Re. Vader with a removable helmet - I have read that the tooling capabilities weren't advanced enough at the time to be able to do this.

Yet they made a Luke in Stormtrooper gear with removable helmet, so there goes that theory.
I just knew somebody would come back at me with that
It was 8 years later though. I suppose they could have done it as the years moved on but chose to release other characters instead. There was nothing wrong with the original Vader and he was always a strong seller.

actually, they did not make tarkin because he was not action oriented enough and they did not think kids would play with him. From what I understand about Vader with a removable helmet it was because they could not produce it without him looking like a pinhead. I agree they did it with Luke in trooper and Leia as Bousch so they should have done Vader.
Weird, at some point I heard that Tarkin was left out due to a rights of likeness issue with Cushing. Maybe they (or I) was just over-thinking it.
Oh yeah, kids would have been grabbing Aunt Beru figures off the store shelves by the handful.Originally Posted by toys2cool
I always wanted them to re-issue Darth Vader with a cloth cape. The vinyl capes kept ripping on me as a kid. I finally dyed a Squidhead cape black and put it on Vader. It looked pretty cool back in 1984.
I remember they made a huge Death Star toy in the 1990s? That opend up to a Tatoine playset. ( Micromachines?)
Anyway it had a creepy spring loaded action. you tripped a lever or something and owen and Berus scorched skeletons popped up.
I made some customs. The original Imperial officer with the new Tarkin head, An original Endor Han Solo with a new Fleet trooper head, and a Walrus Man with the new cantina member head. All repainted of course. I put a shortened vader cape on the Cantina guy.
I remeber the newer Tarkin had a nice sticker on the package that read ' FIRST TIME IN A KENNER COLLECTION"
