The days of only acrylic coffins are behind us.
The good folks at GW Acrylic have found the perfect compromise for collectors who wish to display their figures & accessories in an attractive display case, but don’t want to deal with the issues relating to having figures graded. Their new range of accessory holders give collectors the opportunity to safely display their SW vintage in an acrylic case without sealing the figure and accessories away forever.
This is a project we can get behind. On the accessory pages, I’ve added a GW section with the relevant acrylic accessory display case. There will be a link which takes you through to the GW site where you can purchase that product. We receive a small commission which is channelled back into the running of the site and helps cover the costs of creation tools for VV content. We remain a non-profit, community supported project.
Check them out on our ACCESSORIES page and direct at GW ACRYLIC

It’s my pleasure to bring you the figure guide of one of the best figures in the entire Kenner line-up. Luke Jedi Knight!
Many of the licensees produced a version of this figure, so there’s no shortage of variants. We discuss snap capes, accessory pairing, fabric discoloration, film-related accessory alterations, and yes, Taiwan re-tooling. There’s also a COO sheet update now including all the cavities in the Taiwan family.

This month Wolff & Tim take a poke at the Tusken Raider, and have produced an awesomely detailed guide for this figure.
Rare paint schemes, mixed parts, head mould variations, foreign licenses and plenty of Hollow cheeks, if that’s your thing!

Mini update here. The main R2 guide was completed last year, but I’ve been holding off on fully updating the Wind-up Takara section till now.
There’s two mould families of this figure with a few variations between them. The Takara sticker information has also been updated with some extra little details for you guys to check out.

IG-88 focus guide has been a revelation.
We’ve detailed the evolution of the figure through the pre-production stages, discovered production issues, replacement limbs moulds, highlighted some major retooling, noted rare Kenner releases and even discovered a new version of the IG-88 accessory hiding in plain sight!
