Hi everyone, this is my current focus - I'm working on completing a set of all Vintage Collection Figures (Hasbro missed quite a few if you compare them to Kenner's original vintage lineup). I had quite a few of those as a kid, so these are really special to me.
The figures I'm using are "neo" figures from Hasbro's current 3,75" line. Most of these have been mixed, customized and repainted using acrylic colours. Before, I was using reproduction cardbacks, but I've since started designing and producing my own cardbacks. I'm trying to use new (and/or updated) pictures for these, as the Vintage Collection often uses better pics of a high(er) quality - and I do not want to produce "repros" myself, but new stuff....
There were 96 figures total in the original Kenner line (not counting re-releases of figures on later cards), 17 of those on the later POTF cards.
Hasbro released several figures in their Vintage Collection line (VOTC / VTSC / TVC), but I've taken some liberties in deciding which are replacements and which are still missing (e.g. there are 3 Stormtroopers in Hasbro's collection...but for me the "real" Stormtrooper - the one that counts - is the first one on the "Star Wars" cardback...and that wasn't produced again). Here's a list of the figures I'm planning to do....completed figures have been marked green and the numbers are from an overview poster of Kenner's vintage lineup:
