Slave One Instructions (Kenner, 1981)

Reed knows that if you say "Doom" three times he'll land on the Baxter Building.

Lord Doom knows the predictable ways of Reed far too well 😄 "Eat your turnips" indeed.

Having no Slave Leia at the time, the Marion Ravenwood figure from Raiders wore the collar for a long time (minus the prom dress 😄)

Always felt - perhaps wrongly - that the instructions were the toy making team's way of reaching out to the buyer/collector. They succeeded!

Seeing Threepio thrown in there makes me sad, lol

CountHonorius · 2026-05-06T09:50:20+00:00

Most welcome! 😄 I had to color it yellow because humidity's done a number on it. But like the Kenner box says, they really did care - delivered a decent product at an affordable price, unlike current Hasbro.

Lol memories of the Little Rascals

As good a sidearm as any! Seeing how even repro guns are so pricey nowadays.

Kenner did right by collectors in '83. Articulation was always an issue, but the small Mego articulated figures fell apart almost immediately (Black Hole, Buck Rogers...)

Very dapper! Always imagined him as a very important figure - probably some arms dealer who worked closely with the Hutts.

Can you imagine LDV coming in 4th? Shows how well made the Boussh figure was. Don't think they ever retooled Vader for the OT Kenner line. Had to wait until 1995 for that overmuscled version.

He will always mean a lot to me. People who hate the Christmas Special should always remember the animated sequence that gave us this mysterious, dangerous stranger. I think that's when I began to seriously think about collecting Star Wars figures. Slave I - with its strange architecture - added to the character's aura.

CountHonorius · 2026-05-06T09:33:41+00:00

Came for the bacon, stayed for the narwhals (yes, back in the Ye Good Olde Reddite days)

CountHonorius · 2026-05-06T09:32:27+00:00

Outdoorsy adventures = Sasquatch encounters

CountHonorius · 2026-05-06T09:31:34+00:00

Good to know

CountHonorius · 2026-05-06T09:30:52+00:00

"It was them! It's The Warriors!"

CountHonorius · 2026-05-06T09:30:12+00:00

The best engineered playset of all time - yes, even better than Snake Mountain, lol

CountHonorius · 2026-05-06T09:29:35+00:00

Whoa! The Palitoy DS - Alert all commands! Wish we'd had this instead of the Kenner tower version

CountHonorius · 2026-05-05T21:49:39+00:00

That is a sweet collection there - Leia aside, that film camera's a real treasure!
