The Stan Solo Astroid Droids in this video are original figures accept the R2 D2 unit ,they never were made until he released them and that in my book are original in vintage form , a lot of collectors complained of the cost of his figures but not me because I knew producing them wasn’t cheap. Hell I’m 60 and I still enjoy collecting SW vintage and custom vintage type figures and what happens down the road when I’m gone I don’t care. But SS has given much to the SW collecting community and I’m so damn happy to have them to set up w the other SW figs. 😊

Great job, it looked like a pain in the butt to get done. Just out of interest, Did you try prizing the torso apart with pliers from the peg holes at all? You can usually tell if it will crack open or break the torso just by how the resistance feels. Would love to see you paint them. You could do them in the styles of the other pilots A-Wing style Green, B-Wing style Red, Rogue One style Blue etc with outfit specific straps and vests. That would be cool even though they are snowspeeder pilots.

They really could've just released the figures back in the 90's as they were, then continued in retro instead of those awful he man style ones we got stuck with.
