Yesterday I gave my 4 year old Nephews a bag of Kenner SW figs that were mine & their Dad's 40 years ago. It was magical to see them playing with them on the carpet, asking their names, and setting them up... Timeless.

@GQJedi Год назад

Wow! That's super cool. "Pass on what you have learned....."

@darrenstrange2244 Год назад

The ROTJ figures are indeed amazing, the Jabba's playset was probably my favourite, setting that up with all his goons, with the Rancor - just superb. Boushh is probably my favourite figure of the whole line, her scene in the movie just so cool and I love re-enacting that! The red Emperors Guard and the Emperor himself - also great figures to set up and re-enact the scenes. Biker Scouts and Leia Poncho, speeder bikes... so awesome! Just perfect. ESB is my favourite movie, and my favourite ephemera to collect, just because I have the fondest memories of it, but I totally agree I think Jedi had the best figures overall. Great collection you have there!

@GQJedi Год назад

Preach, Darren!! I agree :)

@SirGnomes Год назад

In New Zealand there is a toy fair twice a year and one of them is coming up in 13 days! Last year I got an original Chewbacca and I saw someone selling 1980s Indiana Jones and Star Wars comics for 10 bucks each

@GQJedi Год назад

Have fun at that toy fair. Sounds like a blast, mate!

@alexianemp Год назад

Kenner was on a learning curve for sure. I'm still collecting the ROTJ line, and the day before yesterday, I finally got the TIE Interceptor. I was so suprised to see the improvment in the wing design (solid piece instead of those plugs with the breakable tabs) that I had to quickly find the date stamp and make sure it wasn't a 1990s' one!

@GQJedi Год назад

The Interceptor is amazing looking !!

@thepadawancollectorofficial Год назад

I have to agree with you on this. I was 6 when Jedi came out so I connected with Jedi toys the most.

@GQJedi Год назад

I totally get it. It’s all relative to when you grew up with Star Wars in your life.

@TheBadger74 Год назад

The first ROTJ toy I got was Squid Head- before the movie was released. I was blown away by the detail, soft goods, belt and even how well he held his gun! I remember thinking "wow, I can't wait to see what pivotal role Squid Head plays in the story" 😂 Seriously though, I do think the ROTJ figures were the peak in terms of design and sculpt. It's a tie for my affection between them and the ESB line. I did love those Hoth battles (a friend even had an AT-AT!) and LOVED Boba and the bounty hunters, Bespin Han and "Safari suit" Luke!

@GQJedi Год назад

Soft goods are amazing! Really put these figures ahead of the pack.

@coze1977 Год назад

Another great video from the GQ..Great collection my friend and some rare beasts in tere like the kenner awing and potf scout nice fetts to. My favourite is empire for the same reason as you they were the first sw toys I got around 81/82. I still have a few photos my mam took of me playing with my at at age 9 . Ironically I prefer the endor rotj at at box to the empire box but I just loved empire I think it was the battle scenes seeing the at at for the first time then seeing it under the xmas tree and the snowspeeder in empire is my favourite ship so I never looked back . But rotj is class as is a new hope . Tere all great and we will never see the likes of it again . Kenner was a unbelievable toy company nothing can touch it to this day . Cheers

@GQJedi Год назад

I agree. Kenner was an unbelievable toy line! I've got nothing but love for Kenner.

@logandalgleish3655 Год назад

Another great vid GQ, thank you. I was 8 when Jedi came out in the theaters and so was at my prime for Star Wars toys. I remember getting the Scout Walker for Christmas (85) and was over the moon. As a kid, that was the largest vehicle I was lucky enough to get. Still cherish it to this day. But the toy line from Jedi would have to be my (over all) favorite too. Some great sculpts (Boushh being one of them in my opinion!).

@GQJedi Год назад

Boushh is a favorite of mine as well. The removable helmet is a great feature on this figure and the other figures in the line. The "soft goods" on some of them like Jedi Luke really seal the deal for me!

@tausti Год назад

I agree GQ. The ROTJ line gets a bad rap for being 'figures with sticks'...but look what we got...Jabba Playset, Speeder Bike, Imperial Shuttle, Rancor, A-wing, B-wing and Y-wing, Skiff, TIE Interceptor and Ewok Village to name a few...it was a great line!

@GQJedi Год назад

Yes! There's a tremendous amount of love from the ROTJ line.

@Texastoytuber Год назад

I think the entirety of the original Kenner SW toy line is great. By the time they got to ROTJ the toys made to represent the characters and ships we saw on screen had become extremely detailed and in many cases quite screen accurate. But for me, I have to say that I really just love the New Hope/Star Wars figures and ships. The likeness to their on screen counterparts is vague at best on many. But I just love the simplicity that the line started out with. And some of the figures originally released in the first 12 NEVER got any kind of update later on. Chewie, Stormtrooper, Vader, Obiwan. They never had alternate versions and were all main characters. I just love how those still blended with every incarnation of the various characters after that.

@GQJedi Год назад

I feel that, Brent! You brought up some good points there. The OG line iterations don't look much like their onscreen counterparts yet...they still are amazing! Gotta love the og Kenner line.

@justinclark951 Год назад

I don't think I could pick, as I have major nostalgia for all of the lines. My older brother was in kindergarten when Star Wars came out, and I was three years old. My dad brought my brother home some Star Wars figures and I got Weebles. But, both me and my brother sat and played with the Star Wars figures for hours. The next week, we both hot a figure and kept that pattern up for quite some time, occasionally getting other 3.75" figures from other lines, such as Battlestar Galactica, Buck Roger's, The Dukes of Hazzard and The Lone Ranger. But all we really wanted were Star Wars figures. Then The Empire Strikes Back figures hit and it was like we were in heaven at the Toys R Us. My first picks were The Snowtrooper and Lobot. My brother got Lando and IG-88, and by this time, my little brother was getting them as well. He got Han Solo Hoth outfit and Bespin Security Guard. By the time the Return of the Jedi line hit retail, my parents had separated and we moved to a small town in Oklahoma with our mom. The toy isle wasn't quite the same in the small town and many figures were extremely hard to find. One day in the summer of 1984, my mom came into some money and we went into the big city (Tulsa). We went to Target and she let me pick out 15 figures. They had many that I had never seen, Han in Trench Coat, Luke Jedi, Boushh Leia, Lando Skiff Guard, Leia in Poncho, as well as several older figures that were hard to find in my small home town, such as Jawa and Walrusman. On top of picking the 15, my mom picked up the Rebo band and said, "do you want this?" And added it to my pile. I still consider that to be one of the happiest days of my life. Power of the force came out and there were several that I never saw in the store Those were Luke Stormtrooper, Han Carbonite, EV-9D9, and R2-D2 with pop-up Lightsaber (I didn't even know Yak Face existed at that time). By 1987, I had moved back to Washington to live with my dad. I was 12 and there was a large mall with a Kay-Bee toys. They had tons of Power of the Force figures for a dollar each. Pretty much all of them except the ones listed above. By late 1988, several characters were sold out but what they had left were 50 cents, buy one get one free and they had bins full of A-Wing Pilots, B-Wing Pilots Ewoks, Barada, just about all of Jabba's goons. I bought tons and should have bought tons more. They probably had 200 A-Wing Pilots for 25 cents each. I never stopped buying Star Wars figures. When the weren't available at retail, I was buying from conventions, garage sales, comic shops, vintage toy stores, antique stores and from friends who "outgrew" them. By the early 90's, I was collecting Lily Ledy, Poch/PBP, and Takara, and any other foreign figures I could find. I love them all!

@GQJedi Год назад

Great family stories. Very cool, bro!

@samanthaadams619 Год назад

For me, although I loved Star Wars as a child - I still remember Saturday morning cartoons in the late 1970s and the first Star Wars toy commercials, and very much appreciate it's charm - it was Empire that really made me sit up and take notice back in the day. That being said, all the lines brought some nice things to the table, and each has their own charm.

@GQJedi Год назад

ESB is gold thru and thru. It was hard to chose but Jedi is what I grew up with. But you are correct. There is charm in all of them.

@BanthaPooDoo64 Год назад

Kenner SW toy line I think is the most epic movie related line since Mego from 70’s , SW was the last line I kept collecting even though I was in my early 20’s I was just still to damn hooked where my younger brother had moved on. Universal Monsters was my first passion and still is ,but I haven’t been collecting anything in long while in that because the newer Universal Monsters it’s not the same like 60’s70’s and 80’s. But my vintage SW collection when it’s finished I’m done collecting except for my 76 King Kong I’m always on the look out for another vintage item there.

@GQJedi Год назад

Kenner Star Wars is the only thing I collect but I see the appeal of collecting other vintage lines. Vintage has charm whereas modern does not.

@BiggsTVC Год назад

Jedi is a fantastic and very toyetic film. My personal favorites are the “next 8” that came after the first 12 figures. Four cantina aliens, R5, Death Star Droid, Power Droid and Luke x-wing. These figures we’re awesome in and of themselves and also declared “more to come.” The line would not stop w the first 12. My pals and I were very excited by the debut of these toys!

@GQJedi Год назад

Great explanation. I wasn't around when the First 12 came out but I imagine I would have been over the moon to learn about the following figurers coming out.

@tperson8347 Год назад

I'm a ROTJ guy myself. There's just so much going for it. When it comes to my own collection, I have way more ROTJ stuff. It wasn't a conscious decision, it just happened that way. :) For me, it goes SW and ROTJ. NOTHING wrong with ESB at all, it's the strongest movie of the three, but 'Jedi' is more of a mixed bag. I like that it's a bit more of a classic "pirate" adventure to start with, then you go right back into the Rebels vs. Empire with a cowboys and Indians/Robin Hood tone. When I was a kid first starting watching SW (SW SE 97), I honestly didn't think we as the audience would EVER get to see Luke become a Jedi Knight, thinking it was too big of a goal with such a short amount of time. Figure wise, ROTJ has more of my favorites than the other figure lines. Jedi Luke, Endor Leia, skiff Lando, Gen. Lando, R2 w/ saber, Lumat, Warok, Wicket, AT-ST driver, Nien Nunb, Squidhead, and the man himself, Jabba. :) (I know some of those are POTF) Thanks for the video

@GQJedi Год назад

ROTJ has a lot of great action figures! No doubt. Great points you've made.

