JediJman's Month o' Vintage
P-Siddy:
I'm just impressed that there are vintage figures still left on cards, and that the cards are in mostly, mint condition! Wow!
Phrubruh:
Those are beautiful! It's cool to see those price stickers. I didn't know Target was around in 1983. I guess we didn't get them out here until the 1990's.
JediJman:
Thanks! I didn't know about Target back in the 80's either, though I know they were around in places like Minnesota. Today's feature gets back to basics...kind of. With all the recent talk about the great Gentle Giant 12" droids, I had to dedicate today to R2-D2 with Sensorscope and C-3PO with Removable Limbs. The little guy goes first. R2 comes with a pretty good card and bubble. While it is unpunched, there are some creases up near the punch tab. The card also has a little bend and discoloration on the lower right. The bubble has yellowed a bit, but is otherwise solid. The picture makes it look dented a bit on the top for some reason, but that's a trick of the light and angle. On the flip side, Threepio looks case fresh and has the Emperor offer to boot. Flat, unpunched card and a crisp, clear bubble make this a really nice piece to display. Just a bit of light veining near the top. I'm really happy with both of these.
P-Siddy:
Sweet! Is it just the angle or did vintage R2s have long legs and short torsos? I haven't looked at mine in a while.
And what did Sara think of all these?
JediJman:
Just the angle I think. Sara is, of course, in love with all my SW collectibles. These are no exception. ;)
