Flashback to 2004 for me: 7 year old me in Walmart staring at that Luke Skywalker. My mom let me go home with that Luke as well as the fullscreen gold box version of the original trilogy on DVD. Just your intro made me get chills of nostalgia running down my entire body.

Let’s go a video I can watch during lunch break !!!!!!

I totally agree with you about the C 3PO figures, why is is so hard to make a decent Droid, like you said the old 1978 one is so good considering his age, cheers!

That Han Solo cardback is so iconic just brilliant!! When will get a Vac metal C3PO in TVC ? Come on Hasbro!!😎👍

Great video Tim... I must say - my favourites out of the “Saga Vintage Collection” has got to be Snowtrooper, IG-88, Scout Trooper and the Tuskin Raider.

Awsom video mate, great review of the votc range.

Good stuff. I’m starting to see more and more of these OTC figures showing up at my local toy shop, so next time in I’m gonna look them over more carefully and consider picking up a few of the better ones. I particularly like the corrected card back versions near the top of your list. Good change of pace video!

Thanks Bossk, great video. I needed to add a Han Solo to my Mos Eisley Cantina display and you really helped me with the choice!

After seeing this list I wonder if anyone at Hasbro actually watches Star Wars. So many oversights especially on those cardback images and logos

I still don't understand how there are still people out there who haven't seen the Star Wars films. And they take pride in it, they don't know what they're missing. I saw the original back in 1977 when I was 5 and have been a devoted fan ever since.

Amazed that you placed Chewie so low. I still think he holds up quite well, especially compared to some of the others in this line. The Han Solo is still one of my favoruite figures though, deserved Number 1

@BossksBounty

All to do with the card back - when there is an alternate out there from the vintage line it should have been used. I understand why they used the one they did but it should have been a SW card.

I love this line. These figures got me interested in collecting modern star wars again so I know I am biased, but I love all of these.

Great video and I agree with you on the order you put them in.

Fantastic ranking, wholly agree! I do love that Yoda and might’ve ranked it slightly higher but it’s hard to argue with your list order, for sure. Spot on with the needed updates! Really hope that happens with many of these classics.

Great video! I would say the best of these VOTC waves is Han Solo. I think the worst was probably C-3PO. Here's how I would have ranked them all: Han Solo Darth Vader Chewbacca Boba Fett Lando Calrissian Stormtrooper Princess Leia Yoda Luke Skywalker R2-D2 Obi-Wan Kenobi C-3PO

I bought Yoda and Obi Wan when they were new but only recently managed to acquire the rest. My ordering would be slightly different but overall I agree with your assessments of the figures and their packaging. I'd bet all 3.75" SW collectors would agree that an updated Bespin Lando is WAY overdue. Can we expect a similar ranking for the Vintage Saga Collection soon?

I absolutely love this line of figures. Sadly we only have two of the figures, Yoda & Stormtrooper in our collection. I've been slowly picking these up when I find them for a good price. Was this C-3PO the last "golden" (vac plated) C-3PO we got on a vintage card? I could be wrong but I am thinking our Yoda looks a little different, I am going to go unpack this figure take a closer look at it. Great video Tim!

@BossksBounty

I think c-3PO was the last vac metal yeah

Nifty video! Thank you! I wasn't too bothered about the cards, but the inconsistent articulation irritated me. Most of them had amazing articulation, but then you had figures that were, as you say, barely better than the VINTAGE Vintage figures. The C-3PO that came with the Ewok throne (and was later used as the basis for the Salacious Crumb 2-Pack) is still the best 3PO, for my money. The VOTC Stormtrooper is still one of my favourites for sculpting, if not poseability. And those swivel-cut elbows . . . YEESH!

I have that 40 year old 3PO on my mantelpiece and yeah I really want them to make a great 3PO and R2. Just got the Droids 3PO, more of a collectors piece than anything, it has grown on me a bit

Great video as always Tim, why do you think Hasbro have the images of the characters and the film it comes from mixed up? Is this just laziness on their part?

@BossksBounty

3 жыл бұрын

I guess they wanted to mix it up a bit with the 3 films and wanted the main characters. Kenner did release all of them on those cards back in the 80s but that didnt mean Hasbro had to follow suit

Great video. I would definitely like to see a re-release of Han with a new head sculpt and photo real. I need to find a really good 3-PO because the TVC is ok but my only other is the POTF version.

