I had #58 at age 4. I still remember lying in bed with Gamorrean in one hand, while I threw his plastic accessory in the air and caught it in my mouth and began choking. I ran to my mother and she hit my back till I spit it out. Fun toy. 😆
Now that's a story!!! 🤘 Thanks for sharing! 👍
Freaking Awesome! Unbelievable, I know but! I had them ALL,, UNOPENED Original.. until my home burned down in a So CA wildfire in 2003.. Gods! I started collecting the Summer after 6th grade in 1977. Got them all and then some till that fateful day in 2003.. I still have PTSD over it..
Oh man!! I feel for you - that must have been an awesome display 🤘 Well, I hope this has brought back good memories, not bad ones! I do worry about my collection sometimes - what if scenarios. Thanks for stopping by, cheers Dave 👍
Same bro, here in Australia we lost our entire Kenner collection in 2009 bushfire that took out a few suburbs; looks like we're off to PTSD counselling with you
Such a brilliant collection. This is a visual reference that can give you years of views as historians in the future will go back too for reference! Brilliant work my friend!
Thanks Mike!! 🙏 Yeah hopefully it'll be a useful resource for collectors and those just interested!! 😎
May the 4th be with you my friend, really nice photos you take! 👏
Thanks!!! 🙏 All taken on an iPhone! 👍
Amazing to see how many of those I actually had!!
👍👍👍
Great video Dave. I found your channel via Toy Polloi Dave.
Thanks David!! 🙏 Welcome! 👍
Thanks for the video!! My parents bought most of these and a lot of vehicles for my brother and I back in the early 80's . Since they bought 2 of each for he and I mom put red nail polish on one of the feet of one of the figures to differentiate between his and mine so we wouldn't argue if we were playing with each others figures! Brings back good memories.
Hope everyone who reads this is doing well.
Thank you for posting your story! It's amazing how many figures these days have nail polish on their feet. Mums knew best 👍
@@VintageToyRush Thanks for responding to my comment. Where are you based? Cool to find out more moms did that with nail polish! And I don't know how my parents did it buying all the Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers and M.A.S K. toys for 2 of us which cost a lot of money.
And as far as I know they're all still in the their attic. How do you recommend trying to sell them?
@@JB-ug5mf I'm based in the UK. That sounds like an impressive lot up in the attic, those are all very collectible toy lines these days. There are several approaches to selling - eBay, Facebook Groups, dealers such as specialist vintage shops - you could try to sell individual items or as a lot. Prices can vary depending on condition, completeness etc There are going some who will give stupidly low offers, so keep an eye out for that. eBay sold listings is a starting point for market values, but that's only a rough guide. Am happy to answer any questions / provide guidance if you ever need. Cheers 👍
Amazing video. Interesting to note that only 1 Darth Vader was released, for ANH and that was it. Curious as he is arguably the most famous character of the franchise and appeared in all 3 OG films.
Yeah, I guess they thought the Darth Vader figure was good enough. To be fair, it is a decent figure - but one variant at least would have been awesome 👍
Great video for Star wars Day! May the fourth be with you and DCB!!
Thanks Marc!! 🙏 MTFBWY!!
This is great and I liked the music too good choice! Reminded me of Kavinsky (did Night Call in the Drive soundtrack) proper 80's style!
Oh yeah, proper 80s - just had a listen to the track you mentioned! as I haven't seen Drive 👀
Great movie (quite violent) and good soundtrack!@@VintageToyRush
Great pictures, and music. I have to add your pop-up lightsaber bas upside down in R2! Still cool though.
Thanks 🤘 Now that's a new mistake! Never realised - there are quite a few in this video. Mind you, all the photos, editing etc were done really quickly to get it out on time. I may re-do this video one day 👍
@@VintageToyRush Still a great video, keep up the great work.
