Star Wars Stan Solo Speeder & Trash Compactor Upgrade Parts!

[@MichaelJShaffer]

I've been a happy customer of both Trash Compactor and Stan Solo. They keep the classic Kenner dream alive and allow my collecting to continue. Thanks for continuing to highlight these types of cool products and talented toy makers.

[@Mvargo97]

Everytime Stan Solo puts out something, I am always constantly impressed by the quality and accuracy to what the Kenner toy would've been. The Trash Compactor parts are also very cool as well.

[@silvervalleystudios2486]

What is the story with the red Amanaman? Is it just an alternate colour of the same character or another of his species?

[@Mvargo97]

@@silvervalleystudios2486 I don't know a ton about Star Wars toys, but I believe the character is called Amaulman and is supposed to look like Darth Maul. Its just a fan created character I believe.

[@creasybear31]

Wow! I never knew that was a vehicle. I always thought it was a droid. Still learning new things about Star Wars 👍

[@stravellwood]

The amount of thought put into these action figures, vehicles and accessories is truly remarkable. Kudos to Stan Solo and Trash Compactor. They are allowing me the chance to take the Star Wars Collection I always dreamed of having, and turning it into a reality. I can't wait to see what they will do next. Big thanks to RetroBlasting for Keeping The Force Strong!

[@LightOfReason7]

You are right, Stan makes his stuff with just the right detail and quality

[@kaijukidsam]

You know it's amazing work when somebody like me, who is NOT a Star Wars collector, wishes I was just so I could get in on the fun :) Glad these guys exist, their passion for their work is inspiring in my own

[@likonatera7452]

The fact that this video made my heart jump again with vintage STAR WARS toy excitement (on Christmas Eve of all days) after all these decades makes this officially one of the Best Videos Ever in my book. Thank you!

[@J-T-A]

Individual specialized weapon accessories were what I dreamed of as a kid.

[@Sano1970]

Wow! I just had a HUGE smile on my face watching this one. Trash Compactor really is coming up with some wonderful accessories, and Stan? Well…his stuff is just fantastic.

[@wampaslap4123]

I support both Stan solo and trash compactor. They make awesome options for collectors that go beyond the 96 out there.

[@Bather12]

Trash Compactor and Stan Solo. Geniuses and two of the main reasons I continue in the vintage Star Wars hobby. Love it. Love the review. Love them x

[@TrashCompactor]

Thanks Michael, you're too kind! 🙂

[@kba702]

Michael, every time you do these videos spotlighting makers like Stan Solo, Trash Compactor, or Joseph Dickerson, it makes me want to go spend all my savings on starting a vintage Star Wars collection. Please don't ever stop.

[@brianw94]

Thanks for showcasing these two creators.

[@shockwave7513]

These videos actually make me glad I'm not a Star Wars collector, because stuff like this would make me go down such a deep rabbit hole trying to get all this cool stuff!!

[@JosephDickersonUX]

Really inspiring stuff. I love to see the "flex" these fans are bringing to the toy maker movement. Makes me want to work EVEN HARDER to do my stuff. I need to up my game. Great video.

[@steveharvey2102]

Competition breeds greatness! Wrestling fans have been saying that for over 20 years! Cheers from Canada

[@MyMateDave72]

Trash compactor and Stan Solo are great. I remember seeing trash compactor in the early days of his productions. Its great to see how far Mark has evolved Trash Compactor. When I first got into purchasing custom figures I found a site that sold them, I won't even waste my time saying the name but I never purchased I just observed for a while. Then I found Stan Solo and without hesitation I purchased my first 4 custom figures. I have continued to purchase from Trash compactor and Stan Solo. Not as much as I would of liked to over the last couple of years due to finance's but I regularly check in with their great additions to the Vintage Kenner Line. Great work guys , best in the business for me .

