February 8th - the Spirit of Obi-Wan

The Spirit of Obi-Wan

Hasbro Star Wars Frito-Lay mail-away

This one takes us back all the way to 1997...the excitement of Star Wars returning to theaters was about to give the franchise new life, a life that we couldn't foresee spinning into the horrible prequel mess we know today. Hard to remember a time when Star Wars merchandise was scarce, yet, for only 2 chip bag upc's and 2 bucks, you could have one of the first of thousands of new Star Wars figures. He's clear, his arms and head don't move, and he came in a lil white box with no proper card: The Spirit of Obi-wan. At least the Fruit Loops Han Solo in Stromtrooper Disguise had moving joints!

January 8th - Stormtrooper (the Star Wars Trilogy)

Stormtrooper from the Star Wars Trilogy (the good one!!!)

3 3/4 in figures by Hasbro

You can never have enough of these guys for cheap target fodder for much cooler action figures. What fun it is to spend hours on end setting up legions of Stormtroopers only for the few exhilarating seconds it takes for your Han Solo figure to mow 'em down on a routine Falcon flyby! And yes, with every one of them that is shot, thrown off a cliff, incinerated, or cut down by a lightsaber, they all make that famous Wilhelm Scream in my mind.
