Rare Star Wars Toys That Never Made it to Stores

While Lucasfilm has licensed the Star Wars brand for thousands of products and toys, there are some that never get produced for one reason or another. Steve Sansweet of Rancho Obi-Wan has collected some of these rare items, like an action figure for the six-breasted Askajian dancer from Jabba's palace.

0:45 The look when the holiday special is mentioned

[@elnieto6710]

Norm would've been awesome in The Office, he makes simple interviews awkward as f**k.

[@cameronsteele9330]

Just from watching I have a feeling that Steve is like the sorta guy who you'll never meet but feel like your best buds he's that cool of a guy

[@Caxerw13]

That glance at the camera at Sansweet's mention of the Holiday Special, though!!

[@RetrocadePodcast]

The thumbnail is a bit clickbaity; I was looking forward to seeing a colored version of the 40th anniversary statue.

[@sidious81]

With Norm's arms always at a 90 degree angle, he would make a great C3P0!

[@Hasmanian]

@ 0:10, I got one of those letters and I was one unhappy little consumer.

[@bloodfallsfirst]

my god....what a collection! I am soooooo jealous

[@timsgta]

Saw Steve at Star wars weekends, lucky man to have access to all these toys!

[@theshadowlands14]

I swear, everytime i look at the Tested "T," all i can see is a mandalorian!!!

[@LL-dt4he]

omg 😂

[@monkeyboy7126]

thanx now i cant get that out of my head👍

[@pauldelsandro8781]

Lol the look gave when the holiday special is mentioned

[@AshtonVan-Guard]

i could watch this for hours. wish it was longer. more content

[@Pegwarmers]

Steve's got the greatest collection of all times.

[@leeshard6754]

Gotta luv these guys, big thumbs up, I'm a big Star Wars fan but didn't know about some of this stuff, awesome!

[@luedriver]

I wish I had that luke skywalker and leia statue...

[@Jolamprex]

I'm surprised that ReAction or Gentle Giant aren't making the cancelled figures.

[@michaelkirk4056]

The Boba Fett figure with the shooting rocket was actually sent out. I used to have two of them.

[@Kornknealious]

Will Kenner ever make the Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru charred remains figures?

[@Kornknealious]

Daniel Longcore Can you get them back in the package?

[@fhb3]

+Thomas Korn Well, Kenner was eventually bought out by Hasbro, so we'll have to ask THEM...

[@Kornknealious]

Dammit! The red tape trail will never end!

[@saslogistics4385]

+Thomas Korn I have a couple of custom carded versions of Aunt Beru/Uncle Owen charred remains if your interested?

[@natemarin1038]

there's a cool tutorial on instructables!

[@nuclearguitarfare4653]

He's missing the poncho & belt on the endor luke!! Also he & the deathstar gunner came with a commemorative coin didn't see those either.

[@alexpskywalker]

Awesome stairs in the background.

[@cameronsteele9330]

You got to the shop in 2009 and see that strange figure from Jabbas palace, then you go back and It's still there in 2012

[@greedobob]

There were two ROTJ figures almost (but not) released, the six breasted dancer aaaaand.... we'll never know.

[@vassa1972]

Interesting love star wars

[@omgwtfbbqstfu]

this is "colbert platinum" level nerdery:D continue!

[@madking7511]

I loved the Star Wars droids animated movies. I think I still have a double-sided disk.

[@projektkobra2247]

That sculpture from the Hildebrandt poster..which for me...IS Star Wars...its how it was marketed to us as kids...even if this never happened in the movie...and they dont even look all that much like Luke and Leia...its got that old school Hollywood Adventure look about it.... Its one of only three wall hangings Ive kept...I have a signed, personalized Sean Young poster from Blade Runner, a poster from the Tamara DeLemicka art exhibit from Kobe, and that Hildebrandt.

[@StevClifSylv]

Lunchbox dealers exist???? wow

[@alexmertens5269]

Norm's face at 0:49 is GOLD!

[@carlrichardson5347]

Great video. I recent Bought a kenner Dianoga trash monster Green and small on an afa graded acryllic case and i noticed that it is rare and a great piece to collect and have.

[@jimodonnelly7762]

Jeez, I had one of those Droids figures he had on display. I sold it years ago with some other Droids figures.

[@maniakaz]

I love the look on Norm's face when the Star Wars Holiday special is mentioned. I have a copy of it here and every few years I try to watch it.. It is so bad it is hilarious but I rarely make it all the way through..

[@Chiikasaurus]

Oh my gosh the Star Tots figures are so adorable. That would have been something I would have needed to have. Han was especially a cute figure!

[@JohnnyBComplex]

Nerdtastic!

[@lgerback34]

Oh my gosh - that's the ONLY way I'm going to be able to see him from now on!

[@MandoMike]

2:05 "Kenner" not hasbro, I'm assuming he meant. Keep rockin' Mr. Sansweet... One day I will leave So. Cal to Nor-Cal to see this amazing collection.

[@pinpoint11]

amazing when you see two odd guys together. How much they begin to be odder.

[@theebigda]

The choke tube...Which every Lego piece would fit in...

[@randyroetter5520]

This was made on my birthday!

[@GlassesnMouthplates]

6:45 Is that a George Lucas hand puppet next to the gold Vader bust at the bottom?

[@HattieMcDanielonaMoon]

Glasses&Mouthplates YAS INDEED.

[@Spongemonkey26]

Rancho Obi-Wan is about 20 mins from where I live, I'll have to check it out one of these days.

[@JediKammy]

3:45 finally...a Sise Fromm figure.

[@skippygirl959]

Lol as much as Norm annoys me, he's actually kinda buff lol

[@vassa1972]

Great stuff this guy is so lucky

[@blockbuster9840]

3:48 it's Rey!

[@6672rock]

That Darth Vader at 6:30 looks like he's squatting to take a shit! LOL!

[@tysonkonken9808]

Norm has gotten a bit better, but I agree he seems indecisive in his movements.

[@cameronwhitney4914]

wish i knew why this specific video froze my xbox 3 times.

[@Guernicaman]

What's with the large 8D8 in the back in a larger scale? Is that the size they would originally work the mini-figures in before they scaled them down to the 3 & 3/4 size or something?

[@cabbycabby1770]

Why does Norm keep looking at the camera like a weirdo?

[@AlysonDLucca]

and what about the Lego line, like the ships, tie fighters....or action figures?

[@jonkennedyfederation]

i talked to a lot of "lunch box dealers".... dafuq?

[@Samael78]

I can't help but think of the merchandising scene in Spaceballs.

[@lisacalderon3367]

Very cool

[@Thatlegorandomguy1]

0:46. Perfect.

[@johannsimonot]

Next episode: rarest star wars collectibles never products :D Just kidding, crazy collection ;)

[@mikeledger2614]

Love it

[@scottakanumba1heathen379]

Did anyone else notice that tall (I assume 12 inch) 8D8 torture droid? I wonder if that's a prototype for POTF2 that was never made - would have been cool to have a tall 8D8 and EV-9D9 together, you can't have one without the other.

[@tigerjingles9734]

How much for the glass case? I never. Saw it in any of the movies except the original one!!, has to be worth tens of thousands

[@jdncoke2]

they were scared of kids swallowing the spring loaded rocket, i remember in the early 90's having action men toys with all sorts of little things far smaller and potentialy more harmful

[@FilmMastersChannel]

Been to Rancho Obiwan... it's awesome... check it out if your in San Fransisco area. Go online to book.

[@tetsuoswrath]

I wanted Yarna and I bought the ONLY ONE I EVER FOUND in store. So no, Sansweet doesn't speak for any consensus. :{

[@therealscarred2112]

I’m interested in how they gloss over the reason why the missile-firing Boba Fett was cancelled: several kids choked on the missile-firing “Viper” from the original “Battlestar Galactica” toys and ended up dying, and that’s why the “choke tube” standard mentioned was put into place - so that no projectile too thick to become wedged into a Child’s Throat.

[@slayzproductions5395]

I have that kind of version of boba fett I got my at vintage stock

[@iandavid7730]

Always amazes me that no post apocalypse film ever features people going after the cool shit. I'd be kicking the doors down of this place.

[@axiom34]

I think it was in 1978 I was able to pick up and operate a hand crank Star Wars Cinematograph (spelling) that featured almost the entire Tie fighter battle. I never saw it anywhere else or after. Does anyone else remember this?

[@BURP39R]

I'd like to think there is an outtake of the younger guy. He's reaching over to the cabinet saying "Is it okay if I just pick" Older guy: "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT! I WILL TOTALLY BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH A LADLE AND DUMP YOUR BODY IN A RIVER! NEVER TOUCH THE GOODS!"

[@rhproductions6458]

Luke looks like He-Man in the thumbnail 😂

[@JRSofty]

Not just his arms, his head bobbles a lot like C3P0 as well. It makes you wonder if he was doing it on purpose.

[@obiwanmcgregor447]

I actually have the Kenner rocket firing version with spring. But the spring is broken so it can’t be fire.

[@Laughing__Emoji__]

1:16 Remember, Don't swallow kids.

[@afonsolucas2219]

Deadpool does not approve.

[@Devil115]

dat staircase :D

[@RyseBarbatos]

norm is so awkward at interviewing.

[@KnightOfNostalgia]

all that sweat

[@scottakanumba1heathen379]

I'd just turn the mic over to Steve and let him handle the complete tour. Hardly any questions needed. Other than "Anything Master Luminara I *HAVEN'T* yet seen?!?" LOL

[@DEATH2thaSTUpid]

need to go to Rancho Obi Wan before i die....

[@TwesomE]

Those cinema cut's couldn't actually sold as toys from a company like kenner since they mostly produced toys at the time i imagine.Still statues like those are mostly for adult collectors and display purposes rather toys.

[@Bus_Driver117]

i must pilgrimage here before i die.

[@zameliz]

so... where is the working lightsaber?

[@truelazerlight]

Strange, other people think he's too shy ... Apparently people can't make their mind up. Seriously, he's a little awkward, but a lot of geeks are. That's what makes us lovable!

[@dominicsidaway1930]

Beware of lunchbox dealers kids, they're dangerous

[@poopboy3998]

The rarest character I have is a Lego chrome stormtrooper

[@mmogi2]

I think he's just a bit shy

[@directedbydave9798]

What if instead of doing the rocket firing boba fett(I've seen a 6'part video about it) it was a boba fett firing rocket!

[@rosie811honey]

What is your fav light saber?,anyone can answer as i would be very interested to know>

[@iamtheAwesomo3000]

I'm a fan of the Star Tots.

[@S0ZIE]

The authentic prototype rocket boba fett can go for 17-20 grand

[@S0ZIE]

Nerd for life bro!

[@weprin2]

May the force be with you.

[@KaisWorld1687]

I don't know what to do with my hands

[@skellan34]

He needs his Soy milk

[@patjackmanesq]

Poor Norm was struggling to get a word in! 😊 Nice vid tho...

[@gmanthatguy]

I wonder what the collection value is!

[@behindthescenesphotos5133]

I bought a Yarna D'al Gargan.

[@ncopictures7182]

Does he have the C-3PO Tape thingy?

[@Qwerty-zj3rk]

This guy looks like John Patrick Lowrie haha.

[@greatgamer907]

You should make a Star Wars movie

[@SethHesio]

Really interesting. I have the Yak Face figure... I hear that's rare. anyone know what the rarest Star Wars toy of all is?

[@allthingsawesome2]

cool

[@chitownsfinest1013]

Song?

[@wampabutt]

This is terrific. But you can't get any of this stuff because STEVE SANSWEET HAS IT ALL. There is nothing left to collect. So...I guess go to this museum to see the stuff you'll never have? Seems like torture but ok....

[@CaptainRex96]

Ian Christiansen Let's be honest, at least we can see it as a public as opposed to a collector who locks it in storage

[@wampabutt]

Very true, sir. Better out than in :)

[@cathyvickers9063]

How do you jump from Asia to Cincinnati? I'm FROM Cincinnati, & I almost thought you meant someplace in Asia!

[@mondosommerso]

Wow

[@francisco4benites]

They should do the talking Yoda now that would most likely be the biggest toy sold from star wars shit look at tickle me elmo
