Yak Face to finish the run

[BryanNew-xg]

I’m wondering. Some figures have come out saying they are a Stan Solo issued carded figure. I don’t remember what that is. Do you?

[Fiveash-Art]

Stuff like The Dewback, Wampa, Prob Droid, and TaunTauns weren't 'figures'.

[myfreedomfirst]

The reason they did not do the bikini Leia is she did no shooting of guns in the scenario. So, what would a boy do with it?

sadly vintage star wars figures are dropping in value alot recently, and grading is to blame... £30 loose figure graded at a cost of £25 then for sale at £150!! surely a £30 figure in a £25 case is a £55 figure? buyers have wised up and about time. Decent loose figures are getting hard to find due to graders so the hobby is getting too costly for most to bother now. I see (as a buyer and seller of vintage figures for over 40 years) loose figure sellers asking silly money as they feel that why should they sell a figure for £30 to someone who will invest £25 and then sell for 3 times what they paid, so loose sellers are putting the prices up to what they feel they are worth based on graded figure sales values. Grading is a joke and the cash cow is grinding down slowly but surely, so for example a rebel soldier graded 85 wont be £150+ but the £45 its actually worth.
