Wookiee Cutter

Wookiee boobs are just plain wrong AND also un-plain wrong

Around the time preceding the broadcast of the [Star Wars] Holiday Special, Kenner had in mind a line of toy tie-ins based on characters from the show. It was probably assumed that the Special would be much more successful than it was, and that kids would be clamoring for new toys from the TV show. In the end, Kenner wound up scrapping the whole thing, either because the show was a disappointment, or (according to a Tomart’s Action Figure Digest article) because the selling window was too small

However, at least a couple of items did make it to the drawing board or prototype stage – a complete set of the Chewbacca family action figures. Chewbacca was the standard Kenner figure, and the prototypes for Itchy and Malla were created by altering two more standard Chewbacca figures. The smaller figure of Lumpy was actually built around a Fisher Price family action figure, whose distinctive bent elbow pose can be seen in the photos.

In the end, Kenner technically produced no specifically Holiday Special-related products

Less Eisley

Welcome to Star Warsaw, a website devoted to vintage Polish bootlegs of American Star Wars figures from the oldest Kenner series. I collected them as a child, now seriously rebuilt my collection. Only three figures presented here come from my original set, the rest is gathered during last three years.

As for now this is the third biggest collection of Polish bootlegs in the world

Polish bootlegs were produced in several waves and series during the 80’s, with one series continued until about 2000. There were 34 characters in 60 different shapes with hundreds of color variants. That makes the Polish bootlegs the most interesting group for collectors and Star Wars lovers. That makes me proud to be a Pole :)
