Everytime Stan Solo puts out something, I am always constantly impressed by the quality and accuracy to what the Kenner toy would've been. The Trash Compactor parts are also very cool as well.

What is the story with the red Amanaman? Is it just an alternate colour of the same character or another of his species?

@@silvervalleystudios2486 I don't know a ton about Star Wars toys, but I believe the character is called Amaulman and is supposed to look like Darth Maul. Its just a fan created character I believe.

I've been a happy customer of both Trash Compactor and Stan Solo. They keep the classic Kenner dream alive and allow my collecting to continue. Thanks for continuing to highlight these types of cool products and talented toy makers.

Wow! I never knew that was a vehicle. I always thought it was a droid. Still learning new things about Star Wars 👍

The amount of thought put into these action figures, vehicles and accessories is truly remarkable. Kudos to Stan Solo and Trash Compactor. They are allowing me the chance to take the Star Wars Collection I always dreamed of having, and turning it into a reality. I can't wait to see what they will do next. Big thanks to RetroBlasting for Keeping The Force Strong!

You know it's amazing work when somebody like me, who is NOT a Star Wars collector, wishes I was just so I could get in on the fun :) Glad these guys exist, their passion for their work is inspiring in my own

Individual specialized weapon accessories were what I dreamed of as a kid.

Wow! I just had a HUGE smile on my face watching this one. Trash Compactor really is coming up with some wonderful accessories, and Stan? Well…his stuff is just fantastic.

I support both Stan solo and trash compactor. They make awesome options for collectors that go beyond the 96 out there.

The fact that this video made my heart jump again with vintage STAR WARS toy excitement (on Christmas Eve of all days) after all these decades makes this officially one of the Best Videos Ever in my book. Thank you!

Outstanding video and outstanding work from the makers! I would love to see what designs Stan Solo could come up with if he decided to make more vehicles that were "just outside the view of the camera". I had every single mini-rig from Empire because I didn't have to wait until birthday or Christmas to get them.

There’s something heartwarming about the fact that a 40+-year-old line of action figures and vehicles is still being breathed new life thanks to talented artisan fans. So many of these feel like trash, compactor and stand solo, were able to mine my childhood imagination and deliver stuff we always thought would have been cool in our collections.

Trash Compactor and Stan Solo. Geniuses and two of the main reasons I continue in the vintage Star Wars hobby. Love it. Love the review. Love them x

Thanks Michael, you're too kind! 🙂

Thanks for showcasing these two creators.

Loving your t-shirt!

These videos actually make me glad I'm not a Star Wars collector, because stuff like this would make me go down such a deep rabbit hole trying to get all this cool stuff!!

Michael, every time you do these videos spotlighting makers like Stan Solo, Trash Compactor, or Joseph Dickerson, it makes me want to go spend all my savings on starting a vintage Star Wars collection. Please don't ever stop.

Excellent video! On getting close to completing my vintage Kenner collection, I'm starting to look into customs. Quite exciting.

Really inspiring stuff. I love to see the "flex" these fans are bringing to the toy maker movement. Makes me want to work EVEN HARDER to do my stuff. I need to up my game. Great video.

Fantastic review as always Michael. Chris' work is truly beyond comparison 👏

Another great review, Michael! Your support of this maker movement for vintage style Star Wars toys is always fantastic, especially when the quality is this good! This stuff looks amazing, thank you for showcasing it and making sure that collectors know that this stuff is out there!👍

So, soooo good! Loved this video. All amazing additions.

Those items look absolutely gorgeous! Great job guys!👍😁

Love these 2 guys the quality is incredible never been disappointed

I loved watching this. I don't give a toss about Star Wars but Stan Solo's craftsmanship is astonishing and your enthusiasm is contagious. You're a little kid again here and I'm happy for you. Happy Holidays to you, Melinda, BV and your feline overlords.

You make my day every day Michael I only discovered your channel a month ago and it's quickly become my favourite.

These videos are really inspiring. Love their work.

Thanks Micheal. I’ve been slowly digging my childhood toys out of parents basement since this years JoeFest. I just cleaned up and put my millennium falcon back together. Found a few more play sets and figures. My focus has been collecting Action Force, black series, & some classified. I’m wanting to grow my vintage star wars now after watching this. That vehicle is so dope and all those accessories are really cool. Time to start shopping. Thanks brother for all u do for this community and happy holidays. 🎄🍻

WOW! What awesome accessories, thanks R/B.

I can honestly say the accessories in this video got my attention Very cool Very well thought out Not to mention these are items we didn’t know we wanted Great job all around

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing buddy!👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌‼️‼️‼️😉👍

Outstanding video and thanks for the links!

Both these guys are awesome. A diorama builder's dream!

