If you are a collector or new to collecting Star Wars you need to check your Han Solo figures. The Vintage Kenner Han Solo was first released as a small head figure. And you may have one twice as valuable if you have white molded legs.  Pegged the “pinhead” figure. He can be found with several COO versions. The White molded legs was an early production change to the figure. Legs painted black, molded in white. Take look in his peg holes on the bottom of the feetswfigvars116cover.  He can be found on  two different  COO versions.

From my guide ” Vintage Kenner  Star Wars  Action Figure Variations of North America..

Jabba was one of the ROTJ toys  made in Mexico, (MIM) so the US Kenner versions and Lili Ledy versions are very similar, shown in the middle here with the more yellowish belly.

Rare ESB 6 pack Vintage Kenner Star Wars 1980

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

Some of the rarest Star Wars collectibles are the multi packs. or boxed sets, normally these  were catalog items thru Sears, Penny’s Wards. Labelle’s or other regional retailers.

DSC07182Here is a great find form a few years back – It is shown with the original Figures it came with. – The Most unique being a  Rare Yoda – no coo version  and thought to be only a euro version- but found in this Kenner box set. in baggie.  Finding this yoda adds credence to the theory that  some figures thought to be only Ledy from mexico or PBP etc, were found in the US market in Kenner baggies.

Vintage Kenner Star Wars Action Figure Variations of North America

If I am missing something let me know. – This is not a complete list of variations but only the COO, as one COO may have several unique identifiers, such as hair color or head style etc which also makes a particular figure rarer.

Northland Toy show 2015

by News and other Star Wars collecting stuff

The best toy show in Mpls.  is over for this year, and were exhausted. Scored some great deals. and sold some great toys, thanks to the  dealers who do it and the collectors who come. I made some appraisals on some unique Vintage Star Wars figs, but had to burst a few bubbles on Repro posters.

Awesome pickup on the  Mego Wayne foundation- and I said good by to my Fortress Maximus.   DSC07420 DSC07422 DSC07421 DSC07419DSC07411
