Stormtrooper Blaster Baggie
KADER
Twin heat sealed / soft
This is one that came in the early issued SW-b & D baggies with the Stormtrooper (see Stormtrooper baggies) & this is one from a damaged baggie, the blaster is a slightly translucent M7 Kader.
It has now been confirmed these have also been found in the earliest issued ESB era baggies (ESB-a 1st issue).

– Hoth Rebel Rifle
– AT-AT Driver Rifle
Would have come from a Survival Kit mail away promotion mailer box.
Made in Hong Kong Black font. Would have come with the Jabbas play-set, but many full overstock shipping cases of them have also been found.
Photo of 3 Salacious Crumb baggie with various minor text variation, noted & photos by Kevin Bletsoe. It’s been confirmed there are 8 minor variations on crumb baggies.
Thanks to Stephen Tzaras, I can confirm there are at least 8 different Salacious Crumb figure variations all known in baggies, they are numbered on the back of the neck from 1 to 8 & do have minor variations in paint colour & application, image of one number 3 shown above as an example.
Trilogo no-text baggie.
These were included in the boxed version of the band (U.K & Europe) the U.S issued sets came in blister packs without baggies.
All three figures & the piano bag inside, I found it quite odd that the large outer baggie sports the Black Made in Hong Kong font, whereas the inner baggies are all no text. PHOTO COURTESY OF – Kevin Bletsoe
Probot Droid version 1 & the ONLY VERSION I can confirm 100% legit – No Text heat sealed. See FAKES section for the other examples.
Hoth Wampa. To date I have seen this crop up in 3 baggie types, but I can only speculate one as legit so far. That being the one with text MADE IN HONG KONG photo taken from an eBay listing. Then these other examples below provided by Kevin Bletsoe. This baggie does not have it’s own classification as it’s item specific & in all honesty I still have reservations on it’s authenticity. It could be a Rebo band large baggie from the Tri-logo set? Just not much known about these in all honesty.
What is speculated to be spray mask test sample Hoth Wampas.
1. no paint at all on eyes mouth hands claws
2. left hand painted, right palm and claws no paint

5. both palms and claws unpainted
6. both palms painted, no claws painted
7. no claws painted,flat matt eyes , uneven eye paint

12. dark brown painted claws

15. light pink/peach coloured claws
16. dark grey matte eyes & mouth /unpainted claws & palms
Aftermarket Store Made up multi figure baggie technically not an official release as the title would suggest, this kind of pack was made up by some stores to try to move dead stock that was not selling at the end of the toy line, much like the Woolies 8 packs, but made up in store, an interesting item all the same IMO & worthy of inclusion.
Below are a few examples of baggies that were included within vehicles / Play-sets & other issued items, it’s quite mad just how deep the hole goes with baggies & what they were used for.
Dagobah play-set Yoda back pack baggie. This seems to be the same as the Kenner survival kit & AT-AT accessories baggies.
Inflatable lightsaber repair kit baggie. The baggie being very specific & not found with any other items (That we know of), no designation.
X-Wing cannon baggie. Very similar to the ESB-h baggie type.
Electric Toothbrush replacement heads. In a baggie with the same font type as the SW-c baggies Kenner & GM Logo.
Twin Pod Cloud Car canopies. No text with twin heat seals, very much like the if not the same as the ESB-j type baggies.
C-3P0 bulk bag 25 count. Several of these turned up a few years ago & it is not clear how these originated or for what purpose, if they are bagged up like this by Kenner or done aftermarket, I think there were 5 available in total, I would assume they are from the 200 count shipping cases & re-bagged into smaller quantities for sale, obviously that’s only an assumption & we will likely ever know more, but an interesting item.