Well articulated. Great products indeed

Excellent video Michael! I hadn't seen all of that deleted scene of Luke with the binoculars before. I just remember a photo in the Star Wars storybook.

Thanks for sharing. Awesome video...👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻😎

Wonderful review! These guys get it!!

Wow, great stuff! Nice review!

This is the coolest thing thank you so much for turning me on for this extra Star Wars toy option I can't wait to get myself some of them

Always love your videos. That speeder is so cool, even as a little kid I used to look at it outside the cantina and wonder what it was and my imagination ran wild. Even today I still squint and look at every little thing in a scene on the OT wondering what things are. Something new movies just can't make me do.

Wow, outstanding products.

Great video its amazing what they can do now I got 2 carded Stan solo figures for christmas and damn I want more of their products.

Michael you are a true Knight of the Old Republic.

Amazing video as always

Fabulous additions, love the vehicle- beautiful design. Now, about that Hydrovane - !!!

Amazing Work

Incroyable, j'ai vu à plusieurs reprises cet étrange véhicule sphérique sur le site et tu viens de me faire découvrir à quel endroit il apparaît dans le film 🙃... Merci

Very cool on what they are doing.

The items you showed us are outstanding especially that mini-rig. Great video my friend!

All gorgeous stuff, but that mini-rig speeder is the icing on the cake. 👍

Brilliant video!!! 👊🏼

I don't think there's a video you've done that has Stan Solo releases in it, that I'm not watching in just awe and amazement. And Trash Compactor's expanding line gives hope to my childhood figures that I can certainly fix them up again!

Great work.

I just purchased the Slave Leia with the collector coin, beautiful work! Thanks Michael for showcasing Stan Solo's work. Every time I purchase a figure from Stan Solo, I know it was money well spent.

I've bought a Slave Leia, iconicon Fett, esb and rotj Fett and now that speeder from SS and many accessories from trash compactor and I don't plan on stopping! These are awesome!

i want the t-shirt he is wearing, it looks really cool.

Stan Solo & Trash Compactor: well done! Wish I had these items back in the eighties (the Luke blaster holder!). Hope to see more vehicles by Stan Solo in the future, the speeder looks awesome! Great choice for a painted logo instead of a decal. The fans are doing the best work, proven again!

These are really well done! Chewies goggles. How cool is that!

3:37 Chewy lookin pretty cool with those shades 😎

Love that Ubrekkian speeder, I have my Cantina Adventure Set and it really would look perfect on it alongside Blue Snaggie

I love these guys and their products so much!!! It’s like the dreams I always had years after the line ended where I’d walk in a store and find a bunch of Star Wars stuff I’d never seen before - it’s like they are both making those dreams come true! Id have utterly love that Ubrikkian Speeder as I’d have used it for the escape pod for R2 and 3PO (I know there was the one with Land of the Jawas but I never had it for some reason). I’d have the Droids flying all sorts of missions and adventures to save the gang! :-) wow I miss being a kid and playing with my figures!!!

Very impressed by Trash Compactor’s work! Great job of enhancing existing collections. Really comes of as a true fan with skills and fits the “Fans doing the best work” to a T. (not to take away from the freeze chamber guy, he’s up there too)

Got the speeder also, it is great and my favorite thing all year!

Michael that was amazing. Yes they DO look like Kenner made then in 1978. Glad this stuff exists

The fans come through once again when it comes to making toys! Crazy props to Stan Solo and Trash Compactor!

I gotta say...those are so cool!

Enjoy your videos on custom vintage Kenner style pieces. I've got the Stan Solo Landspeeder 9000 on it's way, & his Bantha, Oola, Garindan & Slave Leia already displayed in my collection. I can't sing Chris Smith's praises highly enough. His items are pure quality! 👌

I got garindan this week and it's really impressive. It looks and feels like a Kenner figure. Out of all the customs I've seen it fits in the best.

Could not agree more with what he is putting out. I have bought pieces from both Stan solo and trash compactor.

I really love the stan solo stuff and wish he had a subscription where he would send the new figures and a regular time frame. Great stuff.

Looks good👍

I am definitely going to check out Trash Compactor. 💪😎

I am very excited about the Ubrikkian landspeeder. I wish they would've made it much sooner. Thanks for putting my little buddy Snaggletooth in there. :) These are all great additions to the vintage line. I'm in total agreement on not wanting to stretch out Han's blaster hand. I would love to get a few of these for some other figures as well. Thanks for another great review. :)

I've purchased Stan Solo and Pro Custom figures and accessories and they are both every bit of the high quality that you'd expect from vintage Kenner. I'm going to have to check out Trash Compactor next. It's such a great time to be a vintage collector.

Very impressive.

