1st Wave Star Wars Power of the Force 1995 Action Figures 

I still have a complete set of those carded. Don’t know why I kept them but I did and I’m glad I did because they’re kind of cool.

Great review and collection. Loved these as a kid. First watched A New Hope around 1993 and wasn’t allowed to watch the other two because they were too dark until fall 1995. I remember watching Empire with my mom and my dad and it was my mom (who introduced the sequel embargo) who was so hooked that she said, let’s watch the next one right away. Thus a Star Wars fan was truly born. I spend the next year or so watching the movies over and over again. I still have the old pan and scan tapes. Of course, since then the prequels came out and accompanied me in my adolescence and then the sequels in my adult life. I still really like Star Wars, despite some grievances about the sequels trilogy. I think more young people should watch them as they genuinely spark the imagination while giving moral direction. Those classic Kenner toys helped my imagination a lot. 😅

That C3PO is minty!! Wish we could get a new TVC figure like it

Great collection! I remember buying this on Lojas Americanas here in Brazil in 1996 with my deceased brother, we played with these figures a LOT!

I remember back in 1995 when they came out they were affordable we could find them everywhere in stores. I bought lots of doubles one to take out from the package and snother to leave in package. C3po is really nice compared to later versions, R2 dome was cool and the jawas especially when you put a light over their heads. My only regret since i have all the potf95 serie is that I didn’t bought the ships since I had the originals ships hopefully one day I will find them. Very cool video thanks for sharing

Great video. This line was my jam back then including the Shadows of the Empire series too. Have to admit, seeing Obi Wan without his cloak and doing the Tatooine limbo cracked me up pretty good, much like it did when I first got the figure back in 95. 😀😄

These figures are highly underrated. I had a decent Power Of The Force collection in the 90’s until I began collecting WWF figures. I lost a lot of my Star Wars figures but I bought most of them again several years ago. I currently have about 65 of these new in their packaging, unfortunately Power Of The Force figs have very minimal value which isn’t good for people looking to get rich off of them but it makes these easily collectible for those that still appreciate these. I bought most of them for around $3 and $4 at flea markets, nostalgic toy stores and bought some lots for dirt cheap on eBay. I was always cool with the buff figures however Kenner toned the figures down after the first couple series. Batman figures by Kenner, Power Rangers, etc. figures were also pretty buff. That’s how 90’s toys were which is why I never understood the criticism these figures receive. But they were still highly detailed and they still captured the likeness and personalities of their characters a lot better than the original Kenner Star Wars figures.

In 1992 Playmates brought Star Trek toys back to toy stores, in 1993 Ban Dai immediately introduced Power Rangers toys, and then in 1995 Kenner/Hasbro brings Star Wars toys back (at last) to toy stores. When that happened I was like “well it’s about time we saw Star Wars toys again”. I mean in the 90s were seeing Star Trek toys coming back but where were Star Wars toys when we needed them at the time?

After seeing new hope in 97 when they got re-released straight to toys r us and seeing those tall aisles with these figures and the green cards of characters i didnt know yet and being a 10yr old opening them up and playing with them now the past few years collecting them all over again and getting them signed by the actors must have about 30 now and prequels aswell

It always bothered me that the packaging changed so frequently. I really like the large bio on the back. The color lightsaber in the background didn't bother me that much. Then they went to hologram stickers, then slides, then sound chips. There wasn't consistency.

great video. this line needs more love so really appreciate you doing this video. Everyone needs to watch this. When these came out, it got a lot of us back into collecting Star Wars. It was such a big deal. The whole world was talking about these. Very important line of figures. Thanx for this video. it’s awesome.

I absolutely love these figures! I have an almost complete set in their original packaging and that includes all of the multi packs. I enjoyed this upload. You have a new subscriber, Sir.

I’m gonna start collecting these

I LOVE the Rambo series. LOL

Don’t mind me asking but how come you did not get the Luke Skywalker one shown here?

The carded Darth Vader is short sabre long tray?

Hi sir, just want to get your honest opinion. Would you consider the 1995 power of the force line as classic kenner star wars

Witch is the order on them? I mean i display it with the order numbers of top rigth side of the card. But i want to now what is the real order of the wave
