10 Shocking Amazing Crazy Kenner Star Wars Facts!

[@ThatJunkman]

Yes know about the Apostrophe on my shirt. It’s there for reason for someone to see and get :)

[@ChrisCaldwellO66]

😆 I got it.

[@gojirazillasaurus6341]

Junk man I actually figured out the millennium falcon I have is actually fairly rare it’s worth like 100$ well it actually used to be my brothers when I was little so yeah

[@Zan_Jayna]

A bong and a blintz

[@Raysboss302]

The weapons. Forget the figures. It’s the weapons who are fucked.

[@MadMagicianKaros]

I can't help but feel this is related to the video Retroblasting recently did 🤔

[@RansomeStoddard]

I have the super-rare "yellow" Stormtrooper variant. Not only is he completely yellow, the black paint is largely missing and he has extra swively (loose) limbs. Plus, he comes with factory-original dirt caked into all the crevices of his helmet. I bet I could get a lot for it on eBay. (that was sarcasm)

[@maryrowe1504]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@micjordan1919]

My old school mates dad used to work at palitoy in the uk who made the uk star wars merch,he used to bring him two figures home every couple of days, one for the loft and one to play with.Last time i saw him his dad still has every figure boxed mint condition in a box,not seen the light of day since the rotj era

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

🤯

[@luckyj.ferguson6308]

Which rainy day is he waiting for exactly? He'd probably be worth more than a million dollars or close to it.

[@micjordan1919]

I rember as a kid he had 15 jawas to play with,they were rare in the uk,it was one of the few i never had.

[@donalddlugos6688]

Lets.find this dad

[@tperson8347]

Yes! :)

[@nept1974]

If I’d kept all my Kenner Toys in their package I’d be a rich man today but I would have lost out on all my enjoyment of playing with them when I was a child

[@Barada73]

Kenner could have made a throne for the Emperor with the “trap door” feature, like the Dewback and Tauntaun, so you would just stand the Emperor up in the chair and it would be sculpted to look like he was sitting down.

[@CreepyUncleIdjit]

Could be fun. Would make it look like all that was left of the Sheevster was just his upper half.

[@steveharvey2102]

Like Mr. Snoke. Lol

[@edb.1577]

We all know what Kenner should've made back in 1980 but never did, the Cloud City/Bespin playset. All we got was the cardboard flimsy Sears version.

[@ryancoulter4797]

There’s a store in my hometown I want to dig through their basement. Back in 78 or so it was a hardware store with a sweet toy department in the basement and a LOT of Star Wars display and advertising. I like to think it’s still all down there gathering dust

[@steveharvey2102]

Maybe there could be some E.T. Atari games too!

[@arctrooper999]

I left my Chewbacca outside on the porch and he sat in the sun and rain for a few days and when I found him he had green limbs. That's how I played with him for the rest of the 80's

[@adamcedarwall6049]

So Chewbacca basically turned into mossman lol

[@bobwest9267]

Swamp thing.....

[@timolson2047]

How the hell did we make it through 78-84 Star Wars collecting with only 1 Chewbacca 1 Darth Vader 1 Stormtrooper 1 Yoda etc....

[@steveharvey2102]

I heard a rumor that the green arms occured if you used that Virtual reality contraption too much. You know, that machine Lumpy used, to see Dianne Carroll, (The brown colored lady), from the holiday special. Cheers.

[@battroidattack]

I have a loose retro Chewie figure I found on eBay a while back and It has the copyright year of 1995 and was confused at first until you pointed out the four pack. Thanks for the info Junkman 👍🏼😎

[@shanester1832]

I lost my chewbacca in the garden for months. Eventually my dad found it. I remember it all turning green not just the arms.

[@tperson8347]

" .. not just the arms, but the legs .. and the torso, too. IT'S ALL OBI-WAN'S FAULT!!" Hahah :) sorry, had to :)

[@joshuaross4644]

The classic 4 pack from 1995 was sold here in Australia through Big W which is the Australian version of Wal-Mart

[@ronniemckinney6808]

My cousins had the fully assembled puzzle of the Millenium Falcon cockpit scene framed and hung up on their wall. This puzzle was huge! My great-aunt (their grandmother) assembled it. She was a whiz at putting puzzles together.

[@Floyds_Toys]

Would of been cool if Kenner re-released the Death Star playset slightly retooled for Return of the Jedi. The Emperor's throne replacing the cannon on the top level, some new cardboard panels showing the under construction exterior. But what to do with the trash compactor, hmm...

[@ringokageyama6439]

I was thinking about combining 3 or 4 of them with the elevators in the center. Can add more gray levels & recreate the landing bay on the ground floor

[@Floyds_Toys]

@@ringokageyama6439 somewhere online once I saw someone did a complete circle with like nine of them.

[@stretchyhulk]

I suppose Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru were also Leia's aunt and uncle too...

[@irondice5183]

No, no relation They weren't even blood relation to luke, they are related to the guy who their grandma was sold to but only after she had her one kid

[@deadend1041]

@@irondice5183 no it's the same relation, aunt and uncle by marriage.

