by From My collectionNews and other Star Wars collecting stuffVintage Kenner Pix of figures or variations

 

If your a vintage Collector of Kenner Star Wars figures you likely at some point to have been fortunate enough to find an original collection of figures within a vinyl carry case. Its always fun to see what is under the trays.  Once I found a bunch of the GM stickers, and several sabers hidden in the vinyl fold.Screen Shot 2015-08-17 at 9.12.58 AM

There are several versions of the Vinyl cases, and until recently not a real desirable collectors item, recently they have been increasing in value, but can still be found in the $20 to $30 US range.   Some are more rarer than others, which is pointed out below.  So here are the cases.”  Images are from my first revision  to my Vintage  Star Wars Action figure guide check it out !   The first revision will  will focus on  and include in some accessories, and playsets.  To get the guide got to SHOP on the Menu.  and instructions to download.

Kenner Millennium Falcon with blue training ball

by From My collection

Debate could be had about the origins or authenticity of the Blue training ball. My Theory is it is original  and perhaps a very early version. I will point out t the Falcon which I got it with also had the arm riveted in. I have seen several over the years with this rivet. Was it a dad fix, an early version. ?That I am not sure.

Here is the Blue ball, black ball and a reproduction ball- or bead.

The blue and the black appear to be the same mold

The middle pix also shows the mold mark of the ship.

A collection of MPC model Kits that were available in the Early Star Wars Era 1978- 1979. Some kits, the droids and the space ships were re releases in similar boxes through the Star Wars era and reissued again in the late 1980’s  early 1990’s .  The Vans , particularly Darth Vader  are very hard to find.

The Millennium Falcon Kit was a great model, over 24″ long, it was large. !  I recall customizing mine adding  more lights landing and rear lights.-  and fluorescent paint, and a more modified interior- wish i still had that one  !
