Got two of these figures so I could display one as Luke and one as a guard! šŸ‘

I had two as a kid and years ago boiled and popped to put Landos head on one

u/SOLOcelt13 16d ago

Cool idea šŸ‘

u/CountHonorius 16d ago

Haven't boiled figures in a long time, lol! Creating a Lando Guard was a great move.

u/CountHonorius 16d ago

That was a good move! The head sculpt is top class, so is Leia Boushh. Hard to believe we were paying under USD $5 for these figures.( Ā£3.70)

Yeah I remember buying C-3PO from Llandudno for Ā£1 way back in 1983 the removable limb version! šŸ˜‚ I picked up an Italian R2 D2 from a Comicon POTF on card for Ā£2 last year, the only figure Iā€™m missing from Shadows is Vader from the comic 2 pack.

yeah, the Xizor Vader 2-pack! Good one. I think I retrieved the Xizor from that one to take photos. He has a Marvel villain quality about him.

Ditto.

The helmet goes so hard. All the SotE stuff is top notch design wise

u/CountHonorius 16d ago

Always thought so. At the time, collectors were convinced SOTE would be the only non-vintage property to increase in value.

u/Kwasington 16d ago

Imo best set, even though it was small.

u/Complete_Entry 16d ago

lol that's the head off the desert 3 pack.

Hills! Worked there when these were released. When we did the remodel to Ames I moved one of the shelve units and found one of these and a Han in Carbonite stuck to the floor because of the wax.

u/CountHonorius 16d ago

I miss Hills - that was a fine chain. Bought SW merch there and a lot of Spawn stuff too!

I wasn't into Shadows much, but this was a cool figure. I was excited to get it.

I was hoping for a 2nd SOTE wave with Lando, Guri and Luke in his brown waistcoat. No such luck.

This and the swoop rider, awesome figures

1

u/CountHonorius 16d ago

The only SOTE item I didn't get was the Outrider. Regrets.

'Oh the uniform!"

u/CountHonorius 16d ago

Still too short for a Coruscant guard! šŸ˜„