@@PaulBloomlittledevil thanks!! 🤘
Wow Dave what a way to show off all those figures. Happy May the Fourth Sir.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks Tez!!! 🙏 I believe the photography may have been influenced by you 🤣 MTFBWY 👍
I have most of these, but long ago came to terms with the possibility that I may never have all of the "last 17". Great video Dave. MTFBWY
Thanks!! 🙏 MTFBWY!!
What an awesome collection. I wish I bought up vintage figures when they were cheaper in the 2000s. I was to distracted by collecting modern figures. I do have some vintage figures but my pride and joy from my vintage collection is my Death Star playset, Sears exclusive Cantina, Sears exclusive Imperial Cruiser and 1978 Tie Fighter.
Thanks! 🙏 Yeah the prices of vintage Star Wars these days is crazy, if only we all bought up more back then!! Sounds like you have an awesome collection - I'd love to have any of those pride and joys. Never even seen the Sears Cantina, that's the one with Blue Snaggletooth right?
@@VintageToyRush The one with the Blue Snaggletooth is the Cantina Adventure Set. That's an awesome set. I have the Creature Cantina Action Playset. Not as popular but more "toyetic" in my opinion. It has a plastic base with pegs on it to hold figures as well as lever mechanisms to make figures fall over for playing out scenarios . It's a relabelled a Butch Cassidy set by Kenner from 1979 which was themed as a Saloon. Kenner just changed the cardboard backdrops and stickers to make it look like the Cantina.
@@silvervalleystudios2486 oh cool! learn something new everyday!! 👍
Look at that shit eating grin on Lando. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!
He clapped them cheeks
So many classic figures!
They are classic indeed !! 👍
@@VintageToyRush 😊
Such an original way to show the whole 96...really enjoyed the video!
Thanks!!! 🙏 I may do updated revision of this at some point in the future!!! 👍
Editing is at the next level Dave. This is a great way of celebrating the day.👍
Thanks Chippo!! 🙏
Great collection , thanks for taking the time to sharing it with us 👍
Thanks Gavin!!! 🙏
Amazing video, must of taken you ages to photograph them all!
Thanks!! 🙏 Wasn't too bad - making some of them stand on their own was the biggest problem 🤣
Great channel and content ⚘⚘
Thank you kindly 👍
This is fantastic! Appreciate all the effort that went into this!
Thanks Dude!!! 🙏 Once all the photos were taken and a design for the layout decided upon, it didn't take too long 👍
👏👏👏👏 well done! That took lot work
Thanks Jon!!! 🙏
Cool video
Thanks!! 🙏
That's some overview🙌 What a line-up.
Thanks Chris!! 🙏
Anyone else notice which vintage kenner star wars action figure is missing? Only 95 of the 96 are in this video. The Imperial Commander and the AT-AT Commander are both the same figure (the AT-AT Commander) the Imperial Commander is missing from this video.
Yes, it was a mistake and has been noticed several times 😀 One day, I may do another version of this video with all the known mistakes fixed 👍
Nice one Dave , no better way to celebrate Star Wars day without reflecting on the 96.
Thanks Jack!! 🙏 MTFBWY !!
What a way to start the day! Loved it and the photography is on point Dave, you must've had a master class with Tez 👌 MTFBWY 🍻🥳👍
All done with an iPhone and perhaps a little inspiration from Tez!! 🤣 Glad to have started your day positively 👍 MTFBWY !!
Wow! Imagine the time you spent on this vid! Wow!! Great ref for beginners and expert collectors alike! I tip my hat to you! Cheers! 👍💖😍💖👍
Thanks!!! 🙏 It didn't take too long and was more of a mechanical approach rather than filming yourself talking 🤣 Hoping this will be useful for collectors or those interested in the line!! 👍
@@VintageToyRush Yes, it will be! Great ref material indeed! 😍
Excellent video Dave! Looks like you got them all! :)
Thanks Tim!! 🙏 Yeah completed them about three years ago - although I'm not sure about the graded boxes - would love to have them free! 👍
Really cool thanks for sharing
Thanks!! 🤘
Love my star wars toys
Awesome!! Thanks for the support!! 🙏
Awesome video Dave. Also love the intro lol. Really nice job mate. Roy
Thanks Roy!!! 🙏 I didn't know whether to include the intro or not, but it seems to work.🤣 Glad you enjoyed it!! 👍👍
Nice job Dave, its like a video version of those collector posters sold on ebay.
