We’ll have a short hiatus of Visual Guide additions while we prep the next round of updates, but we will be back soon with another run to fill some more holes in our guides!

Our next series of Visual Guide updates focus on the commemorative Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary The Power of the Force 2 [Red] figures. First up is Greedo. Click below to check out the full Visual Guide, and click here to check out our full review.

Hasbro placed the worst figure from the original The Black Series 6-inch line on the worst Star Wars action figure card art. It’s literally a lose-lose situation with the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Greedo figure. Why Hasbro? Why? (more….)

The next wave of Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Figures have been revealed, this time featured on the card back that restarted it all. Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Greedo are all featured on 6″ TBS The Power of the Force “Red” card backs. These will be available to pre-order tomorrow (Friday) at 1 PM Eastern exclusively on both Hasbro Pulse and ShopDisney.

Welcome to another entry in our The Vintage Collection: The Ninety Six column. Hasbro recently committed to collectors that they will be “focusing” on characters in The Vintage Collection that fall under “The Ninety Six” banner. If you’re new to this, it means that there needs a modern counterpart for every classic Kenner figure. Between 2020 and 2021, Hasbro’s made an admirable effort by focusing on these characters. But there is more work to be done, and we’ll figure out where we are step by step. Today we assess Greedo.

Full Story

The Black Series 6″ Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Greedo isn’t accurate to the on-screen character of Greedo, but it’s not accurate to the vintage Kenner Greedo either! (more….)

You saw our The Pathway To The Vintage Collection Special Report published on August 6th. Now we’re revisiting the figures that set The Vintage Collection in motion. Let’s continue moving ahead with 2006’s VTSC Greedo figure in our newly updated review, complete with new text and photos and Visual Guide. This figure will never need to be updated!

In 1984, new packaging for Star Wars figures was introduced for the European market. A cost containment initiative, the new packaging sported three languages of the Return Of The Jedi logo for a “one size fits all” approach. Although a “three-logo” design was created for The Power Of The Force line (as evidenced on some ‘boxed’ toys), it wasn’t carried over to the basic figure line’s card design. They continued to use the three Return Of The Jedi logos instead. Although the word “Trilogo” is found nowhere on the packaging, the term is universally adopted by all Star Wars collectors to describe this line of figures.

Today we revisit Greedo. It didn’t come in standard Trilogo packaging. Instead, it was packaged in what the collecting community deems as “Trilogo Hybrid” packaging. The card front is nearly identical to the Kenner Return Of The Jedi Greedo figure, while the back features the Trilogo logo and figure group shot. You’ll notice that the card art for this version is significantly “darker” than the first STAR WARS version. The review’s Collector Notes are updated with this information. See the full card art and additional notes by revisiting 1979’s STAR WARS Greedo figure HERE.

We’re back to looking at some Action Collection figures. Let’s now check out Greedo. It’s a terrible figure and a straight repack of the prior year’s Collector Series release.

Thank you for making our “Droids And Creatures + Two Main Features” look at the vintage Kenner Series 2 figures (the 20/21-Backs) another success. The stories you’re all sharing in addition to the priceless photos you’re adding to the comments are some of the greatest things we have experienced here to date. Keep them coming! If you need to catch up on any reviews, please click any thumbnail below to be taken to the STAR WARS archive.

As we advertised, June is “Droids And Creatures + Two Main Features” month when it comes to the vintage Kenner figures reviews. It’s just a fancy way of saying that we’re looking at the 20/21-Backs from 1979. Let’s begin with Greedo, which is a personal favorite for MANY collectors. Learn more and enter our Research Droids Reviews and be sure to add your own experiences to the conversation! Reminisce your own childhood stories of this figure in our comments. Share your life-changing vintage Kenner adolescent experiences with us!

May is over and we finished the 12-Back vintage Kenner collection. But June is Droids And Creatures Plus Two Main Features month at Jedi Temple Archives! You guessed it! We will be looking at the 20/21-Backs that augmented an already fantastic Series 1 collection of Kenner Star Wars figures. Come with us as we look at Cantina denizens and droid prisoners in addition to a main hero and cool villain. June is going to be a blast!

Up next from the Star Wars [Saga – Phase I] Walmart exclusive Cantina Bar Section series is Greedo (3 of 3). Get the full Visual Guide below, and read the full review right here.

If you’re a collector of these cute itty bitty’s, then you’ll definitely want to grab this Limited Edition Greedo while you can! Even if you’re not a collector, he’s just so darn adorable I must have him! Also, the Greedo PopMinded Exclusive Ornament on a Vintage Card is out as well!  Thanks to JTA reader and friend Charlie for the tip!

Hasbro produced something that collectors begged for and then those same collectors didn’t buy them. As a result, the second wave was cancelled and the entire set is hard to complete today (some of wave 2 still got out). Let’s finish up the first group by checking out the Greedo Cantina Bar Section Walmart exclusive. It also was only $9.99 but apparently too expensive for the collecting community. It’s the focus of our Research Droids Reviews today. Be sure to leave your own thoughts in our comments section, vote in the poll or even leave comments about it on our Facebook page.
