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 Biker Scout. The Trilogo card art is much darker than the Kenner version. See the full card art and additional notes by revisiting 1983’s RETURN OF THE JEDI Biker Scout figure HERE.

The Razor Crest is only a very short time away from reaching 13,000 backers, which unlocks the carbonite blocks. And now Hasbro added another two additional unlocks. What could they be? Lights? Another figure, maybe Kuiil? What do you think the two additional unlocks will be? Leave your guess in the comments!
UPDATE: The Razor Crest now has 13,000 backers and the third tier is unlocked. Unlock #4 will probably be revealed later tonight.
Unlock #4 and #5 have been added. What will they be?

The Mandalorian’s Imperial Death Trooper is an excellent figure. And it looks good “carbonized.” (more….)

Today we revisit Ree-Yees. For the Trilogo card art, C-3PO remains hidden behind the figure backer area. He was airbrushed out of the Kenner cart art. See the full card art and additional notes by revisiting 1983’s RETURN OF THE JEDI Ree-Yees figure HERE.

The Mandalorian’s Remnant Stormtrooper is an excellent figure, but what’s up with the Remnant Stormtrooper (Carbonized) update? It looks like a gumball machine toy that should have cost no more than $.25! (more….)

Today we revisit Bib Fortuna. For the Trilogo card art, not many changes exist from the Kenner release other than a different wash. See the full card art and additional notes by revisiting 1983’s RETURN OF THE JEDI Bib Fortuna figure HERE.
