Star Tots Celebration Diorama
I've been meaning to do this for a long time. Finally got some construction paper and made a simple little scene with the metal figures that were given out at the Star Wars Celebration conventions. I've never been to a convention but over the years, I purchased all the Star Tots sets. This was fun and I plan to do more. I also never realized that the back of the figure had the event or booth who sponsored the specific figure. I guess at the Celebrations, you had to go to specific booths or events to get these individually.

Gentle Giant Jumbo Kenner Star Wars Part 7 - Custom Cantina Playset Background
I always wanted to recreate the Cantina Playset at the 1/6 scale. I took the background artwork from the original Kenner playset and redrew at 1/6 scale. Turned out ok.

Gentle Giant Jumbo Kenner Star Wars Part 6 - Offworld Jawa and 8D8
The Offworld Jawa was a convention exclusive. It's a Jawa, so of course it showed up at my house. The 8D8 figure was an interesting story. He is still on preorder at Gentle Giant and Big Bad Toy Store. Someone got a hold of him, and sold it for well below the retail price. Maybe he or she didn't realize what they had. Anyway, it's a great figure. I remember almost 10 years ago, GG teased us with a Jumbo Jabba.

Gentle Giant Jumbo Kenner Star Wars Part 5 - Luke Skywalker - Yavin Ceremony
I bought this off Ebay for cheap. The seller shipped this large item in a large vinyl envelope. Good thing I open these and throw away the clamshell.

Gentle Giant Jumbo Kenner Star Wars Part 3 - Tarkin and X-Wing Pilot Luke
My next purchase was Grand Moff Tarkin and Luke as an X-Wing Pilot. Tarkin was, of course, not released as an original Kenner figure. And while we already have an X-Wing Luke, this one's helmet comes off. You can find Tarkin pretty cheap. While I purchased this one for a few more bucks, it's the low price of X-Wing Luke bundled together with Tarkin that got me to bid on this lot.
