    12" Kenner Empire Strikes Back Prototypes never made....

    I've heard of these prototypes but never actually saw the pic of them before. A Lando would've been cool.

    I noticed this pic in a library book I rented today and thought I'd scan it and share it with my friends here.

    Thanks for posting that--those look pretty cool. I definitely would have gotten the Bespin Luke.

      My understanding is that this Lando prototype was made using a Hardy Boys figures.

        That's a cool flashback - I made a Bespin Luke in 1999 but didn't have the right casting material for his boots, so they degraded over time. I think i used the rest of that brown dress shirt on Hellboy's jacket. =)

          That is correct sir!

          As a big fan of the Kenner large size figures, I've been lusting over the ESB prototypes and box flats for years and years. Gus Lopez's SW collection includes a fantastic display of these dolls with the box flats displayed behind them. Awesome toys that I can never hope to own...

                I'm glad that you provided these scans. I really like the Luke and Leia. Really cool.

                  I guess you could partially blame Parker Stevenson for that.

                        I still dream of some company getting the 8 inch license for SW figures.
