Star Wars Vintage Kenner Vinyl Carry Cases versions

 

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

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.

Every now and then you score an amazing find a few years I was fortunate enough to get about 45 original figures with all the original cad backs and bubbles. The original owner had them form childhood and decided to part with his collection.

DSC07082Here is an original VC Vinyl Cape jawa. It has the original card back, note they card back bubble design, which is flat, compared to the regular jawa which has a different bubble design.
