Why Star Wars Figures Make Collecting Awesome!
When you think of Star Wars it is almost impossible to grasp the scope of such an iconic franchise. It debuted at exactly the right time when audiences were itching for great effects, the abilities of science and space travel, and the very human element of heroes succeeding against impossible odds. Star Wars showed that no matter how far technology, time, and space travel evolution will ever evolve — we will never lose the basic elements that make us human. Love, hate, greed and redemption will go with us always. It was a bold story mixed with the right amount of imagination to capture decades of fans and enthusiasts.
Over the years there has been an enormous amount of merchandise release celebrating the Star Wars franchise. From action figures to lunchboxes to costumes — there is little that has yet to proudly wear Star Wars dressing. Action figures have been blessed to be at the forefront of Star Wars merchandise. It has been great for collectors — Star Wars action figures have scarcely ever left the shelves since the movies debuted. Today we are going to look at some of the more unique Star Wars figures that have captured our hearts.
Easily one of the house favorites is the line of Ralph Mcquarrie signature figures. Released in 2003, these figures are based on some of the sketches done by the early and revered art designers of Star Wars, Mr. Ralph Mcquarrie. Why this matters is that Star Wars succeeded because it had such great design and artistic direction as a franchise, and these figures prove the work and dedication that went into making something into a certified classic. What is neat is that the Mcquarrie figure look so very different from what we all recognize as Han Solo, Boba Fett, and Storm Troopers. It is unbelievably neat to see the origins of these figures in actual toy form that can be put on your shelf. When they were released, they were part of a limited run making them more popular and cherished by collectors. Let’s take a look at some of our favorites:
Some of the other great and unique figures that we think are worthy of attention come out of the Saga Legends line of figures. Many of these figures have great paint scheme and were highly collectible due to the color of the coin included in their packaging dictating their rarity. We love that. It’s what makes collecting great. Without further ado, take a look at some awesome figures you may not have see before:
In conclusion, there have been many awesome Star Wars figures over the years. The question is which ones do you want to add to your collection to give it some unique flavor and something that makes your Star Wars buddies drool.
