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).

Salacious Crumb baggies with various minor text variation, noted by Kevin Bletsoe.

Sy Snootles and the Max Rebo band

KADER

Heat sealed / Soft

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

MADE IN THE USA

Heat sealed / Soft

Probot Droid version 1 & the ONLY VERSION I can confirm 100% legit – No Text heat sealed. See FAKES section for the other examples.

Takara wind-up R2-D2

TAKARA

Tape sealed / Crisp

Takara wind up R2-D2 available in counter top display boxes in Japan.

These were issued in a large counter top box (display bin) which can be seen in the “Global promotional items section”, there were also carded examples of this figure offered which I think may have been specific to Canada.

Hoth Wampa, to date I have seen this crop up in 3 baggie types, but can only confirm 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.

Aftermarket Store Made up multi figure baggie

Heat Sealed / soft 

PHOTO COURTESY OF - Andy Raymond.

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.
