"The Recycling of the Force" -- article by Ron Salvatore
http://www.toysrgus.com/images-speci/recycle/
This information is likely old hat to most of you Vinty collectors, but I got a kick out of it. Particularly the section on the Ewoks/Prince of Thieves toys--I'd previously read about those reuses, but it was neat to read more details and see comparison photos. :)
Discuss.

I'm not a hardcore vintage collector, but I love that site. There's just so much off-the-wall stuff there, plus the guys know what they're talking about, unlike some SW sites. ;)

That was a great article! Very interesting! ;D
I really liked the Gamorrean Guard/Friar Tuck! ;)

More goodies:
Unused concepts and mockups (http://www.toysrgus.com/images-concepts.html), including extremely tantalizing proposals (http://www.toysrgus.com/images-speci/85LineExt/index.html) for the 1985-86 timeframe that would have continued the saga post-ROTJ. (!)
Other unrealized prototypes and other concepts (http://www.toysrgus.com/images-unproduced.html) (not quite as exciting as the first set, mainly alternates of existing characters and toys such as rocket-firing Boba).

BTW, a little Googling revealed the robed figure loose (http://www.toyotter.com/sp/robinhood.html) and carded (http://www.figurerealm.com/Galleries/robinhoodprinceofthieves/friartuckbattlestaff.html). :)
