What Star Wars figure or collectible did you always want as a child, but were only able to get hold of as an adult collector? I had a few POTF figures that I missed out on in the ’80s, including this stormtrooper disguise Luke, which I picked up a decade or so ago now. Always thought additional accessories like removable helmets or additional weapons doubled up on the playability of the frequently minimalistic mini-action figure line.

Luke Skywalker, Stormtrooper Disguise was, of course, one of the late releases in the Kenner POTF line (i.e., a “last 17” character), before Star Wars action figure were discontinued in the 1980s. Not immensely accurate in terms of sculpting, as was par for the course at the time, but part of their charm was the gap between their physical form and the play scenarios that you filled with your imagination.

This is my original Kenner large-sized 15″ Darth Vader action figure that I purchased in 1980. Despite his mere five points of articulation and generic flashlight-style saber hilt, I always thought this was a great sculpt for a toy of that era. His shoulders sit secured by a rubber band in actual sockets, making for very tidy joints, and his helmet dome is cast separately from his faceplate which allows for sharp sculpted features. I don’t know at what point 10-year-old me took scissors to the box he came in, but at least I still have most of the Dark Lord’s original packaging in a flattened form too.

The vintage Yoda mini-action figure by Kenner came with the most accessories of any from the mini-action figure line – including a removable belt (which actually includes his necklace “flute” pendant attached to it, along with a pouch and what is assumed to be the camping lamp he battles R2-D2 for), snake, cane, and removable robe. Yoda came out in the first Empire Strikes Back wave of 1980.

This is the actual figure from my childhood collection. I used to photograph him in the long grass or garden to simulate a Dagobah landscape… alas, none of those physical photos survived.