@jamesswann9852 Год назад

I remember being blown away by the Gamorrean Guard, and thinking we've finally got a character that can go a few rounds with Chewbacca (which of course he did, over and over again, at playtime!)

@GQJedi Год назад

Nothing beats playtime as a kid. Nothing!

@philly799 Год назад

ROTJ was the first movie I ever saw in the theater. The ROTJ toy line is massively nostalgic for me. I also think the figure sculpts are top notch. So many great figures. Cheers!

@GQJedi Год назад

Awesome stuff, man! I couldn't agree more.

@briandain8432 Год назад

ESB was my first in theater movie, and I got to see Rogue One in the same Theater with my Dad and Brother. Removing Sebastian Shaw from the 3 Spirits Scene is infuriating. I need a Fan Edit Blu-ray bad.

RotJ will always have a special place in my heart due to the film being released at the right time when I was young. The toy line especially was fun with so many great offerings too. Jabba's Palace was always a bright spot for ne personally. All the goons & creatures, on top of the great story too. #ROTJ40TH.

@GQJedi Год назад

Memories drive the passion. Absolutely.

@mikecrowe9888 Год назад

Empire Strikes Back was my favourite movie when i was a kid. My Bespin Luke was a much loved figure. My all time favourite figure would be a toss up between Boba Fett and the Scout Trooper though

@GQJedi Год назад

Scout Trooper is one of my top 5 figures!

@destructarr Год назад

Hey, I love it too. I like all the different alien creatures.

@GQJedi Год назад

My only wish is that Kenner had made more cantina aliens. Luckily I've been getting a slew of custom figures to fill that need. I've featured them in unboxing videos on my channel.

@dwaynecuster Год назад

Just need to throw a B-wing in there GQ! 😊

@GQJedi Год назад

I actually have my B-Wing stored in another room. Don't have display space for it with the rest of the ROTJ toys. I just didn't show that to you guys in this video. Nor did I show the grey version of Jabba's Dungeon. I also have that stored elsewhere!

@Bather12 Год назад

To be fair, ' Jedi was when I was most able to look forward to and enjoy a Star Wars movie in the cinema. So yeah, Jedi is my favourite line of the trilogy, too. I was 10 when it came out.

@GQJedi Год назад

I hear you, man! It's all about what you grew up with.

@brandonbeekman Год назад

Loved this video man! Enjoyed the Jedi walk through. It's an incredible collection, the ROTJ stuff. Being born in 1973 (yeah...big 50 next month), I lived these toys from 77 SW through 85 POTF. I'd probably have to say TESB line impacted me the most, but damn, how can you really choose. SW Kenner rules all!

@GQJedi Год назад

Thanks for tuning in, bro! I couldn't agree more. These toys are all very special. Truly hard to choose. Are you turning 50 or 05 years old? :) We're all just a bunch of kids playing with our toys!

@billpaulk1058 Год назад

I think I missed out on the ROTJ line. It is definitely a cool one! I was 13 by then and had stopped collecting. ESB is my favorite movie and I got most of my collection between ‘78 - ‘82 and as you mentioned I geared towards those toy lines. I really wished I had the Ewok Village - it is just so cool!

@GQJedi Год назад

You always go with what you know. In life and with these toys. No doubt!

@dwaynec7542 Год назад

I’m partial to the original Star Wars waves; the Death Star and Millennium Falcon alone are unsurpassed, but everything from the collectors cases to ships to playsets is great. That said, all three movies had outstanding lines.

@GQJedi Год назад

There are lots of toys to love in the Kenner line. Everyone definitely has ones that mean more to them than others.

@deathmetalrob5563 Год назад

Awesome collection and awesome video video period I always like looking at your collection. Period I remember I was 6 Star Wars came out, and every one of my friends had Star Wars. Action figures but me. Shall I remember that line probably? The best period when I was 14 is when return to. The jedi came out and I wasn't really playing with toys so much.

@GQJedi Год назад

Thanks, Rob!

@TimHayes Год назад

I loved the Return Of The Jedi line the most! Excellent collection! It looks like you got a few custom skiff guards added to the collection since you last showed your Jedi collection in a previous video? :)

Correct! I’m always adding new figures whenever possible.

@camcordernonsense5264 Год назад

The ROTJ collection dominates the Kenner line, no doubt. I have multiple dioramas to display my vintage Kenner collection and inevitably, the majority of my display is made up of ROTJ themed scenes.....Jabba's throne room, Ewok Village, Rancor pit and droid dungeon, Skiff with Sail Skiff, Sand Skimmer and AST-5.

@GQJedi Год назад

Love to hear that! So many cool options to choose from when making dioramas.

Jabba and the Speeder Bike & Biker Scout were my #1 & #2. C-3PO w/ removable limbs was my #3, but, I agree, ROTJ takes 2/3 for my top 3, all time.
