When the Jedi Return: Make sure your troops are ready

[RSS]

I love this neat British Ad for Palitoy UK, who were pretty confident they were going to sell football fields full of Star Wars toys (psssst they did).

I'm especially smitten with these drawings of the figures which are there because the ad was placed so far in advance of the film.

nice with the stormtrooper on the speeder bike

good stuff. I would have stared at that page for days. I can recall the first time I saw RoJ toys on the racks a Mervyn's. The movie wasn't due out for quite a bit and I was gobsmacked by the biker scout and royal guard figures. I always have been a sucker for the armored imperials.

The figure artwork is fantastic.

I did notice they have the fins upside down on the Speeder bike proto.

I have those 2 video games. They're for the Atari 2600. Jedi Arena is played w/ paddle controllers, and ROTJ is played w/ joysticks.

Awesome ad. Cool artwork.
Emperor's Royal Guard without his outer cloak, too.

I'm surprised this isn't called Revenge of the Jedi since it obviously with well in advance of the movie.