[@stevegallo8483]

Shmi Skywalker, Anakin's mother, married Cliegg Lars who was Owen's father. That would make Owen and Anakin step brothers. Thus Owen and Beru would have been Leia's aunt and uncle as well.

[@Miakel]

Kenner, forget your planet puff! We needed a Bespin set! Bespin set! At the 3 3/4 inch scale.

[@nevaehstarrojas3918]

So much better than politics, Thanks for my fix.

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

My favorite puzzle was the Mos Isley Checkpoint. Any image that had Stormtroopers and / or Sandtroopers captured my attention. I so wanted a set of TK armour when I was growing up.

[@andrewgrant2990]

Honestly Cosmo Curse sounds like something straight out of Marvel's original Star Wars run.

[@anthonyreed3682]

Yep, they had some strange stories those first few years.

[@ausewanee]

As a middle-aged Star Wars fan (and Alabama native), I’ve really enjoyed this KZbin channel. Please keep them coming buddy!

[@allosaur1766]

You showed the wrong door as the AT-AT door, that was just an elevator for the landing pad

[@spoonlee1035]

OMG Junkman!!! What were you thinking

[@mikeshirleyforever]

I had to revisit the scene to make sure as I thought Luke entered the scene from the AT-AT. Oh well! This was still a very informative video as always. Always enjoyable and fun!

[@bobwest9267]

Yup. The door luke comes out of is the at-at.

[@candoentertainment9118]

My old man was a general contractor and he built me a wooden AT-AT before the toy came out. He even put a door underneath so I could recreate the Luke scene from Empire.

[@eugenecoyne7814]

Thats awesome

[@jamespeters2859]

Planet Puff, soundz like a retail outlet for buying weed.

[@luckyj.ferguson6308]

Planet Püff is C-3PO's home world... According to The Simpsons.

[@hcmv007]

I didn't know most of those, so thanks for sharing! I hope your son's surgery goes well!

[@scottakanumba1heathen379]

The "Vizier" mentioned on the Star Destroyer box illustrations must have been a 2-decade early premonition of Palpatine's assistant-ish Mas Amedda. 😸

[@Rayman1971]

sorry, not the ATAT door, that was the door to the landing pad. you would need to run the entire scene to see it, when they turn Luke over to Vader.... Just the nerd in me can't handle that oversight!!!!

[@ThatJunkman]

yes I guess most didnt get the joke, I thought adding the "right??" text would help but didnt it seems :(

[@johnryder1713]

They could've copyrighted an Asteroid field playset, just a box of potatoes and old shoes?

[@JackieWohlenhaus]

I only had C3p0 in the large scale when I was little & it really bugged me. The fingers on one hand broke off just to add further irritation.

[@8bitgamer85]

It’s because ReAction Super7 has been doing a lot of action figures of popular movies, TV shows, cartoons, rockstars, and horror icons that are designed like old Star Wars 12-back style such as Karate Kid, Big Trouble in Little Chinatown, Breaking Bad, Transformers G1, Voltron, TMNT, KISS, and Universal Studios Monsters. It’s becoming popular among collectors. That’s why Hasbro has been releasing retro original 12-back Star Wars toys. They’re also styling The Mandolorian figures in retro 12-back style.

[@ThatJunkman]

not just super 7, retro in in style now and all toys company are doing it

[@bbb462cid]

Love the shirt, but I have to tell you that an apostrophe *never ever* makes a noun plural. The make :rerpro" plural you just add a "s". Hope this helps.

[@ThatJunkman]

[@christopherwieber783]

Although some of your views are not in line with mine, I still love how you can come up with new talking points about old toys. At the end of the day who cares how you say AT-AT.

[@rafaelperello6603]

Great video! You found the hidden entrance (even for Darth Vader) in AT-AT! :p

[@grendel824]

Were people at Kenner really so ignorant that they thought "Executor" meant the same thing as "Executioner?"

[@toomanyhobbies8351]

I hated those puzzles. They were often a consolation toy since I could “share it” with my brother.

[@steveharvey2102]

You should have just killed your brother. Problem solved. It worked for me, but please get your parent's permission first. Also, batteries not included. That's really the only downside. Guess you take the good with the bad. :) Cheers.

Planet Puff was discovered by amateur astronaut Reyn Geyer during a secret independent space mission in 1968. After harvesting some of the planet's spongey surface, he brought it back to Earth and sold it to Parker Bros, who marketed it to children under the name "Nerf."

Hey J-man. I just wanted to thank you for clearing up the Skywalker family tree, for me. My friends and I are always arguing about weather Owen and Beru were Aunts and Uncles to Princess Leia, just like Luke. Now I know the truth. Thanks again for clearing that up.

[@ThatJunkman]

Well the prequels did that :)

[@ken_tiki5241]

The word ‘Repros’ doesn’t require an apostrophe. As it’s plural, not in reference to ownership. The more you know. 😜
