    Bespin Luke... I remember being so excited that the lightsaber was proper scale and removable, and that he had both a blaster and a lightsaber. I think it was the first figure to come with two accessories, if I recall it hit shelves prior to Yoda.

    It was really such an improvement over Farmboy Luke, which I love because it's iconic, but was always a bit frustrating as a kid.

    Yup same here for pretty much the same reasons.

    Yoda was a favorite too, he was just to darned cute.

      Hammerhead was my early favorite. I had a rock band with my SW figures that I modeled after KISS. Chewy played drums, Stormtrooper and Tuskin Raider were on guitars, and Hammerhead was on the bass. The second wave certainly was an awesome time in my youth to play with and collect. They really brought the feeling of a galaxy far, far away.

        I mean, they went so far off the rails with the colors and liberties taken with those characters in such a weird, wonderful way. They never returned to that garish color style, and I'm sort of sad for it.

        None of the Empire or Jedi aliens were as crazy as Orange and Blue Walrus Man or bright green Greedo. I love fan customs of Cantina Aliens we never got, but all too often, they go for Hasbro color schemes instead of the lurid Kenner colors.
        I vaguely recall reading that Kenner only had a few black and white face shots of the aliens and so had to improvise for the costumes. that is also why the early release blue Snaggletooth, was changed, to the short version. because in the photos they had, they did not have scale for the alien
