[gtabro1337]

"It's Ben Kenobi and his lightsaber" OLOLOLOL!

[BlytheWorld1972]

@gtabro1337

lmfao lol

[jakfuki]

Ah, proof that Greedo ran first!

[pacificimporters]

lol hey, I'm Jawa, wanna buy some weed?

[appletechsmart2]

walrus man?!?!?

[snakes3425]

So Obi-Wan shot first???? When exactally did Greedo confront Obi-Wan in the movie

[Michael55443]

Even as a kid, I couldn't buy the "Lightsaber" thing sticking out of their arms. A thicker pole with a skinny pole at the top. Yeah, that's how they looked alright. :/

[Christianfaith1]

@gzussturbo And thus the creative genius of George Lucas is revealed...

[UNITEWAD]

1980 God i am getting old! classic ad.

[HitlerOnTheRoof]

Greedo shot first?

[Ultimatepivot14]

Walrus man? WALRUS MAN? WTF IS WALRUS MAN?

[snakes3425]

@Ultimatepivot14

Ponda Baba, the guy who got his arm cut off by Obi-Wan's lightsaber in Episode IV's cantina scene

[Ultimatepivot14]

@snakes3425 I know, but walrus man?

[Cavillier1970]

@Ultimatepivot14 You guys got to remember a couple things: 1st fan bases werent like how they are today, so folks didnt need to know the name of every character, I mean Boba Fett didnt get his name until Return/Jedi. In the 1st run of Empire they called him the bounty hunter. 2nd Kenner didnt expect the explosion the kids caused when the toys first came out. I mean we were on the toys like a pack of dogs on a 3 legged cat. Even though there were toys before, there wasnt anything like this caused

[krecorr]

"Hey Greedo."

"Don't you 'Hey Greedo' me, look, I'm just here for my doobage, Ahab, and I brought my buddy Walrus Man with me."

"Yeah!"

"All right, all right, don't get your space panties in a bunch. I got your money right...here!"

"Holy space junk! It's an old dude with a flashlight! Seriously, Solo, where did you dig up this old fossil? Aggghhh! I've been shot!"

"AAAAAHHH my arm!"

"Word. Nice job Ben."

"Robble robble robble..."

[gumdokim]

''Here's Ben Kenobi and his light saber, we're in trouble let's get out of here!" Epic!

[roguelead72]

So we've got Greedo and Ponda Babba who had all of 30 seconds of screen time as figures, yet after almost 35 years there has still yet to be a carded Wedge Antilles figure what the hell? Maybe I didn't want a pilot 3-pack or a carrying case.

[roguelead72]

@chop11111 I do so I can plug into the back of an X-Wing with a Wedge figure and call it Gate.

[yoorabish]

lol walrus man, how creative

[TamirasEx]

Do kids still play with action figures (of any kind)? Or do they mainly play video games and other tech stuff? I really loved playing with my Star Wars figures and vehicles. And, decades later, I still "collect them all"! 

[unmisfitminor101]

i got R5-D4 and LUKE SKYWALKER (X-WING PILOT)

[TheAustnod]

What the heck? "Walrus man"

[axonn622]

I wonder why the toys in these commercials always have their weapons pointing up?

[Jeffro6769]

OMG...to sound gay...my dad didnt have any money but came home one day with all of these figs for me...Ill never forget it!

[MaxRebo120]

@Jeffro6769 How does that sound homosexual?

[Markerey]

@MaxRebo120 Granted, he didn't say what his dad did to get the money for all of those figures.

[Onyxknight20]

im jawa wanna buy a droid

[barnabascrowe]

Oddly enough? This commercial has better dialouge and acting than Episode I

[doomdoomdoom23]

if i was in this it would sound a lot better since ive seen the movis like 80 times

[flakelorenz02]

I'm disappointed. When I think Walrusman I think Jamie Hyneman from Mythbusters. Wouldn't a figure of him be even cooler? Then you could do your own scale experiments. 

[MegaCrowman]

I had a greedo once but lost it.

[Kaffyboy]

This shit is pure GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!

[duuude4]

Didn't Walrus Man end up bringing balance to the force?

[MASTERLUCERO]

HI im Jawa. 

[thexi44]

hi i am jawa want to buy a driod?

NO FUCK OFF!!!

thats how it should have been done

[Eddie62070]

When Harrison Ford first saw the figure of "himself", he thought they were trying to replace him.

[doctorwhoobawooba]

Lol "Walrusman"..... subtle!

XD

[jksonny]

Some of these figures leave much to be desired, especially in their likenesses, but I still love the 2nd wave of Kenner figures.

[jksonny]

Also, like many collectors, I've always wondered what figures/playsets/vehicles would have comprised a 3rd wave from the first film, Possibilities: Luke Ceremonial, Evazan, Han and Luke Stormtrooper, Tarkin, Tatooine Stormtrooper, Rebel Trooper, TIE Pilot, Sandcrawler Droid, Bo Shek, a Y-Wing, Yavin Base, Blockade Runner, etc.

