Vintage Figures # 4 - R5-D4 and Power Droid



R5-D4, much like R2 was a figure that I didn't play with often. Yet its a bit worse for wear with a yellowed and slighty torn and faded sticker. Limbs are yellow but still reasonably tight.
Power Droid is in decent condition with paint loss to the rear of its left leg.

Vintage figures #3 - Imperial Stormtrooper




The Imperial Stormtrooper in Hoth Battle Gear aka Snowtrooper.
These two figures have not survived the test of time. Both, especially the one on the right, have yellowed limbs with spots appearing.
Both also sport different stamps to the rear.
I only have one of the capes that they came with. I still have both rifles.

Vintage Figures #2 - 2-1B and FX-7



Both figures remain in very good condition partly because I think I didn't play with these so much as others.
I have 2-1B's tool.

Vintage Figures #1 C-3PO and R2-D2

First post of my vintage Star Wars figures collection.
This is a reference of my own figures which covers their condition, highlighting imperfections and completeness.
Most capes, helmets and weapons I still have with the odd one or two having been misplaced.
Overall, considering what these figures went through when I was a kid, their condition is pretty good.
I'm certain that I still have the card backs for most of my figures somewhere in my collection because I remember being fascinated with the photos on the packaging that I kept them.
I had some figures before I'd seen A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. That's why the photos on the cards interested me.



First up is C-3PO and R2-D2.
Both in reasonable condition. If I recall correctly these were some of the first figures that I was bought. 
R2's stickered details have yellowed considerably but remain intact. 
Both figures still have stiff limbs.3PO's paint is rather good too.