Thanks!!! 🙏 Yeah, it is kinda like those posters 👍
What's this now!!???? Vintage Rush Tuesday!? YEEESSSS! Lol cool video for today Dave, and I'm loving the fact you're using white bat audio now, wicked tunes man!! I've been using them for a while now. Love seeing the 96, and nice info with them.
Enjoyed it as always mate 👍
Agreed. I think all three of us like the vintage vibes of White Bat Audio😉👍
@@Chasing80sToys definitely Chris, I remember you putting me on to it, brilliant tunes
Ha!! Yeah Tuesday!! I tried to negotiate for a Friday May 4th but the Sith Lords refused my request 🤣 Been trying different music - I love the White Bat Audio tunes, think they suit our videos 👍 Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed this one!! 🙏 MTFBWY !!
It's amazing they produce such quality music for us to use !!
@@VintageToyRush haha yeah such a awesome surprise this morning, you’ve done a great job of this video Dave, and you’re right the music works great 👍
Awesome editing and presentation, loved it
Thanks!!! 🙏
Nyce, I like this
Thanks! 🙏
Thank you for ACTUALLY correctly naming the Death Squad Commander. NOBODY uses the correct name anymore from the action figure.
Thank you for the positive comment! 🤘 The number of times people have pointed out mistakes in this video 🤣 Cheers!
@@VintageToyRush You're very welcome.
What do they normally call them - ‘Death Star’ Commanders?
Can be known as Star Destroyer Commander, getting rid of the word Death :)
Awesome video! Can’t imagine the time this took but it has worked so well. 👍👍
Thanks Andy!!! 🙏 It didn't take too long once I had all the photos 👍
So nice and minty fresh
It's all in the lighting 🤣 Thanks!!! 🙏
Awesome video!! Music is also very nice!!
Thanks !! 🤘
Having all the bounty hunters was the best when I was 12
Fantastic! Collect them all!! 👍
@@VintageToyRush I still have round 30 of them 😁
Wow🤩How did I miss this vid on May the 4th🤭Beautifully done Dave and an invaluable reference vid for novice and experienced collectors. I’m only going for last 79 as really don’t want to go for the increasingly expensive L17 … mind you some of the original 79 prices are going sky high as well😁 I’ve got 62 so far and I’ve decided to display in movie appearance for my cabinet. For May 4th I posted on FB my vintage collection so far, it’s not the biggest but it keeps on growing (much to my wife’s consternation😄) MTFBWY🙏🏻👍🏻
Hey Mando!! I'm glad you caught this video 👍 I've also chosen movie appearance order for display, I think it works well. Good luck in your hunt for the rest of the figures!! I didn't know you posted on FB - where are you posting your collection pictures? I'd love to see those!! Thanks for watching and take care!! 🙏
@@VintageToyRush 😄It’s under my real name, if you’re fb friends with Tez, Shabby, Matt or Marc you’ll see I’m friended - my first name is Tony and my profile avatar is same as my Mando one😉 My top row is a bit out of place from the films - I’ve got mainly the droids and small stature figs on there, but rest are film order … hope you find me👍🏻
Prices on vintage is about to plummet soon so just wait
How soon? Wouldn't mind picking up a few cheap 12 back cards 👍
Great video Dave 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks!! 🙏
So shiny Dave 🤩 what do you use to clean them please 🧴🧽
Nothing special 🤣 When I get a figure I just wipe it over with a damp cloth (or maybe a wet wipe). Lighter fluid can be used for stubborn marks. Some cold water washing for any of soft furnishings takes out any creases etc and that's about it 👍
Removable helmet(ESB) or saber damaged Vader(ROTJ) would have been a cool option.