[DarthEzio]

oh shit greed!!!! its ben-kenobi and his "lightsaber" !! lets get outta here !!

[scenepointnazi]

"Hi, I'm Jawa, Wanna buy a droid?" hahahaha I love how there really hadn't been enough time to Extend the SWU with books and bios yet, so everyone was somewhat generic. If that commercial were made now it would be "Utini utini Utini, utini utini utini utini?" also jawas communicate through smell so a jawa fart could have expressed the same notion quicker.

[lmsypj]

this was back when actuall kids played with action figures. now adays you get 40 year olds playing with them lol.

[Smithfilmproductions]

I have always called Walrusman "butt for a mouth"

[trans8010]

@Smithfilmproductions I called him Assbreath myself

[MaxRebo120]

Hi I'm Jawa. That would be like me saying , Hi I'm Human.

[Oche76]

Walrusman...that's funny...

[keijimuto]

The Empire = like the Nazi Regime, Darth Vader is Hitler.

It may sound totally crazy, but there are certain similiarities when you see the movies.

[sakazaki]

That what G.Lucas had in mind...

[locksmithite]

Yes these ads were from the US. I remember watching them when I was a kid. This was about the same time when the Kenner factories couldn't keep up with the demand for star wars toys and you had to wait 6 months for yours top get mailed.

[jaybo197306]

I still have all my collection in the loft somewhere. Are these ads from the US? dont recall seeing them in the UK

[jksonny]

I'd love to see how Kenner's cantina figures would have looked if they had had more time and better reference photos. I love all the vintage figures but Greedo and Walrus Man, in particular, aren't even close to their film likenesses (outfit-wise). I also wish Kenner had the time for a third SW wave of figures so they could have taken a shot at Evazan, Bo Shek, and a couple of others.

[jksonny]

I'm glad they used the small head version of Han in this commercial. I understand that Kenner thought the head was too small (although I don't agree) but they went waaaaaayyyy overboard with the Elephant Man version.

[IsawaMitaka]

I never could figure out why the original Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot had black hair.

Anyone else here pull off Walrus Man's right arm to re-create the cantina scene? :-)

[jksonny]

Actually, I think the black you see on the figure is the faceplate/eye coverings for the helmet in the "up" position.

[IsawaMitaka]

That would make sense. I never thought of that.

[puchifox]

is not the hair, is the lenses. for an unknow reason kenner painted black.

[ralphwiggumrulz]

luke x-wing pilot. that was the first character i ever got, but it surely wasnt the last....lol. ah the good old days.

[dorani22]

its the time when the true funfull toys for truely creative mind children

[EweTooub]

Han Solo and Ben Kenobi Vs. Greedo and Walrus Man in the classic BATTLE OF THE KITCHEN ISLAND!!!!

[cliffthelightning]

Look out! it's ben kenobi with his lightsaber!! LOL remind that if you encounter a pedofile :P

[crowdedenz87]

I went to a yard sale last weekend and found an original greedo for 20 cents

[LeeAnnOfAlderaan]

Lucky find!

[bobbylee1557]

was it packaged?

[bobbylee1557]

lol walrus man

[tfboyle]

The kid with the red hair probably grew up to be the biggest loser, just a feeling I get; hopefully I am not related to him in any way.

[AVO1993]

im jawa, wanna buy a droid? LOL. i would pay big money to hear a jawa actually say that in the movie.

[uncleroyhoggins]

That Luke Skywalker, had to be one of the ugliest figures ever...he looked like a Fisher Price "Little People" toy...

[1337Lunchbox]

"Yeeaaah."

[neoviper76]

Lmao!!! "Im Jawa...wanna buy a droid??"

[bromide01]

Walrus Man? Walrus Man? Don't they mean Pondo Boaboa or whatever name the stupid expanded universe assigned that character that was in the movie for a grand total of three minutes.

[RobloxLegomania]

I know! I cracked up at that!

[cliffthelightning]

Right you are i hate the new movies too , i hate all those useless jedi crap with whores with penisses extending from their heads and there names are like ooooolapaloola wooldoola ?! like WTF

[RDarth]

Funniest comment in the history of civilization!

[TheJediCharles]

I'm glad Kenner made better toys than commercials.

[English2Elvish]

WOW...

[TheLordVen]

And here's Greedo, Han Solo and Walrus man! Fucking awesome.

[donsarahbanks]

I'm glad that reached a peaceful conclusion.

[Palpatin77]

"It's Ben Kenobi and his Lightsaber! We're in trouble! Let's get out of here!" LMAO that is hilarious!

[XMrStayPuftX]

lol @ fanboy

[Andriaccini]

The writers of this commercial are retarded.

[fronio89]

@Andriaccini LOL
