Flea Market Hunting : Star Wars & Adventure People Star Wars

We got another Wookie!!! We love Wookies. Our Wookies army tribe is slowly growing. Sadly I'm not even aware of just how many were made... hence why we buy all the versions of Chewbacca we can find.


And here's something extremely cool! The original Adventure People Star Wars action figures. No we haven't find them (we wish!). According to Star Wars: 1,000 Collectibles: Memorabilia and Stories from a Galaxy Far, Far Away, a picture like this appeared in an early print ad for Kenner's French affiliate, Meccano. They obviously were concept mock-ups sculpted from Adventure People. No one knows if those prototypes still exist. The figures shown in the photo are actually reproduction "prototype" Star Wars figures crafted by master customizer Nick Macarty.
