Disney Star Wars Diecast Figures - Rose, Captain Phasma, Jyn Erso
Took these photos before selling these off (except Jyn). Actually, I donated them to Good Will. Couldn't sell them. Pretty cool but very heavy.

Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Wave 20 - Amidala, Mace, Holdo, Mimban Han and Dryden Voss
Another stellar wave from Hasbro. Please maintain this standard. Started with Wave 19 and this brings a great variety figures which collectors have desperately wanted. I found all of these at Target. It's been a long time since I managed to find a nearly whole new set out in the wild. The only figure I didn't find was the Battle Droid.
Prequel figures include an awesome Senator Amidala (happy that she doesn't have the torn costume), Mace Windu and the Battle Droid.
Solo Story includes Mimban Han in Mudtrooper Uniform and villain Dryden Voss. Happy they did Voss as he has not been done in 3-3/4 inch scale.
Finally, the sequel trilogy's Vice Admiral Holdo. Lot of controversy around her character though most agree Laura Dern is an awesome actress.
A nice mix. Keep it up Hasbro.

Star Wars - The Last Jedi - Vintage Collection - Rey's Island Journey
Finally managed to snag the Entertainment Earth exclusive Rey's Island Journey vintage carded figure. I am definitely one of those collectors that fall for anything in the vintage black and silver Kenner Star Wars packaging.
Along with Rey is the Luke and Snoke (also known as creepy old man in smoking robe) figures in their vintage packaging.

Star Wars Figures: Then and Now Comparison
I'm not sure what I was trying to accomplish when I started this. I guess I was trying to see if there was a change in design or character type distribution when comparing Kenner's original vintage figures to Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.
One thing that made the original vintage Star Wars figures so much fun was the diversity in characters - you had humans, good and evil, military, droids and aliens. The aliens were a huge hit because they were so different. Also, from movie to movie, the main characters changed their outfits. This is one thing that frustrated me from Force Awakens to The Last Jedi.
I did not include the Prequel Trilogies. Don't know where to start. May add Solo Story and Rogue One later. I really liked the design and characters in both those movies. Maybe next time.
So let's take a quick trip down Star Wars figure memory lane.
Four exclusives that came with ships or Force Link garbage. I forgot to add the original Snoke that came with the $200 BB8 playset.
Like I said - not sure what I was trying to accomplish, other than to figure out why Last Jedi figures are rotting on the pegs. In the mid 80s, Kenner figures were rotting on the pegs, but certainly not a month after the movies. I am not a fan of The Last Jedi at all but won't go into details. I did like Force Awakens, but definitely think it was a carbon copy of A New Hope.

The Early Bird Set
The First Wave of the Original 12
The Original 12
Wave 1 and Wave 2
Check out all those cool and colorful aliens!
And more robots!
And a secret bounty hunter! (Forgot to photograph him separately)
The first Secret mail a way offer for the upcoming Empire Strikes Back. Bossk - the Bounty Hunter.
First Wave of Empire Strikes Back - I forgot the Rebel Hoth Trooper
Compare the main characters in different costumes or armor.
Wave 2 - Empire Strikes Back - forgot to add Rebel Hoth Commander
Comparing A New Hope with Empire Strikes Back
Adding Wave 3 - Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope vs Wave 1 - Return of the Jedi
Lots of cool aliens from Jabba's Palace
Oops! The full set of Wave 1
A New Hope vs Return of the Jedi
Lots of Ewoks
A New Hope and Power of the Force
A New Hope vs The Force Awakens - Wave 1
A New Hope vs The Force Awakens Wave 1 and 2 (roughly - don't have a perfect list)
Figures and playsets that were cut from the movie.
How do they compare?
A New Hope vs All of Force Awakens
The most frustrating thing between Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Main characters in basically the same outfits. Wait, Finn now has a white shirt.
A New Hope vs The Last Jedi
Force Awakens and The Last Jedi had decent numbers. What went wrong?
Four exclusives that came with ships or Force Link garbage. I forgot to add the original Snoke that came with the $200 BB8 playset.
Cool pilot outfits and cool characters.
