Star Wars Toys: Concept Drawings and Prototypes

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the my-x-wing-was-more-like-a-v-wing dept.

Ant sent us a seriously cool site that has tons of unproduced and concept star wars toys that never made it to market. These range from all over the place (coin books?) to prototype dolls with ken or barbie parts and clothing. I was just thinking a few days ago about my old star wars collection: a millenium falcon, an x-wing, a boba fett, a darth vader. Strangely all of them were broken garage sale items. But if I built a lego fortress for them to battle it was all good.

    A long time ago in a galaxy far far away,
    a small band of rebels produce a small,
    but interesting website.
    They mistakenly tell their friends that they would enjoy the pictures of
    {star wars crap | exploding computers | home made missiles | robotic square dancers},
    never expecting wind of the site to attract the interest of The Evil Empire.
    Anyway, who cares about that moon out there -

    Wait! That's no moon, and now you will feel the power of this fully operational ball of perl and MySQL.

    Hobbyists beware: hide on your ice planets, we will find and destroy you.

    Well, the site's being slashdotted to hell... I caught this yesterday (on memepool, which was already slowing the site down) and mirrored one of the more interesting things, a trading card peek at the 'yoda religion' that Lucas put the smack down on (and rightfully so)-- you can see the card here, along with direct links to some of the coolest things on the site. (like Atha Prime (slashdotted), possibly the first idea for a post-ROTJ storyline badguy, and this unreleased minirig (also slashdotted) clipon for the Falcon. And some other non-slashdotted, extended Star-Wars-iverse links as well. )

    Joke leads to anger. Anger Leads to hate. Hate leads to suing.

    I was expecting a Ronald Reagan action figure. Hey, with our current president, we may see a sequel.