I may have switched Obi Wan and Leia. Love the cloth cape and the head sculpt on Obi Wan is really good.

The Star Wars Leia looks great. Hope they can give her, farm boy Luke, Obi-Wan, and Han the face print

Loved this line of figures and the ugh ones aswell, wish I never sold them now lol!

Good video & very interesting and yes I agree anybody and I was around then and I had him in my collection ( luke Skywalker farmboy) and as for the ranking I agree with the 2nd place & first place the remaining could be changed and it wouldn't matter!! Just as long as the top two are exactly that top two also I had the original han solo , in fact with the exception of that r2 I had all.of your top 12

I agree that the picture should match the movie that it relates to especially now. They did release all of those variations of cardback with movie correlation in the original run through the 80's. I was happy to get a Chewie moc with "a new hope" picture on ROTJ release at a more reasonable cost than a star wars card. My anecdote might explain but not excuse the decision makers?

These figures were put out in different waves, each attached to one of the OT movies. That's why you have the photo/movie logo discrepancies.

Great video Tim; its hard to choose between the Luke and Han as they’re both classic scenes from the movie but i think you got it just right. No Luke x-wing pilot? It’s another great looking card back with a removable helmet and facially looks an improvement over the farmboy version.

I haven't watched the whole video as i write this comment, but i know which figure is going to be best: Han Solo Star Wars! Would love to see the same sculpt rereleased in the VC with just updated face-print tech! Also, I wish they hadn't changed the font for ROTJ on this line!

I agree with your sentiment that it’s kinda ridiculous they haven’t made an episode 4 Han Leia and Luke with today’s technology. While it’s my go to figure regardless, I’m crossing my fingers that stop reissuing the removable helmet Boba Fett from Empire and re release the Boba you have on your list and like you said, PUT HIM ON THE ALTERNATE CARD!!! It’s probably the first image of Boba Fett that anyone thinks of

I need that Leia cinnamon buns

love your videos, bossk! thanks so much, and keep up the great work! but i have a small disagreement with your ranking here. obi-wan more than deserves the title of "worst." terrible figure. he's got awkwardly-sculpted swivel arms that only allow him to do the self-sacrifice pose, and no knee articulation. i agree the cardback is great, but 6 is way too high for that figure.

Great video, but I'm amazed that Luke is so high. The figure is pretty lousy, awful soft goods and a really wonky face sculpt. Never bothered to pick this up because of those issues. Han, on the other hand, still holds up as a great overall figure. not the best head, but the rest of the sculpt and articulation is perfect.

Protection shield back Hasbro because they can’t decent ship anymore! I pay that $0,25.

Just my opinion, but I believe that an updated bespin Lando should have been the figure included in the freezing chamber. Accompanied by an ugnaught!

You know MY thoughts on the movie badge choices! VC06 & VC04 are top exhibits... and Chewie.

As for Artoo... that's another Inn fact probably the worst case of image discrepancy! DEFO needs Empire on it 👌💙 Enjoyable vid BB!

Yeah the R2 should have been lower in my list as that is probably the worst offence but I always loved the actual image. It’s funny because trying to find an vintage ESB one is actually really difficult, he and removable limbs 3PO were toward the end of the line so are more common on ROTJ cards.

Huh. Not disagreeing with your ordering at all, bu you called this "Worst to First". I think I was expecting more about how bad a figure started out at in the late 70's vs how they look now. Very little talk about how HUGE an upgrade the Chewbacca, Luke, & Han figures are from their miserable beginnings. Han was my most favorite of all back in the day, and EVEN THEN, I thought his figure looked pretty crappy (and I had the "small head" Han. The "big head" Han was an abomination, even when I was seven.) I would have enjoyed more talk about how far these figures have come from '79.

Comment

And if you notice some have the 'safety text' like Luke, Leia and Ben under the front Kenner logo. This is reminiscent of the original '78 releases. Nowadays 16 yrs later some have yellowed or 'tanned' bubbles and figures. Lando tends to get a discolored shirt over time. I actually believe these Are part of the VC line including the later waves and mail-in George Lucas Stormtrooper. If you add these then we are at VC200 + in no time at all !! !
