One of my TOP 10 from my entire collection !!!! (This will be Prob#7 out of 10)


Here we have a common ROTJ 65 Back-A , Because the ROTJ Action figures went out before the moive , Lucas decide that he didn´t want anybody to see.............well I guess everybody knows the story .....


Here we have a ROTJ Squid Head BACK65-B AFA80, in the back it only appears 2 ewoks (Logray & Chief Chirpa)



Here we have a ROTJ Squid Head Back 77A AFA80, in the back we found now 4 ewoks ( Wicket, Teebo, Logray & Chief Chirpa)


Here we have another ROTJ Squid Head Back 77A AFA80...but this one made in Mexico..so you can notice the variations (CAPE: in this one, same color but different material)


Now, we have the ROTJ Wicket W. Warrick Back77A AFA85, the weapon is located on the left side of the bubble and it´s rounded , so it fits the staff , during the early production of the ROTJ Wicket W. Warrick Back77A the weapon was located in the other side ( I don´t have an example of that one, ( I´m about to buy one!) but there are many pics out there of what I´m talking about.


Here we have a POTF Wicket W. Warrick Back92 AFA80 with COA from the Lucasfilms Licensing Archives, as far as I know all POTF´s Wicket W. Warrick´s have the weapon on the left side with the same Bubble ( rounded in the tip so it fits the Staff).


Here goes this lovely combination......
Wicket W. Warrick on a ROTJ Squid Head 65BACK-A MISCARD AFA 80,
•This item originates from a former Kenner employee. It is a packaging Test-Shot for the Wicket W. Warrick figure. Wicket, being one of the smallest figures in the line and one of the few with weapons that stand taller than the figure, required a new and unique blister to be made. His debut was on the 77-Back cards in 1983 and the first wave had a squared blister with the weapon placed on the right. Immediately following, his blister was changed to be more rounded with the weapon on the left. Prior to the 77-Backs release, this newly completed Wicket figure was affixed to a 65-Back-A Squid Head card in a test of the blister. This squared blister is similar to the early 77-Back release but is taller overall with a taller weapon-stem. Also, the color variation of this action figure and the accessories are notable from the rest of the production ( Darker brown).
*Please Note* Wicket W. Warrick never appeared on a 65-Back card as stated before, nor was in production at the time of the 65-Back releases.

This is the only example of its kind. Enjoy.......

That darker brown Wicket from the packaging test/miscard is awesome. I wonder if that is the HK figure?

Awesome figures. Nice history lesson too-very cool hearing what happened behind the scenes with these figures. It makes perfect sense now why you wanted to show each piece of your collection separately.

Nice job!!

Awesome Stuff Merlin that Wicket Miscard is the business!

THANKS CTSCANMAN!!.....Yesterday I visited 2 more collections, and I still think that the collection shot takes away the magic !!

Perhaps youll start a new trend Merlin with the daily updates

Love the Wicket

Top notch stuff Merlin.that wicket test shot is AMAZING!

One of my main goals is to have every single back from common action figures, or at least the 4 cards ( SW, ESB ROTJ & POTF )

So here we have IG-88.....

KENNER ESB 32 BACK A AFA80


KENNER ESB 41 BACK E AFA85



KENNER ESB 45 BACK AFA80 ( Not the best pic!)


KENNER ROTJ 77 BACK A AFA80



During this week I will put what I consider my #8 #9 & #10 from my collection.

1st of May , Raffle day = #1 Of my Collection ( Talking about carded figures , For me , this could be only the 2nd rarest behind the 1979 New York Toy Fair carded Boba fett Firing Rocket, and still that one has been opened!! ), It´s more common to see a VLIX or any Vader/Kenobi DT´s than this one! ...

Loving the IG88 MOC's merlin!!

I really want to pick up an IG88 MOC ESB or ROTJ as long as its C8 ungraded with a clear bubble but its taking a while to find one!

I love those IG88's m8. The miscard Wicket is great too.
Can't wait for #1!!

#1 waiting with anticipation.Dan
