With little dudes like Jawas, that number went waaay up.
The 'prisoner area' held 12 figures (at least) by itself. Still not quite sure which scene in the movie it was in, though.
Instead of a bulky audio player disguised as toy, it became a cargo/ paddy wagon/ APC with a truly cavernous capacity. The Star Wars Imperial Cruiser was even better the second time around. Yoda had a cloak, a pet snake, a belt, a cane (and a partridge in a pear tree which was available only in the Sears Exclusive version of Yoda's Dagobah playset). just in case a berserk killer robot with a rifle wasn't scary enough.
Bossk, Rebel and Imperial Hoth troopers each had different rifles, so did IG-88 who carried a rifle and a pistol. Maybe R2 with Sensorcope was a Sears exclusive 'through the Christmas season', after that he was fair game for everyone.Įmpire Strikes Back also saw the introduction of action figues with much more variety in blasters/ accessories. That pleased click-clacking you might be hearing is R5-D4 proudly showing off there's nothing wrong with -his- dome rotation, bad motivator or not. R2 with Sensorscope was the coolest version of all the original astromech series droid figures, though he did suffer from the stowed Sensorscope interfering with his dome rotation.
The photographer took a posing cue from the 'Raise You Hand (if You're Sure)!' deodorant commercials popular at the time. This catalog page is pure joy for so many reasons.
