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 Episode 1 (3D) Sebulba's Podracer Exclusive Review !!!!

Here i will also be updating other toys besides my Transformers Passion. I'll now let you see my new passion (old passion actually) the new Starwars vehicles which i have always loved collecting for a long time now. The Star wars vehicles. Starwars actually have the most coolest vehicles i have known other then the Transformers which are vehicles and robots at the same time. Starwars vehicles have a unique touch to it. So i always collect the vehicles and some action figures if i deemed them collectible or nice.

Now i'll feature the Podracer from the Starwars Episode 1 franchise. It's actually Sebulba's Podracer. This is the one of the only vehicles never circulated for the other movies or series in the Starwars franchise reason being it was only featured in the First exclusive opening of the Starwars episode 1 and since Anakin skywalker became Darth Vader, there were no more podracers other then Battleships, tanks or cruisers.

So without furthur ado this is Sebulba's Podracer.




As you can see Sebulba's Podracer is orange in color like in the Episode 1 movie.

It's considerably a big vehicle and requires ample space in your cupboard or display shelf to display it.




Sebulba's Podracer is very unique as it is the rotating blades like fans are bigger in the front then other podracers and is very unique in color and design. I for once find this toy actually amazing. The only problem i had when i was taking this pictures is that the seating position of sebulba's racer wasn't really standing well if you put it in even floor level you gotta get something to support from behind so that it will look like it's in the air, consistent with the blades in front of the podracer.









As you can see at the front of the Podracer there is like damage type of spray paint which has been given to the toy istself. It's rather cool looking in a sense it looks like a damaged type of effect don't you think ??



Thought of giving you fans out there the top rear end view of Sebulba's Podracer. Isn't it cool and nice for the review !!!!




Thought of just giving a cool frontal look of Sebulba's Podracer . As you can see the Static charge looking thing between the engine blades looks so real. Hasbro has done a fantastic job in making this Podracer loook exactly like the real thing in the movie itself.







This is the hot seat which Sebulba's gets into for his race with all the other Podracer's . Even the seating model of this toy look so real .







As you can see on the right side is the blade which comes out and spins for attacking the other podracers besides Sebulba always knocking others out of the race !!!!




So this ends my rather small review of Sebulba's Podracer. One of my favorite Vehicles from the Starwars movie and toyline. My suggestions are that go get this toy as it is finishing fast on the toy shelves. I got it immediately when it was released so i have 2 of this which is one for my own personal collection.

This time around Starwars took a long time before it was released as a movie as Transformers took over almost suddenly and it was a mean come back with all the movies and cartoons coming out at the same time. And much to say countless characters in the Transformers toy and cartoons and movies.

So this Starwars toys and vehicles won't be around for a long time so get your Vehicles and podracers fast.

More toy reviews coming up like i said i will be concurrently updating new toys be it any type.

This blog is for generally for all types of toy collectors and fans passion for toy collection in general but i will definitely be reviewing the most asked for and the most popular toys too. So please if you have and y suggestions and toys you want me to review message me at my facebook or this blog and register so that i can be able to update you in the latest toy reviews which are the most popular and the most asked for ....

So cheerz !!!!!
