Zuckuss (4-LOM) 1981 - ESB

While Zuckuss and 4-LOM are now quite well-known to fans, their proper names were initially a topic of considerable debate. When Kenner first produced the figures, the names somehow got reversed. But since these two bounty hunters were not identified in the film, the switch was not immediately noticed. When the mix-up was finally caught and corrected in 1989, Zuckuss and 4-LOM finally got their rightful identities.
 
Zuckuss was a male Gand who worked as a bounty hunter during the Galactic Civil War. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Zuckuss, along with Black Krrsantan, IG-90, Dengar, Chanath Cha, Beebox and C-21 Highsinger, was hired by Darth Vader to find and return Doctor Aphra, who had been captured by the Rebel Alliance.
After the Battle of Hoth, he was once again hired by Vader, this time to hunt down the Millennium Falcon and capture her passengers alive. However, the passengers were soon found and captured by the Empire on Cloud City, with help from Boba Fett.

Accessories:

• Zukuss Blaster Rifle
• Soft-goods Cloak
• Breathing Apparatus / Backpack

Every collection has a stormtrooper, (Imperial) Stormtrooper 1978 SW ANH

Originally named Stormtrooper , the name on the card changed to Imperial Stormtrooper for figures released on The Power of the Force card backs.

The head and torso was one mold so the trooper had to move his whole body to look in different directions.

Though all vintage figures have minor variations, the only major variation is the hard to come by Japanese Takara version, which, though in a similar stance, is an entirely different sculpt. It is easiest to spot by looking at the head (See blue image above). Also of interest with the Takara version, is the bolt on the figure's back, see below, not unlike the See-Threepio (C-3PO) or Death Star Droid figures.

Accessories:

• Imperial Blaster

Prune Face (aka Orrimaarko) 1984 ESB

Orrimaarko, known to many as simply Prune Face, was a Dressellian resistance fighter and a key figure in the liberation of his homeworld, Dressel. He was xenophobic, particularly toward Humans, and when the Empire subjugated Dressel around 10 BBY, he and his fellows took up arms and fought back, becoming masters of guerrilla tactics. Aided by their allies, the more technologically sophisticated Bothans, who provided them with advanced weaponry and mercenary training, a Dressellian rebellion was formed with Orrimaarko at its helm, effectively fending off the Empire. They became embroiled in a war lasting over a decade, which mostly occurred at small engagements in the planet's dense forests.

Known as Prune Face for his good looks, he is a noted leader of the Dressellian race.

Rebel Soldier Hoth Battle Gear 1980

The Battle of Hoth was a major battle fought in 3 ABY and was considered a major victory for the Galactic Empire and the single worst battlefield defeat suffered by the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. The battle was an Imperial invasion aimed at destroying the Rebel Alliance's Echo Base hidden on the remote ice world Hoth.

This soldier needed a good clean as it looked as if I had left him in the mud. You can see his paint job around  the legs has deteriorated and has good movement in his limbs.

Accessories:

• Blue Blaster

See-Threepio C-3PO 1978 SW ANH

Date Stamp: 1977
First Wave post Early Bird Certificate Package

C-3PO was a popular figure, he had 5POA and a gold plated finish (in this figure he has a lot of scars and bruises). Kenner used a process of vacuum metalising - a method that applied a thin layer of chrome to a figure - cutting edge technology for the time.

For some reason he is painted black around the midriff 😊, actually he could do with a re-plate.