[@MyMateDave72]

May I add the service from both companies has always been spot on 👌🏼

[@AFAFsamedwards]

Thanks Micheal. I’ve been slowly digging my childhood toys out of parents basement since this years JoeFest. I just cleaned up and put my millennium falcon back together. Found a few more play sets and figures. My focus has been collecting Action Force, black series, & some classified. I’m wanting to grow my vintage star wars now after watching this. That vehicle is so dope and all those accessories are really cool. Time to start shopping. Thanks brother for all u do for this community and happy holidays. 🎄🍻

[@FADE_FROM_VIEW]

There’s something heartwarming about the fact that a 40+-year-old line of action figures and vehicles is still being breathed new life thanks to talented artisan fans. So many of these feel like trash, compactor and stand solo, were able to mine my childhood imagination and deliver stuff we always thought would have been cool in our collections.

[@frankbonura5710]

Michael you are a true Knight of the Old Republic.

[@habbinlad1]

Fantastic review as always Michael. Chris' work is truly beyond comparison 👏

[@LogicBlaster]

Another great review, Michael! Your support of this maker movement for vintage style Star Wars toys is always fantastic, especially when the quality is this good! This stuff looks amazing, thank you for showcasing it and making sure that collectors know that this stuff is out there!👍

[@eyelwin3368]

This is the coolest thing thank you so much for turning me on for this extra Star Wars toy option I can't wait to get myself some of them

[@marklechman2225]

All gorgeous stuff, but that mini-rig speeder is the icing on the cake. 👍

[@impossiblepie]

I've bought a Slave Leia, iconicon Fett, esb and rotj Fett and now that speeder from SS and many accessories from trash compactor and I don't plan on stopping! These are awesome!

[@SaturnCanuck]

Michael that was amazing. Yes they DO look like Kenner made then in 1978. Glad this stuff exists

[@scottstalcup6980]

I loved watching this. I don't give a toss about Star Wars but Stan Solo's craftsmanship is astonishing and your enthusiasm is contagious. You're a little kid again here and I'm happy for you. Happy Holidays to you, Melinda, BV and your feline overlords.

[@TimHayes]

Excellent video Michael! I hadn't seen all of that deleted scene of Luke with the binoculars before. I just remember a photo in the Star Wars storybook.

[@theartisanrogue]

I don't think there's a video you've done that has Stan Solo releases in it, that I'm not watching in just awe and amazement. And Trash Compactor's expanding line gives hope to my childhood figures that I can certainly fix them up again!

[@Ecto_Eric]

Love these 2 guys the quality is incredible never been disappointed

[@ThePancakeJedi]

Excellent video! On getting close to completing my vintage Kenner collection, I'm starting to look into customs. Quite exciting.

[@liningtheclouds]

You make my day every day Michael I only discovered your channel a month ago and it's quickly become my favourite.

[@cptoyscollection]

Thanks for sharing. Awesome video...👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻😎

[@mattdawg83686]

The fans come through once again when it comes to making toys! Crazy props to Stan Solo and Trash Compactor!

[@perello23]

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing buddy!👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌‼️‼️‼️😉👍

[@zabut2301]

I just purchased the Slave Leia with the collector coin, beautiful work! Thanks Michael for showcasing Stan Solo's work. Every time I purchase a figure from Stan Solo, I know it was money well spent.

[@pkeel7576]

I can honestly say the accessories in this video got my attention Very cool Very well thought out Not to mention these are items we didn’t know we wanted Great job all around

[@BenRai2k]

Always love your videos. That speeder is so cool, even as a little kid I used to look at it outside the cantina and wonder what it was and my imagination ran wild. Even today I still squint and look at every little thing in a scene on the OT wondering what things are. Something new movies just can't make me do.

[@jonniehotdog]

Both these guys are awesome. A diorama builder's dream!

[@greghughes9375]

Fabulous additions, love the vehicle- beautiful design. Now, about that Hydrovane - !!!

[@ronniemckinney6808]

I'm impressed with Trash Compactor. They do a great job with their new ideas that Kenner didn't do in the original line. Just like Stan Solo, they're fans that are slowly adding to the original vintage line and keeping it old-school cool!

[@UsualmikeTelevision]

The items you showed us are outstanding especially that mini-rig. Great video my friend!

[@johnr1457]

WOW! What awesome accessories, thanks R/B.

[@jamesporter1123]

i want the t-shirt he is wearing, it looks really cool.

