EDIT: Two of them, the Stormtrooper and R2, are UNPUNCHED. This is the centerpiece of my collection now to say the least. The 6 figures include R2, Luke, Han, Leia, 3-PO and a Stormtrooper. I had a Jawa previously, which means I'll probably have to get the other 5 now. Vader, Chewie, Obi-Wan, Sand People, or DS Cmdr. Darby Harn is the author of.

http://darby-harn.blogspot.com/2012/07/revision-revisited.html

The Doors and Ways: The Bastard Genre
http://darby-harn.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-bastard-genre.html
The Doors and Ways. Darby Harn. Eventually. The Book of Elizabeth Excerpt. Thursday, August 02, 2012. Turns out modern sci-fi owes nearly everything to a bastard. The surprise here isn't that most of the most famous tropes in science fiction owe themselves to a single work - hello, Star Wars - but that they originated from a book that was essentially fan fiction. Garret P. Serviss. The War of the Worlds. Edison's Conquest of Mars. Called "air-tight suits": see Spacesuits in fiction. Why is that important?
