I LOVED Empire Strikes Back when it first came out. Specifically Hoth. The Rebel Alliance snow troopers...I had two of them back in 1981.
So I put them with my original Tauntaun and magic was born. So I have three Hoth rebel troopers now. I am now army building to only 4 so....I am on the lookout for another one.
They are SO cool! I love the new Star Wars figures! I didn't get any in the nineties due to their buffed up appearance but these are heavenly! I think I might limit my focus for awhile to New Hope and Empire...Gotta find me something that looks like snow to better pose them in.
Star Wars Fever can be a tough one to shake Hobby but then again why would you want too lol. : )
ReplyDeleteI am a Star Wars freak again.
DeleteThese guys look cool.....the original looked lame to me. Glad to see they made an improvement !
ReplyDeleteI loved the originals but do agree....With compared to today's toys...LAMEO!
DeleteI too am a born again Star Wars freak. I have been building a small Luke Skywalker collection and would love to add more to it soon.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your Star Wars collection.
Thanks! I really just started this year though. I have so little. I do not even have a Luke.
DeleteThe mind boggles at what toys will come over the next decade with the announcement of the new movies. In the meantime, these rebel troopers look great. I love the detail of the newer figures, but the vintage versions are what spark the kid in me.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! I am just kicking myself over not getting the stuff that DID come out all those years ago. I was in a 6 inch collectors mentality and had no time for Star Wars.
