Shadow of the Empire Action Figures

We look back at the 1996 Hasbro/Kenner Shadows of the Empire line.

[_The_Worst_]

Ah, 1996, such a beloved time...😌 I had just turned 10 at the end of October...🎂 I loved playing Shadows of the Empire on Nintendo 64...🎮 I keep a Dash Rendar figure hanging on my wall to ceremoniously commemorate all the fun I had with playing the game...😏 I often look at it and smile because it takes me back to the simpler times in life...❤

Of all the Expanded Universe material from back in those days Shadows of the Empire was my personal favorite! I still have and often read the novel and comics while listening to the fantastic soundtrack! I had all the figures loose back then and have recently gone back to get them in the packaging. While not worth all that much I really like the figures.

Shadows of the Empire; talk about a moment in time.

Although the film was not made, all the stuff around SOTE is amazing. Great vídeo once again. Regards from Spain.

I just bought an Outrigger in the box with a loose Dash Rendar with accessories! Can't wait for it to arrive. This collection is small. I may just get it all. I also have the Secrets of The Shadows of the Empire book and the Soundtrack CD on their way too! Fun!

It was a missed opportunity to not put Dash Rendar in The Last Jedi fighting along side Lando and Wedge.

Shadows of the Empire was the first video game to scare the SHIT out of me.

I had the Dash Rendar action figure while my cousin had the Outrider (we both had Slave 1). I also had Bounty Hunter Chewbacca but never got my mitts on Imperial Guard Luke.

Ahhh the memories.

I loved this line! As a kid my favorite figures were always the character/outfits that weren’t in the movie. I never had the full set back in the day but now I am trying to collect them all

Awesome rundown of the unforgettable story of "Shadows Of The Empire". I really hate that this wasn't a movie, because the story & all the marketing that came with it was just that good. Take care & keep up the amazing work, Junk Man!

The Shadows of the Empire toy commercial sounded like Mark Hamill narrated it. I liked this line, only one I didn't get was Chewie, but while I enjoyed the Dash Rendar figure thanks to the N64 game, but I wished a Guri figure had been made, too. Sadly this line hurt the release of the Expanded Universe wave in 1998. For those, I was lucky to get Thrawn, Mara Jade, DE Luke, DE Leia and the Clone Emperor at Toys R Us and that was the only time I saw any of those on the pegs.

My brother and I have lots of fun memories of the video game! Also as a Micro Machines collector I'm really happy they made Micros for Shadows of the Empire!

I'm a Big fan of Shadows of the Empire, I have the novel...

I remember my buddy getting the soundtrack. They really did present it as the Star Wars movie that never was with all the stuff released surrounding it.

Hard to imagine as much time has passed since Shadows of the Empire as between the original Star Wars released in ‘77 and when Shadows of the Empire released in ‘96

Interesting video, I’m slowly reading the novel right now. I see these action figures for sale every now and then on eBay and wonder if I should buy them. Maybe I’ll pick them up sometime, they look interesting

I've recently found your channel so there are going to be comments on old videos bro! Another great video!

Remember getting dash on my 10th birthday. Was like who the hell is this? But his look fit in with the rest well.

I really enjoyed SOTE. Even though no Han. Keep up the good work Star Wars Junk dude. Thirtieth view second comment.

Great idea for a video. You should do the force unleashed line next from 2008
