Starwars Episode 1 Year 1999 Action figures !!! Absolute vintage Review of my collection !!!!

Dear Toy fans and Starwars lovers out there i wanted to share with you some of my absolutely vintage Starwars action figure which i have kept some many years ago. I bought all this action figure back in 1999 !!!!

Yes you got that right .... I have kept them all along for my own personal collection and never sold them.These version of the figures were never manufactured again (well as for now). But i still think this is one of the few classic action figures which were the key characters back in 1999 when the Episode 1 was first released.


Well i bought as many as i could so that  i could sell some and keep some. Well the ones i'm gonna show you are the one i have kept all along and all this while and i wanna share them with you. So enjoy the vintage collection back in 1999 !!!!!


This figure below is Mace Windu !!!!!







I bought this figure in a limited edition box which i personally collected from Hasbro. It was actually manufactured under the Kenner Label originally. One of the most exciting figure i had at that time.














Even the hood covering his head is done in very accurate detail like as it is folded down neatly to fit his cape !!!!






Even back in 1999 even the action figure resembled the actor itself with it's details of the face.It was a great job done. At that time that was Samuel L. Jackson.



The Next figure below is Captain Tarpals. The Gungan warrior.





I find this Figure to be absolutely fabulous for the fact that it's one of the most authentic and very detailed uniforms for the character itself. The colors are absolutely nice and the uniform is really fantastic !!!!
Hasbro has done a fantastic job with this one. Back in 1999.







The staff in his hands are absolutely removable. 
















The back of the action figures bares his ears like long scaly fins which are also done in very great detail.






As you can see here Captain Tarpal's close range shot is also great as a toy . The details are very much the same as in the movie !!!!





And who can ever forget this character which i'm gonna show you below. The character and the mother of all characters which started it all !!!!

Queen Amidala





This was the actual dress she wore in the opening of the Starwars Episode 1 saga and followed by other authentic dresses she wore throughout the movie !!!!!






Side view of Queen Amidala is also great as a pose as you can see the very detailed part of her upper sleeves and overall dress as well.














Queen Amidala's Dress also looks great. Look at the mini circles around the back of her dress. It's all part of the design of the dress which was made intentionally as in the movie where she was featured.






Queen Amidala's front part close up is also great with her signature make up and hair do's and also her long robe and necklace around her front part of the dress which are really made to the details as in the movie !!!!

Queen Amidala was a great creation for the Episode 1 Franchise as it was a whole new direction for the storyline with the beginning of the Starwars saga....


Well very much said the next figure below was the most captivating for me back in 1999 was the ultimate villain !!!! called Darth Maul !!!!

What captivated me to collect him was for the fact of his uniquely painted face and a really evil look and a great new villain in the making for the Starwars Saga as well.


Well this is it Darth Maul below !!!!




This version of Darth Maul is the version where he is wearing his full cape all covered in disguise while hunting for the Jedi's in the desert in tatooine, like in the movie. And of course his light saber in red.













The back of Darth Maul is also fantastic with the details of his hood over his head and the long black robe which he wears.










And lastly here a close up of his face. Well what can i say it's also done very well considering the technology back almost a decade ago when this original toy was being manufactured.


I hope this brings you some information on all the different characters from the original toy line from Starwars episode 1 back in 1999. I will show you more figures and toys back in 1999 and earlier if i have them with me and more great reviews and pictures coming your way ....... Cheerzzz !!!

Starwars Shock Trooper Exclusive Review !!!!!

The latest line of Starwars action figures are rather coll and unique in collection. But i have realised that there were some figures in from the Star wars episode 1 which were never re-released for this latest toy lines but rather that they have included other new action figures never released previously in the Starwars franchise. Well this was one of the figures which wasn't release before (well I've never seen it before previously). But i have recently been fascinated with the different type of troopers in the Starwars Franchise which i am particularly very interested in.

This boils to this exclusive review of the latest toy which i have got from the Starwars franchise.

Let me present to you the Starwars Shock Trooper



Well featured here is what the entire package comes with the shock trooper itself.

I like the little cube which comes with it which i will show below. 



It's actually a dice which is used in the Galactic card game which is given with this action figure consortment.



The Card used in the galactic card game.





In this latest editions of Starwars action figures each figure comes with a display stand like this so that you can put your action figure like this in my picture below.