[@richardrichard688]

I loved that the Imperial Troop Transporter was brought to life in The Mandalorian.

[@francoisregis2155]

Great video its amazing what they can do now I got 2 carded Stan solo figures for christmas and damn I want more of their products.

[@farminglittlepeople9623]

Those items look absolutely gorgeous! Great job guys!👍😁

[@pawlie7694]

Wonderful review! These guys get it!!

[@Youcannotfalter]

Wow, outstanding products.

[@sva3897]

Stan Solo & Trash Compactor: well done! Wish I had these items back in the eighties (the Luke blaster holder!). Hope to see more vehicles by Stan Solo in the future, the speeder looks awesome! Great choice for a painted logo instead of a decal. The fans are doing the best work, proven again!

[@peterboceski2672]

Enjoy your videos on custom vintage Kenner style pieces. I've got the Stan Solo Landspeeder 9000 on it's way, & his Bantha, Oola, Garindan & Slave Leia already displayed in my collection. I can't sing Chris Smith's praises highly enough. His items are pure quality! 👌

[@NewtonDKC]

I love these guys and their products so much!!! It’s like the dreams I always had years after the line ended where I’d walk in a store and find a bunch of Star Wars stuff I’d never seen before - it’s like they are both making those dreams come true! Id have utterly love that Ubrikkian Speeder as I’d have used it for the escape pod for R2 and 3PO (I know there was the one with Land of the Jawas but I never had it for some reason). I’d have the Droids flying all sorts of missions and adventures to save the gang! :-) wow I miss being a kid and playing with my figures!!!

[@bgoldbricks]

Now all we need is for Trash compactor to make a power converter accessory for Luke.

[@ThatGeekyMaker]

I have the entire 77-85 vintage collection and never had plans to buy custom figures, but when I saw what Stan Solo was doing I changed my mind! I got the Garindan, Slave Leia, Oola, and (as a droid builder) I of course had to get a bunch of the Astromechs. I know exactly what you mean, they look like what Kenner would have made back in the day and fit in perfectly!

[@wesleyhendricks2486]

I really love the stan solo stuff and wish he had a subscription where he would send the new figures and a regular time frame. Great stuff.

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

3:37 Chewy lookin pretty cool with those shades 😎

[@Paul_the_Bruh]

I've purchased Stan Solo and Pro Custom figures and accessories and they are both every bit of the high quality that you'd expect from vintage Kenner. I'm going to have to check out Trash Compactor next. It's such a great time to be a vintage collector.

[@ManCave1972]

I love the nods to 2001 with the Kubrick ‘Ubrikkian 9000’ named after the HAL9000 computer and the Z001 reference. They hid another version of the 2001 escape pod in Watto’s junkyard in the Phantom Menace. This ship is another remarkable item from Stan Solo- I grabbed a Yakface figure from him before and it’s truly amazing.

[@ShanthEnjetiArt]

These videos are really inspiring. Love their work.

[@ponchostoybox]

Well articulated. Great products indeed

[@brandonbeekman]

So, soooo good! Loved this video. All amazing additions.

[@RetrocadePodcast]

Love that Ubrekkian speeder, I have my Cantina Adventure Set and it really would look perfect on it alongside Blue Snaggie

[@_iwan_]

Incroyable, j'ai vu à plusieurs reprises cet étrange véhicule sphérique sur le site et tu viens de me faire découvrir à quel endroit il apparaît dans le film 🙃... Merci

[@Peak-OB1]

Got the speeder also, it is great and my favorite thing all year!

[@vickmandesantiago2536]

I just bought a C3PO.... Looks Awesome.... Already have my Iconicon Bobba.

[@magnumrex]

I got garindan this week and it's really impressive. It looks and feels like a Kenner figure. Out of all the customs I've seen it fits in the best.

[@batangbatugan]

Stan Solo is the Last Hope of the Star Wars vintage collector community.

[@8ByteBrian]

Everything looks really great & awesome except for the Leia accessory, the color doesn’t quite match but still a nice addition. I really like the welding gear for Chewbacca, that’s awesome!

