Obi-Wan Kenobi Action Figure Unboxing

Does anything remain to be said about this character? I doubt it.

Obi-Wan Kenobi action figure.
Obi-Wan Kenobi - Author's Collection

The action figure is described as the "wandering Jedi." The figure comes with an (uncivilized) blaster and a blue light saber. I got it very cheap (less than $10) on Amazon.com.

Chewbacca Action Figure

Chewbacca
Chewbacca

I don't have a 3.75 scale version of Chewbacca, but I remember that my brother had one when we were young. I'm still shopping around for one. We called him "Chewie." Every time we played, my brother pretended to be Chewbacca. He also liked to pretend that he was Ookla from Thundarr the Barbarian. Chewbacca was a mysterious character to us. We didn't learn anything about his backstory until the new movies were released, years after the original trilogy.

The picture shows an odd version of Chewbacca. It cost about $14 at Walmart. I got it this past Saturday. Their web page states, in part, about this product:

"MixMashers Star Wars Chewbacca Toy, 5” (12 cm) Mix-&-Match Action Figure, 4+. Kids can pull apart, mix, and mash Star Wars toys to create customized figures. Millions of ways to mix interchangeable parts encourage hours of imaginative play. Comes with a Boba Fett flame thrower gauntlet, bandolier, and E-11 blaster accessories. 5-inch-scale figures with 16 connection points for compatibility across the entire line."

One Wiki states: Scheming, powerful, and evil to the core, Emperor Palpatine restored the Sith and destroyed the Jedi Order. The Emperor's real name was Sheev Palpatine. As the lord of the Sith, he was known as Darth Sidious. He ruled the Galactic Empire, along with his enforcer, Darth Vader.

What if the Borg did invade the Star Wars universe? That is the subject of this interesting video. It's a long video. It is about one hour and 24 minutes long.

R2-D2 Action Figure

R2-D2
R2-D2 - Author's Collection

R2-D2 (male droid) or Artoo-Detoo is probably the most well-known astromech droid in the Star Wars franchise. He appears in all of the theatrical releases except for Solo: A Star Wars Story. While many persons and actors are associated in some way with the droid, the "GOAT" individual associated with him is the late actor Kenny Baker.

AT-AT at Hoth

An AT-AT Walker at the Battle of Hoth

I've always loved Imperial Walkers, especially how they're depicted at the Battle of Hoth. I have a large AT-AT that I got for Christmas in 2024. It's the part of my modest-size collection

Star Wars AT-TE

AT-TE
AT-TE - Author's Collection

This is one of the first things that I bought when I started collecting Star Wars merchandise. If I'm not mistaken, one of these walkers can be seen just before Jedi Aayla Secura was killed by her clones during Order 66.

The All-Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE), nicknamed "six legs" by the Separatist Droid Army, was a multipurpose military ground walker and tank used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. It had six legs, six laser cannon turrets along the body and a heavy projectile mass-driver cannon on the top of the walker. It was one of the main ground vehicles for the Grand Army of the Republic throughout the Clone Wars. Source: Star Wars Fandom.

The set has some miniature action figures with it. It has Captain Rex, Clone Pilots, and Clone Troopers.

Republic Gunship

Republic Gunship
Republic Gunship - Author's Collection

The Hot Wheels Republic Gunship shown above is labelled "12." On the back, it depicts Jango Fett's starship (which used to be called "Slave 1"), a snow speeder, and a Star Destroyer. If these constitute a complete set, then I still need to obtain a snow speeder.

"The Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry (LAAT/i), also referred to as the Republic Gunship, Republic attack gunship, Assault Gunship or LAATi,[2] and nicknamed a larty,[15] was one of the several models in the Low Altitude Assault Transport line of starships that mainly served as gunships and troop transports for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Its role was to transport clone troopers as well as offering air-to-ground and air-to-air support for the Galactic Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The LAAT/i gunship saw extensive use in numerous battles and campaigns of the Clone Wars. During the Imperial Era, the ships continued to see use by various factions, including both the Galactic Empire and Alliance to Restore the Republic."
