    Star Wars in Japan



    I recently found a 1978 copy of Starlog magazine from Japan, I find it adorable how little Star Wars merchandise there is but this is very, very early in the game.

    Of particular note is the infamous "Archive Minatures" which I've never actually seen before. These little figures (called "dolls" in the ad) were cranked out super quick but Lucas very quickly unleashed "Darth CeaseandDesist".




    Yup, for a very short time if you like Star Wars and figures this was the only game in town. They're kind of charming to be honest...For more Fashion Mockery and 70's toy love visit us at Plaid Stallions.com

    Is that a Darth Vader business card?

      Glorious! "Dolls" LOL. They look like pewter figurines. Weird to see the Wonder Bread trading cards there. It's like a Captain's Company page for Japan.