Yeah shame there was only one Vader!! 👍
Great video. Mtfbwy
Thanks!!! 🙏
Super cool video!!! Where did u get all the full color pics? I absolutely love this...
Thanks Jibber Jabber!!! 🙏 I took all the photos on an iPhone from figures in the collection 👍 Glad you love it !!
Cool video! I was wondering if you could correct the entry at the 2:26 mark. You have the figure listed as "Imperial Commander", when in fact it is the "AT-AT Commander", which you show this same figure with the correct title at the 2:41 mark. I was wondering if you have the correct figure to edit into this to avoid any confusion for future viewers. Thanks so much!
Ah yes - this error has been commented on several times! Unfortunately, the way TH-cam works it's not really worth making an edit. It's very unlikely the new video would be put in front of people and I don't really want to remove this video as there's plenty of comments etc I don't to lose. Perhaps in the future, I may make an updated version. I appreciate the feedback - it's frustrating the error crept in, but this one was put together very quickly in time for May 4th!!
I have most of these figures. Sadly, the ones that are the most valuable are the last dozen or so. They were the ones of the last line when I stopped collecting them. How I wish now that I would have invested in them when they were first available.
Nice!! 👍 Yeah, the prices of those last 17 or so just keep rising!! 🔥
@@VintageToyRush however, I do have purple Snaggletooth, but it is not worth as much as I though it would by now, as there are still a lot of collectors who have it.
I have a carded A-Wing Pilot. I wonder how much it is worth.
Nice! Not sure exactly but definitely valuable! 👍
I have at least 1/3 or more of those.
Nice!!! 👍
Awesome reference for padawan collectors like myself Dave 🙌 can I assume this is your personal collection ? and the order you show them is this the order in which they were released ? So so nice 👌
Thanks Rawzaf!! 🙏 Yeah, I took the photos on an iPhone!! and they are in release order 👍 Hopefully it's useful and entertaining to you! 😎
So useful, so entertaining and beautiful to watch thank you Dave
25th Hulk Like Smash. WOOT!
😁😁😁🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎
Ha!! Awesome! 🤣🤣🤣
2:56 - I never understood why the Tie Fighter pilot is so thick.
Yeah, definitely chunky 😎
@@VintageToyRush Yes, but why? Did they use a special molding tool back in the days?
i got about 40 of them
Nice!! 🤘
Great list, but it is missing several figures: 3 - Legged R2-D2, Blue Snaggletooth, Max Rebo, Sy Snootles, and Droopy McCool. I also count Jabba, Salacious Crumb, Dianoga, and the Probot as figures for my collection.
Thanks!! 🙏 I love all those figures you list, but this video is called the 96 figures, and there are 96 listed 😎 I may do an updated version of this one day 👍
@@VintageToyRush there's only 95, not 96 in this video. The Imperial Commander is missing. The AT-AT Commander is shown twice.
I also include the Han Solo in carbonite (from the Slave1 playset), and the Wampa as figures as well.
Wow! Awesome video, Dave! Big Bang Theory to start? Check. Grinding electronica? Check. Beautifully photographed original 96? Check. Loved it! Are these all YOUR fugures? If so, wow! Great collection!
Thanks Paul!!! 🙏 Glad to have checked all your desires 🤣 They are indeed from the collection room - photographed with an iPhone 👍
Actually, it's 1978. Not 1977. True the date stamps say 1977 for a lot of them, but they weren't in our hands until 1978.
Yeah, I've used production date not release date in this video 👍
How can it be 1977 when the first figures were not even available until February of 1978?
Production date, not release date. I kinda wished I used release date now, so I wouldn't have so many comments about it 👍
@@VintageToyRush Movies are not identified by their production dates. The Star Wars film is not listed as 1976 but by release date of 1977. No product of any kind is dated by production date but rather release date. Casual fans think the coo date stamp means you could buy the figures in 1977.
