Heheh.<br /><br />Yeah, I remember Stevie G being really big till past his 3 Men and a Baby Days. I wonder if they had to pay him royalties for the cutout! :)<br /><br />Yeah, the figures are great for lightsabers and blster pistols in that scale if for nothing else. I guess you can't find those anywhere else because they're copyrighted.SirDragonBanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061860978530022895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874789746848317241.post-76647525919107929822010-06-18T23:53:41.661+08:002010-06-18T23:53:41.661+08:00damn you, I listened to the whole thing!

I think the funniest thing about the video is that Steve Guttenberg was apparently big enough in the 80's that they could not get him for the video!<br /><br />As for the review, I do not collect the Star Wars figures but have though about picking them up for accessories in the past.

I would sure like to see your R2 collection. :D And yeah, that's the exact 3-PO I'd like to get. I passed on him a few times now but have been really close to buying him--now I gotta have him to complement my R2 and ewok collection to come... ;)<br /><br />@Anonymouus - I am--in fact, I have and it'll go up on Articulated Discussion (articulateddiscussion.com) when the editor(TAO) feels like it.

In some ways, this is scarily realistic, since they never had an R2 model in production which could do everything - there was a remote-controlled one, one for Kenny Baker to fit inside, one with the various doodads, etc. But in the alternate reality of toys, no one droid to rule them all. Yet.<br /><br />@ Wes Grogan: Yes, throne 3PO is awesome! so awesome in fact they've released him again in the 2010 Saga Legends set (SL17 to be precise)!

I guess Guttenberg couldn't make it to the set, so they needed the cardboard stand-in, because everything in the '80s that featured Steve Guttenberg was AWESOME!<br /><br />I like this R2.
