I remember being mesmerized by the Kenner C-3PO as a kid. He was my first figure and I would stare at how cool he was. Mind you that back in the 70s we had some cool figures but none that shiny and golden. Then you put R2 next to him and even better together! I am glad you like the retro collection Nick. You are an old soul.

Great tour of your collection! "Impressive, most impressive."

I always liked the Death Squad Commander, even as a kid I lked him, probably because he was one of my first Star Wars figure. 💪🤓

I had them all as a kid - still have them 45 years later! Great video OOK!

Your knife skills had me on edge 😅 Great collection 👏🏻

I love how you mix the various eras of figures, it just feels very fun and like a time capsule!

I love the retro style, I only collect this so I love mando retro

I think it’s fine that they aren’t exact replicas, they are good enough I bought them all on sale it was totally worth it if you like vintage ‘80’s simplicity. I have most of the vintage ones too, and there are definitely differences which protect the vintage market.

Must admit, the Jawa, Sandperson and the droids are the only Retro figures that tempt me. The sticker completely came off my childhood R2 but I still have him and all my original Kenner figures in varying states of well-lovedness. All Things 80s has some good side-by-side comparisons and these six are significantly better than the first six retro figures.

Yesh, I love Dean, and seen his vid too for sure 👍🏻

I can't believe that c-3po is a removable limbs

1978 when SW items hit the store shelves it was perfect timing, I was 14 yrs old and my younger brother loved and wanted the SW figures ,ship’s ,vehicles. What made it perfect is that summer I had a summer job making about $2 an hour 40 hours a week ,but that summer every pay check we added and built our SW collection ships ,vehicles and figures. And that following December we received the DeathStar. 1978 was a yr to remember.

i get what ya mean when u say smell of the figures...i aint had no star wars figures in over 30 yrs but i still remember that smell...found a few old figures few mnths bk and dam it took me right bk to bein in the shop as a kid seein all the figures hangin up....if i only knew theyd be this big now and collectable....i used to just rip open the boxs...includin all the ships...dam i sold them all bout 30 yrs ago for like £10. wish i still had them...

They did start making the figures in 1978. I think they just gave it a 1977 copyright date since that's the year the movie came out. Excellent set up or Retro Collection Star Wars Action Figures! Also excellent diorama setups of vintage and modern figures colliding !

As well as having the retro collection, I still have my original Palitoy 12 figures. My Dad bought me the first 8 in the Autumn of 1978 and the remaining 4 I collected by Christmas 1978. For me The British Palitoy cards looked far better than the American Kenner. I am thinking of recarding my original 12 on repo Palitoy cards.

I love this set. Was surprised that the 3po was removable limbs? But what ever so cool

I pre-ordered the set from Pulse and it arrived a few months back now, and I wanted to keep them on card (the cards were good). I just saw them individually listed from a seller on Ebay (as low bids) and thought why not have a few bids and get them to open - anyway, I won all of them except the Jawa (which I wasn't too bothered about) and the total incl. p&p came to £70.16 :D I could've just bought another set from Pulse for £70.99 !!!! - what a dongle! Shows you can get carried away when bidding on auctions.

I had the death squad commander the only one of these I had . Had most of the empire line and rotj line

I love this set, really enjoying all the Retro releases, I had every one of these figures as a kid of the 70's, but sadly got rid of them all. I'm keeping all my Retros together at the moment, away from my modern, but I like how you have sprinkled them amongst your collection.

Great video.....

The R2 and 3PO are superb but I thought the head sculpt for the Obi-Wan is disappointing compared to the original.

The plastic on these is slightly gummier, and as you said almost translucent because it's less dense. Odd. This set contains three of the figs I most wanted but never got back in the day.

Just a nitpick, they should have recreated the much rarer version of the Sand People / Tusken Raider... the one with the hollow cheek tubes. PS, as far as losing your gaffi stick right off the bat.. as a kid in the 70s & early 80s my house had shag carpeting... Once a gun or weapon was dropped onto / into that it was gone forever!

My daughter bought me the 1st multi pack retro new hope set last year for my birthday, I asked her if could get me this 2nd set this year… Ben was my first Star Wars figure ever..l

All my life I've always wondered by kenner never did a rebel fleet trooper. (Back in the 70s)

Seems to me that STAR WARS wasn't finished when they started the line. Kenner were working with production stills and sketches directly from Lucasfilm. Consider the Cantina figures. Remember Walrus-man? Lol. Beloved figures but they screwed the pooch. I kinda believe that the Rebel trooper in the mind or Lucasfilm thought they're screen time and the immediately defeat from the Empire. They wouldn't sell well. Or they were already in production of the Episode V and scrapped the idea. Maybe the same reason they never made Grand Moff Tarkin? Cheers!

Love the background music!! I can’t wait to get these!! 😮😊

These are fantastic. Thank you. I just wish they didn't ruin the cards with that huge retro sticker.

Was it just me that was emotional when 3-P0 and R2 were together? I know TVC are great but nothing beats the nostalgia of opening these Retro figures, I was there first time around and my first ever figure was R2 in 78’ , I still have him in bits and a hand drawn decal plus a carded Jedi one. I’m hoping this set comes back into stock or out individually cos they was out of stock when I tried !

Great video of some fantastic figures! I’m really loving the retro collection right now. Just picked up 3 figures from the Return of the Jedi line and I’m enjoying them a lot. Thanks for all the awesome content and have a good one. 😀🤟

Nice pick up Nick! Can’t wait to get my set open and displayed. And I’m working on the original vintage first 12 as well 😉😅

This second F12 set is absolute fire🔥🔥The Tusken Raider is still a personal favourite of mine - for the time it had a great facial sculpt and features👌 Yes some of the plastic is a little soft compared to originals but it’s far better than the ROTJ wave where it’s so obvious Hasbro cheaped out! As a lover of original vintage and your channel it’s really heartening to see how much you’re enjoying these figures amongst your shelves 😍👍

The bubles should be scaled down like the 2019 wave. The Ben Kenobi lightsaber was never semi-translucent. It was solid blue plastic and very similar to the retro one, I think. I was a kid of the '70s and have the entire run of SW Kenner figures (except a repro blue Snaggletooth).

@OnlyOneKenobi

Hard to explain what I mean... but look of that thar solid blue plastic had a semi translucent quality, is what meant. Probably as its reflective... but it was bright, almost as if light were shining through at specific parts.

I am so glad they did the next 6 figures from the original 12. R2 and C3PO look fantastic. A shame about the cards though....other than that they do look good on display.

You are 100% right - THE RETRO COLLECTION SHOULD BE JUST FOR THE RE-MAKES OF THE ORIGINAL FIGURES - they are slapping retro collection stickers on any old S--T now just to sell some extra figures.

P.S. The First 12 all had 1977 Date Stamp as that’s when the molds were made but Kenner couldn’t get them out in time until 1978 with Early Bird Certificate quartet first, and the other 8 soon followed. The next 12 all had 1978 date stamp on them (X-Wing Luke, Greedo etc)😊