Your video is wonderfully edited and very fun, just pointing out this very common mistake about the date
Ive just started my collection. This video is just what im looking for . Thx
Nice! Good luck with building your collection! 🤘
@@VintageToyRush
Are these current prices the norm ? Some of the first 12. Luke ( farmboy) is ridiculous price.
Do you recommend buying in bulk or hunt individually? Thx
Got, got, need, got, got, got, need, need etc etc
🤣🤣🤣
Can help notice you are missing one ( 2:27) the Imperial Commander has been substituted for General Veers or the AT-AT commander. I understand where you might be coming with this . It appears General Veers was the one in the Imperial commander card but in regular uniform .
Well spotted!! This has been highlighted before and is a genuine mistake 👍 I'll probably make a v2 of this video at some point. Thanks for watching! 🙏
You got the #40 wrong, you used a picture of the AT AT Commander instead of the Imperial Commander... just saying.
It's been pointed out before 🤣 I appreciate you saying - maybe one day I'll do an updated, corrected version of this video 🤘 Cheers!
Interesting fact
You had 4-LOM and Zuckuss listed as their original card.
However, 30 years later, it was discovered via George Lucas, that the one carded as Zuckuss is in fact 4-LOM, and vice versa, as Zuckuss is an insect looking creature, and 4-LOM is a tall droid bounty hunter
So these two figures were carded and referenced wrong for many years
Interesting face indeed! 👍
@@VintageToyRushAnd a beautiful face at that
The first figures came out in 1978
Yep, released in 78, production in 77 👍
👌
🙏
2:26 this is the AT-AT commander not imperial commander, oh here he is again as AT-AT commander 2:41
Well spotted!!! Thanks! At some point I'll do an updated version 👍
@@VintageToyRush I think Blue Snaggletooth is the one you're missing
Yep, I'm on the hunt for a Blue Snaggletooth, don't come up very very often and not cheap either 👍 and then it'll be 97 🤣
@@VintageToyRush Oh! Well then if the At-AT commander is there twice, who's missing?
The Imperial Commander is missing - well he's listed but his picture is wrong - I used the AT-AT commander picture twice!!
Great vid and comes in very handy as on collecting these myself.
I have just started a channel myself but its all abit hard to get used to .
take a look if you get chance
just subbed you bud
Thanks, hope the video helps you on quest to collect them all!! 🙏 Good luck with your channel, I've subbed back 👍
@@VintageToyRush thank you bud
I only have 74.
Nice! Sounds like a great collection 👍 Which ones are you looking for next?
@@VintageToyRush Mosty the last 17. I just started collecting a year ago. I've slowed down because my wife said I was spending too much money .🤣
@@Zarglos ah yeah, we've all been there - those last 17 are crazy prices now!!
Max Rebo Band? 😂
Then it would be called 'The 99... Figures' 😂
No IG-88....
Had to look cause there are some errors in the video 🤣 But he's there at th-cam.com/video/jav-Lah5BzQ/w-d-xo.html - cheers 👍
No Chewbacca or Darth Vadar?
Yeah, within the first 30 seconds!! 🤣
@@VintageToyRush Whoops. Sorry. Was going to try and make an excuse, but I won’t bother 😂😂
@@2risquejunior538 no problem! there are actually a couple of mistakes which others have kindly pointed out - repeatedly 🤣
would have been nice to see force ghost kenobi in your collection or was that after 85.... dont remember.
yeah that was after 85 - plus I don't have one in the collection 😎 thanks for watching!! 🙏
@@VintageToyRush ive got a rather large collection of many in the package toys that hasnt seen the light of day in many many many years. as old as i am i still get star wars presents at christmas, its rather cool to open the wrapping and get a toy at my age. obviously i never open the box but its cool anyhow. ive actually got a force ghost obi wan, he is cool looking, totally see thru, made of a clear hard resin. i subscribed to your channel, thanks for the video.
@@kinggzz very nice!! good to meet another collector! and maybe I'll have to look out for that ghost obi wan - thanks for the sub 🙏
Where is Mon Mothna
I've no idea!!