Trash compactor and Stan Solo are great. I remember seeing trash compactor in the early days of his productions. Its great to see how far Mark has evolved Trash Compactor. When I first got into purchasing custom figures I found a site that sold them, I won't even waste my time saying the name but I never purchased I just observed for a while. Then I found Stan Solo and without hesitation I purchased my first 4 custom figures. I have continued to purchase from Trash compactor and Stan Solo. Not as much as I would of liked to over the last couple of years due to finance's but I regularly check in with their great additions to the Vintage Kenner Line. Great work guys , best in the business for me .

May I add the service from both companies has always been spot on 👌🏼

I'm impressed with Trash Compactor. They do a great job with their new ideas that Kenner didn't do in the original line. Just like Stan Solo, they're fans that are slowly adding to the original vintage line and keeping it old-school cool!

I always called him "wee werr wap wap wowww"

I have the entire 77-85 vintage collection and never had plans to buy custom figures, but when I saw what Stan Solo was doing I changed my mind! I got the Garindan, Slave Leia, Oola, and (as a droid builder) I of course had to get a bunch of the Astromechs. I know exactly what you mean, they look like what Kenner would have made back in the day and fit in perfectly!

I love the nods to 2001 with the Kubrick ‘Ubrikkian 9000’ named after the HAL9000 computer and the Z001 reference. They hid another version of the 2001 escape pod in Watto’s junkyard in the Phantom Menace. This ship is another remarkable item from Stan Solo- I grabbed a Yakface figure from him before and it’s truly amazing.

I always love to see what the fans are cooking up. Glad to see we're getting more farmboy Luke accessories! Happy 5th anniversary to The Last Jedi by the way, I adore that movie. Great time to be a Star Wars fan all around!

If you're a fan of farmboy Luke, you should check out the "Star Wars" radio dramas". They are available on KZread and add tons of scenes with Luke racing in beggar's canyon. Biggs is fleshed out more, as well as Cammie, Fixer and the Tosche Station! You also get scenes on Alderan, with Leia joining the resistence and the race to get the Death Star plans moving. It's an amazing expansion on the movies and if you close your eyes, you can see these extra scenes as a t.v. show, or movie! They borrow from deleted scenes, as well as stuff added in for the novels, that coincided with each movie. O.T. only, I believe, but there might be unofficial stuff out there too! Awesome stuff! Check it out! Cheers from Canada

I just bought a C3PO.... Looks Awesome.... Already have my Iconicon Bobba.

I loved that the Imperial Troop Transporter was brought to life in The Mandalorian.

Completely blown away about the passion put into a blink and you miss it vehicle. Always loved how out of place that speeder was, like it was a call back to the ufo craze of the 50’s.

I never knew that thing was a vehicle, 😲

I'd love Chris to come out with a Kenner-style TIE Bomber.

Stan Solo is the Last Hope of the Star Wars vintage collector community.

That T-shirt needs a review, awesome!

I was today years old when I found out that's a speeder and not a really fat droid!

Awesome

Amazing stuff. Trash Compactor's Esty page is mind blowing! Oh, I guess I should mention if someone did not already, that the Ubrukkian (sp?) land speeder was an homage to Kubrik's 2001. Something like that was in 2001 and became a recurring back and forth reference between Kubrik and Lucas for awhile. I don't rember the full stoty but I think some recycled props were involved.

5:10 out of all the background characters Kenner made I’m surprised the long snout wasn’t in the original Kenner line

Hi Michael, first time viewer of your wonderful channell. I was a senior in high school back in 1977 when Star Wars first premiered, and I saw the Ubrikkian 9000/Z001 Landspeeder outside the Cantina on Tatooine. I always wished a toy or model would have been made of this vehicle. I build Sci Fi models and surf KZread channels on the subject. I few days ago I caught your thumbnail of this video which really caught my attention. And at time stop 6:42 you blew me away with the segment that Stan Solo was offering the Ubriggian vehicle. I went to the website using your link and ordered one from the USA Etsy website right away. It is an amazing toy and I was delighted to learn it is injection molded plastic with professionally printed graphics, and not a 3D printed item. Fantastic professional quality! It's a Birthday present that my wife does not know yet she goto for this year! Your entire video was fantastic. I surfed both the Stan Solo and Trash Compactor websites - amazing stuff! Please have a wonderful Chirstmas (or other appropriate Holiday) and an even better New Year's Day 2023!

Even though I don't collect action figures anymore, I'm really happy with the immaculate expansion these fans have made to the old Kenner line.

I'd love to see them go all in on a Bespin playset. They could use the micro collection as a source of inspiration, just scale it up like Kenner should have all those years ago. Sadly it was a neglected world by Kenner. I'm certain these interconnected, modular sets would sell very well based on the collectors' desire to have these and the incredible attention to detail that these guys have!
