A very interesting read, especially the bit about 'hundreds' of first shots being made of each figure. I wonder how many of each has survived.

Does anyone on here have any of the original molds? That would be cool 8)

The only mould I'm aware of is around Todd's various cavities.

Thanks for sharing. I wonder if anyone was daft enough to put a wick in and create a Star Wars candle
