Jez said:I remember my Mum proudly presenting me with Han and Luke for my first figures.
I'm almost certain that they were ESB but no idea of the manufacturer.
Luke was opened first, he was my favourite. I absolutely loved that figure. It will disgust you all to read though that after a few months i removed the tip of the lightsaber because i thought it looked crap; i mean the lightsaber is either on or off, there was no crappy weedy bit sticking out in the films!
Han was naturally opened after Luke, a great figure who often went everywhere with Luke. At that time i had no idea about the small head big head thing. He had a blaster so he was cool.
Darth was a great figure, in my opinion. The size and build didn't annoy me, but regrettably the tip didn't last long :roll: He had a special smell, the same smell, TFP and Rebel Commando keep well.
My biggest memory of Chewbacca was that he was my Sisters favourite, he was the one she'd marry apparently! :lol: What was great about Chewie was he never dropped his gun. Good man/wookie.
Stormtrooper - I finally got one to escort Darth, but it wasn't for a couple of years.
Leia was a bitch to find in the shops. That said, i think i initially struggled to bring myself to buy a female doll, male dolls fine, female dolls, well i'm not sure about that
I don't remember getting Sand Person, DSC, Leia, or the droids. At the time of my collecting it was all about ESB and then ROTJ.
Great story Jez
Nice to see you also remember Darth Vader had a special smell