[@timothyward8695]

You're never going to get a piece that matches the varied Leias out there. My Leias are all different colors.

[@MichaelJShaffer]

All of the items from Trash Compactor are meant to be painted - states it on the site. Even the mouse droids. They do offer some items pre-painted for a fee.

[@Harrison1875]

I always love to see what the fans are cooking up. Glad to see we're getting more farmboy Luke accessories! Happy 5th anniversary to The Last Jedi by the way, I adore that movie. Great time to be a Star Wars fan all around!

[@steveharvey2102]

If you're a fan of farmboy Luke, you should check out the "Star Wars" radio dramas". They are available on KZbin and add tons of scenes with Luke racing in beggar's canyon. Biggs is fleshed out more, as well as Cammie, Fixer and the Tosche Station! You also get scenes on Alderan, with Leia joining the resistence and the race to get the Death Star plans moving. It's an amazing expansion on the movies and if you close your eyes, you can see these extra scenes as a t.v. show, or movie! They borrow from deleted scenes, as well as stuff added in for the novels, that coincided with each movie. O.T. only, I believe, but there might be unofficial stuff out there too! Awesome stuff! Check it out! Cheers from Canada

[@Issicra]

Neat. I wondered what that little speeder outside the cantina was.

[@JMan77]

These are really well done! Chewies goggles. How cool is that!

[@matafuko]

I always called him "wee werr wap wap wowww"

[@seabdv9792]

Could not agree more with what he is putting out. I have bought pieces from both Stan solo and trash compactor.

[@asphaltmemories4597]

Completely blown away about the passion put into a blink and you miss it vehicle. Always loved how out of place that speeder was, like it was a call back to the ufo craze of the 50’s.

[@RoyalKnightVIII]

You've said it a million times and it's true a million times ;) The fans will do the work if the mega Corporations won't

[@geekstrong1]

I am definitely going to check out Trash Compactor. 💪😎

[@yesterlandtoys1138]

Very cool on what they are doing.

[@Bobaluga9]

Great work.

[@pasta8787]

Amazing video as always

[@bigpun7916]

That thing looks amazing ..and when I was a kid in 1977 , I swear I saw a ride in a mall that was a plug in ride you would put a quarter in and it was identical to that star wars vehicle in the movie , I swear I saw it .

[@indigoyarkindell968]

Outstanding video and thanks for the links!

[@fritzdescovich3759]

Hi Michael, first time viewer of your wonderful channell. I was a senior in high school back in 1977 when Star Wars first premiered, and I saw the Ubrikkian 9000/Z001 Landspeeder outside the Cantina on Tatooine. I always wished a toy or model would have been made of this vehicle. I build Sci Fi models and surf KZbin channels on the subject. I few days ago I caught your thumbnail of this video which really caught my attention. And at time stop 6:42 you blew me away with the segment that Stan Solo was offering the Ubriggian vehicle. I went to the website using your link and ordered one from the USA Etsy website right away. It is an amazing toy and I was delighted to learn it is injection molded plastic with professionally printed graphics, and not a 3D printed item. Fantastic professional quality! It's a Birthday present that my wife does not know yet she goto for this year! Your entire video was fantastic. I surfed both the Stan Solo and Trash Compactor websites - amazing stuff! Please have a wonderful Chirstmas (or other appropriate Holiday) and an even better New Year's Day 2023!

[@roryotoole3279]

WORMIE'S "GILLIGAN" HAT!!! Also love the sphere speeder, wonder if he'll do the stilty long legged speeder and it's owner.

[@bluehero-96]

Even though I don't collect action figures anymore, I'm really happy with the immaculate expansion these fans have made to the old Kenner line.

[@lukebaldock4672]

This is what the f'ing retro collection should be doing

[@ricardovelasquez2834]

That T-shirt needs a review, awesome!

[@jamespeters2859]

Brilliant video!!! 👊🏼

[@alexianemp]

Amazing stuff. Trash Compactor's Esty page is mind blowing! Oh, I guess I should mention if someone did not already, that the Ubrukkian (sp?) land speeder was an homage to Kubrik's 2001. Something like that was in 2001 and became a recurring back and forth reference between Kubrik and Lucas for awhile. I don't rember the full stoty but I think some recycled props were involved.

[@anthonyseta4566]

This is phenomenal. In the 1970s, my stepfather and my aunt worked at Kenner. We had so much star wars stuff. I even had the promo-pack release of four figures (Luke Skywalker, Leia, R2 and C3). This pack of these four figures actually came in one bundle with sealed cellophane. I was a kid, so hard to really know the marketing plan behind that bundle. Some of my toys got messed up and ruined in standard play, but I did make it to adulthood with the entire action figure collections from Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back - with all their guns, capes and accessories. I was already a teen by the time Return of the Jedi was released and did not acquire too many toys. Does not matter now, as my collection was stolen about 20 years ago. Still hurts. But these upgrades by Trash Compacter are just super cool. I love it how the Star Wars fan base just keeps drilling down to the minutiae, something that Kenner should have done back in day. It's a long ago memory, but I still recall being permanently pissed off about not having a Rebel soldier action figure (from that ship in the initial chase scene) to fight against my stormtrooper army. I had lots of those plus the other imperial guys with the black helmets and grey suits. This site is great. Thank you.

[@arctrooper999]

You know, my first Star Wars figures were stolen too, I was playing in the yard with a kid from the neighborhood and he went home, I went in to watch Speed Racer, and when I came out Luke, Han, Chewie and co. were gone. Unfortunately we didnt know where the kid actually lived and the rest of the block wouldn't give him up.

[@tperson8347]

I am very excited about the Ubrikkian landspeeder. I wish they would've made it much sooner. Thanks for putting my little buddy Snaggletooth in there. :) These are all great additions to the vintage line. I'm in total agreement on not wanting to stretch out Han's blaster hand. I would love to get a few of these for some other figures as well. Thanks for another great review. :)

[@enterprisingcaptian875]

I'd love to see them go all in on a Bespin playset. They could use the micro collection as a source of inspiration, just scale it up like Kenner should have all those years ago. Sadly it was a neglected world by Kenner. I'm certain these interconnected, modular sets would sell very well based on the collectors' desire to have these and the incredible attention to detail that these guys have!

[@retroblasting]

Ummmmm..... We already did that. Like, exactly that. You need to watch our videos more closely.

[@BobbyLCollins]

Hey Cap, here is a link to a feature on an excellent 3D printer's Bespin Playset offering: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZrPqpR7gJ5jias It's modular, and after tax and shipping it all costs around $1,400, there's a one-month lead time for delivery, and you'll need to trim off excess flash from the parts prior to assembly, but it totally exists, it's massive, and after some DIY it can look absolutely phenomenal!

[@JosephDickersonUX]

@@BobbyLCollins You can buy just the Freeze Chamber, The Control Room, and the Gantry separately. For a lot less than $1400. I know, because I'm the maker who did it.

[@BobbyLCollins]

@@JosephDickersonUX Hey Joe, I'm looking at your eBay listing right now. $1,100 + $140 shipping plus 10% tax (could be more, could be less) = $1,364. I probably should have rounded down instead of up, and I didn't notice the discount coupon that would bring it down to a far more reasonable eleven hundred and fifty dollars, and for that I apologize unreservedly.

[@JosephDickersonUX]

@@BobbyLCollins No worries. And yeah, shipping and taxes are the main blocker to buyers - Both of which I can't control.

[@yunoyuluvit]

I'd love Chris to come out with a Kenner-style TIE Bomber.

[@marklaurenzi1609]

These fans, with a smidgen of Hasbro's budget, are out doing them in both quality and type products people want. Impressive, most impressive.

[@dylanbottom4669]

I never knew that thing was a vehicle, 😲

[@Froobyone]

I was today years old when I found out that's a speeder and not a really fat droid!

[@MegaAppl3]

Amazing Work

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I gotta say...those are so cool!

[@gensolo83]

Wow, great stuff! Nice review!

[@GregorySesma]

Very impressive.

[@cjalexanderjr8811]

Since he's producing items from deleted scenes, hopefully he'll make an action figure of Han's girlfriend Jenny Cresswell from the cantina.