The Red paint on the Shock Trooper is very unique in it's creation. If i remember properly several Shock Troopers appeard towards the ending of Episode 3 the part where Anakin Skywalker gets burnt in the hot larvae thus causing him to burn in flames when Darth Sidious visits him. And some Shock troopers take orders from Darth Sidious.



The long rifle which comes with this action figure looks rather cool with the Shock Trooper holding it.






Picture of the Shock Trooper with the actual Small rifle.

















And Lastly a close up of the Shock Trooper's face. They actually have abit of the same look with the Calssic version of the Imperial Storm Trooper but rather modified and colored for design. My favorite toys in the 80's were the Imperial Storm Troopers and Darth Vader (well of course). And back then Starwars episode 1,2 and 3 were not created as yet so the toys were limited. But thanks to the latest Starwars Franchise there were other new action figures to collect and new characters were created as well.


If you haven't got your shock Trooper go get your shock trooper today s they are limited and there won't be anymore till the new Starwars toys start coming in. I really like the colors of this particular trooper and hope you do too.

Feel free to comment on the various toys i hav eposted and feel free to connect with me with my twitter,facebook and youtube accounts. Cheer zzzz !!!! people.

Starwars The Vintage collection Darth Vader Exclusive review !!!!!

I actually have been collecting Starwars Figures and vehicles in the past from the years 1999 up till 2003 and sold off most of the collections in 2004 !!!! I still have some of them but most of them are gone but i have acquired some latest hot stuff i managed to get in the stores recently. They are actually old stuff but it was recycled back into the stores for clearance when the new Starwars movie The Phantom Menace came out in 3D. This brought back the Starwars fever back again.

And who can ever forget this particular character from the Starwars Trivia??? He is the most popular hero turned villain in the Starwars storyline. Actually the whole Starwars Saga revolved aroung this particular character of how he became evil. And since his looks were so unique in the bad guys in fact the only influential bad guy !!!
He became instantly popular. And for a collector like me i particularly like this character and it's really essential to my collection of old toys.


Well this is Darth Vader !!! From the Empire Strikes Back (The Vintage Collection) .




Darth Vader has a very unique mask and Head gear which i really like very much. Actually if you had noticed something Darth Vader is the only Bad guy from the Sith to be fully masked covering his whole head.






Check out the Black cloth behind Darth Vader. It's fantastically done like a long black robe just like in the movies. It goes very well with this action figure. And this is really a classic. Actually if you are a Starwars Collector you would know that  there are different versions of Darth Vader through out the years being re-issued, re-manufactured and re-produced. But this version for my review is more closer to the classic Darth Vader look alike.






And yes here is Darth Vader with his Red light Saber !!!















And here is the ultimate close up of Darth Vader. Revealing the Dark side of the force !!!!

A very detailed look indeed !!! It's very unique and hasbro or would i say Kenner has done a great job preserving the very classic details of Darth Vader's looks.







Yes people like what you have all been thinking Darth Vader's helmet and mask removed from his head. This vintage collection of Darth Vader comes with a removable headgear revealing the face of the real Darth Vader !!!! I was actually fascinated by it as well because i always wanted Darth Vader with the head gear removed. And i actually managed to get it.

And the pictures above i have shown both the front and the reverse of Darth Vader's Headgear, which is a Mask and the top helmet.



Yes this is the man behind the Mask of Darth Vader . Anakin Sywalker. He don't look so sinister anymore with his Headgear removed does he ???

Like i said the details of the Kenner version of this particular character is very well done and the facial details of Anakin Skywalker are really awesome. 



Darth Vader's (Anakin Skywalker) scared head like what happened to him in Episode 3 (Revenge of the Sith) where he had a duel with Master Obi-wan Kenobi and his legs get cut off by Obi wan's lightsaber and he gets burnt by the hot larvae burning his entire body including his head.













An overall look from behind of Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker).

This would be my last picture for this particular review of Darth Vader from the Starwars action figure review. What i would say get this version of Darth Vader with his head gear removed. It's really cool. There won't be much of this character sold anytime soon once the Starwars fever subsides as Darth Vader has always been the most hardest character to come by as he is extremely popular and the manufacturing market has reduced the quantity of this particular character !!!!! So his demand becomes higher. So well get your hands on one before it is gone forever with the end of the Starwars Movies !!!! and storyline !!!!


The story of Anakin Skywalker becoming Darth Vader.

Later guyzz happy hunting !!!!!
