I haven't added a figure to my loose vintage collection for a long time. Here's a recently acquired Takara alternate sculpt C-3PO partnered up with my wind-up R2-D2.

Me too, great variants.

The Dangar MOC is so damn cool. Think restoring it will be fun as well. If you can find an already damaged similar CB, go ahed, but I think a good laserprint front and back, glued on carboard and but into the cut out nameplate might also work as well. Can't wait to see the restored MOC ... but take your time. :wink:

love the takara r2 got mine the other week.. he does sit well with golden rod!! nice work mate

Those Takaras look fantastic together, congrats 8)

Great new acquisitions guys! Love seeing all the great items everyone posts.

Keeping with my recent Hardware Wars related acquisition. It's been 40 years since this great Star Wars parody came out and I'm working on putting together a makeshift action figure line for fun. Here's what I've got so far.

"Identification."

"Oh a gee I think I left my I.D. in my other pants...."

a right odd little curio. late 70s early 80s bootleg jiggler found in american vending/gumball machines. they were clearly copying the kenner look. they can be found in assorted in colours i thinks its just the first 12 figures they copied. they are made of rubber

I've managed to finally add one of these to my collection. Complete with all inserts except the planetary map, which I already have.

Love the Takara C3PO, looks great paired with the R2 unit. As has been mentioned, The Takara sculpt looks so cool, and the unique COO, Well, Gets my nod everytime!

The bootleg Chewie is great too, awesome pick up!

I had a look online and the general consensus was the v1 rifle, which my Kenner 4-LOM had. So got a spare one and swaped them over.

Nice example that Dr Ball 8)

Love the 4-Lom, never really noticed the different colour armour. Very nice.

Nice acquisition on the red armour 4-LOM. When I was hunting variants I remember that as a particularly tricky one to find!
