When Kenner Star Wars Returned in 1995

When Kenner returned with Star Wars in 1995, I immediately pulled out my vintage ones and displayed the new ones. This was my entire collection at the time.

    I love seeing older photos featuring people's collections from certain time periods. Do you still have that giant Yoda?

      I don't. The latex eventually dried up and it cracked. His head actually fell off at the end. I kept him in my office at work for a long time. He was often kidnapped and ransomed by employees.

    I have some pictures of me from 1995 and 1996 (in 6th grade) with my POTF2 figures and the few vintage Star Wars items I had at the time as well. I took the pictures thinking I'd probably send them in to Star wars Galaxy magazine or something, but never did.

      Awesome. You should post them. I wish I would have taken more photos back in the day but that meant dropping off 35mm film at the store.

    I remember being so excited there were new Star Wars toys and at the same time wondering why they were all on steroids.

      Yep. I didn't even care at first. It was so great to have new figures. At the time, I didn't fathom that they would make figures of characters other than the original 93. Wait? What? They're doing Tarkin, Slave Leia, Dagobah Luke! Mind blown.

      That my friend, is a 286. It was issued to us my freshmen year in college in August of 1989. Shortly after taking this picture, I tried to sell the computer at a pawn shop near Fort Benning. The guy laughed me out of the store. At the time, I really didn't know how fast computers became obsolete.

      Thanks! Still can't believe I purchased that back in the day. I have pictures of friends putting beer bottles in his hands when we had parties.
