SWTOTW, Week 13, 2018, Part 1/2 Romba

[Pomse2001]

Romba:

I thought why not choose Romba today, since we lost the actor Debbie Lee Carrington that played Romba in Return of The Jedi 7 days ago. Debbie Lee Carrington RIP. I never had Romba when I was a child but I took revenge later and now I have a little Romba army But first I have to find them so I will add some pictures later, sorry about that.

Rest in peace, Debbie Lee

Here are my 3 badly spelled Latin dance figures:

I prefer POTF cards over Tri-Logos anyway, but especially in this case as Romba's POTF card actually shows a picture of Romba, unlike the Tri-Logo card which for some strange reason shows Paploo instead ;-)

I've never noticed that before, thanks for pointing that out.

Wow nice Romba collection 8) I love that slide and all those moc :shock: I also like the other items and how you display them

Just this little fella for me

I know, it's one of those really weird ones! It's something you think you should spot immediately, but loads of people don't ;-)

And to round out Kenner's incompetence, the Tri-Logo Paploo card shows Romba!

Nice collection! My own POTF Romba used to look just like these (I'm guessing this is an old photo?) with a perfectly crystal clear bubble. I even have a photograph of it before it went into storage, out of sunlight in a dry, cool environment. Years later when I removed it to display it, BANG! Badly browned / yellowed blister, just like almost every other POTF card ;-). I don't know what kind of cheap and nasty plastic Kenner were using for those things, but the best I can say about it is that they were pretty consistent with its usage across the POTF range! :lol:

That pic was taken late 2016. I was lucky enough to pick up a almost full case of them, all with clear bubbles

 

[Taffius]

Loving the bears, images and info. Many thanks.

 

[Mini99]

Here's mine to add to the "sleuth" of Ewok's

It does seems that most of these cards that you see are in good condition.

That's a lovely condition card there without much yellowing on the bubble either

Yes, there are a lot of good condition Rombas out there, and I think that's probably because it's also one of the commonest POTF MOCs to be had. There's certainly a hell of a lot more of them than there are Luke Stormtroopers and Pop-Up R2-D2s! :lol:
