30 Pieces of Star Wars Junk!

Here's a big one, full of junk. It's a smorgasbord of Star Wars crap, ranging from figural erasers to wallets, night lights to keychains and watches to more watches, all from the early `80s and all opened from their packages specifically for this article, and thus, C10 minty fresh. Thirty different items are featured, and at least five or six of the reviews are worth reading. Seeeee you later.

Second! Thx Matt…

I’ve never seen more detailed erasers. God, that Roayl Gaurd and Akbar figure could easily replace my action figure versions if said action figures went missing.

I like the Landspeeder comb. When you take the comb part out, it looks like the Droids were jetisoned.

The Droids on the wallet look like they’re walking in a winter wonderland.

A+, Matt!

That’s a couple toilets full of Star Wars crap. Good stuff. Nice work. I always thought that older movies never really advertised as much as they do now. I was so frickin’ wrong.

The novelization of ROTJ makes no mention of any cookies during the Leia/Wicket scene. I guess we’ll never know….

Wow best post. I’m amazed there are so many combs. I guess people at Adam Joseph figured Star Wars fans need help with grooming.

i can never get enough of trinkets and baubles. especially those of the star wars persuasion.

i’ve seen return of the jedi more times than i can count, so one of two conclusions can be drawn:
1.)i’m blind
or
2.)i’m gullible

because i don’t remember ever seeing the stormtrooper throwing the ewok over his head. when does it happen, or is it just that i’m gullible?

Dang, Firefox crashed and ate up my (witty, wonderful) post. In summary: ~Matt, you’ve outdone yourself again.
~I want that landspeeder comb.
~The references to the Dianoga and especially 2-1B had me rolling on the floor. So funny.

Notice the squeaky toys

Most of those items are really cool. It’s as if they actually put some sincere effort, other than just gettin’ the dolla dolla, into making them.

I want that Darth Vader candle just so I gather a bunch of friends around, dress them like ewoks, and recreate the final ROTJ scenes in which they cremate him. That would be a partay.

What an amazing assortment of junk! Thanks Matt for keeping the articles coming when you’ve obviously got a ton to do.

Chestnuts roasted by Shelby @ 02/19/2005 4:56 AM

thank you for your time and consideration.

That Vader wallet is bad ass. BAD. ASS.

These are good but they don’t come close the item we found at a flea market in Alabama. It was a bar of clear/amber soap with a small Chewbacca figurine encased in it. Maybe they were inspired by that whole Han Solo thing.

Smørgåsbord is only apropriate for food tbh

You think Star Wars merchandising is really out of control? Try some anime series in Japan. In the Land of the Rising Sun, they really take merchandising seriously. Take the anime Dragonball/Dragonball Z. A ton of merchandise came out which probably dwarfs the Star Wars line such as video games, action figures, apparel, school bags and even items like food products and cookware!

you missed out on the unauthorized star wars bongs, made by a califonia glass company out of starwars "head" mugs. freakin’ sweet.

I totally remember how those erasers smelled. Thats the first thing that came to mind when I saw them. Bestest article ever

Chestnuts roasted by dr mindbender @ 02/19/2005 11:21 AM

I WANT TO PUT R2-D2 IN MY MOUTH.

Seriously, there was something about the scent of those "collectable" erasers that made them irresistably chewable. I think mine finally fell apart after weeks of gnawing on their heads.

Chestnuts roasted by JRR @ 02/19/2005 11:24 AM

I remember these things. Cool stuff. does anyone remember the really cool 3d cardboard sarlac pit/Jabba’s Barge board game? complete with 3d plastic figures?

Chestnuts roasted by Gene @ 02/19/2005 11:40 AM

I saw the trailer for Episode 3 the other day which I wasn’t expecting, and… it was totally awesome! Wow… that movie, it just looks fantastic… I’m defintely stoked.

I still have my Bradely Ewok Watch, sitting in my wife’s jewelry cabinet. My third-grade school photo has me wearing it. Let’s see… that would be twenty-two years ago? :)

I have the Emperor’s Royal Guard Figural Eraser. It is by far the worst eraser ever. It has always and will always either smudge mistakes or rip paper to oblivion.

And it is only worth $8. I long for the figurines that I blew up with M80′s.

None of those things can compare to the true bizareness that is…

It’s funny… because I had both those keychains and I DID rip off the keys and use them as the dolls. Actually, until you pointed out that they were keychains I just thought they had these strange loops on their heads…
