New Star Wars Action Figure in the Shop: Han Solo in Hoth Gear!

1995 Power of the Force Han Solo in Hoth Gear.

Just listed in the shop--this 1995 Power of the Force Han Solo action figure. From the "Empire Strikes Back", this particular figure was one of my favorites from the 1990's Kenner re-release. Complete with his original accessories and dressed to the nines in his Hoth gear parka, Mr. Solo is ready for some cold weather action.

New Action Figure in the Shop: 1983 GI Joe Destro!

Fans of the classic, 1980's "GI Joe" animated series will surely be delighted to see that a new action figure has landed at Half Pint Salvage. Meet the double-crossing, slightly maniacal Cobra head honcho, Destro!

1983 Destro action figure.

With his shiny, domed head and vintage-style pistol, Destro was perhaps the coolest Cobra figure to emerge from the '83 Hasbro line. Maybe it was the mystery surrounding his appearance. Or perhaps it was his cartoonish, evil voice.

An overhead view of Destro's dome. Shiny indeed!

Whatever the reason, Destro was a certified bad-ass action figure. And now he's back in action after a 20+ year hiatus. Additional pics and condition details in my Etsy listing.

Proof that Destro was an enemy weapons supplier: his file card!

I Pity The Fool! Mr. T: A Look Back.

If you grew up in the 80's, Mr. T was a pop culture god. With his mohawk, gold jewelry and hulking muscles, what wasn't to like? Throw in the gravely voice and the trademark catch phrases, and he basically became a living legend.

Mr. T, I don't pity you. I salute you. Thanks for being awesome.

Star Wars Spotlight: Boba Fett

As a kid, I can remember seeing "Return of the Jedi" in the movie theater. Unfortunately, that utterly amazing experience also reminds me of the mental anguish I suffered when Boba Fett met his apparent demise in the belly of the Sarlacc Pit. Questions filled my 7-year old head. How could such a cool character die this way? Will he escape? Should I eat my peanut or chocolate M&M's first...?

Fast forward 12 years and Boba Fett lives yet again. Meet the 1995 Power of the Force version of Mr. Fett, in all his glory--complete with his wookie scalps, cape and blaster:
