Star Wars Action Figures!!! From the 70's - 80's





Star Wars Action Figures!!!

I was just thinking how much I loved my old Star Wars action figures.  Stiff and off model as they were… with only five points of articulation…  we sure did have many many intergalactic adventures together.

I just started having fun with some new ink brushes and watercolors Santa brought me... and before I knew it there where like, twenty eighty of these bad boys... yikes!!!

The whole time I was creating these odd little mis-mashed versions of our favorite 70's action figures... I had this quote that I'd read on the Drawn Blog a while ago. 



"" Steig’s drawings seem to flow effortlessly from his mind to his pen and onto the paper. I doubt he ever looked at a blank sheet and thought, “I have nothing worthwhile to say today,” or “I can’t draw a car as well as Joe Shmoe, so why don’t I crawl back into bed and wait for the day to be over.” Steig gave himself permission to be playful and experimental. One of the many wonderful things about looking at his drawings is their message, especially to his fellow artists: Draw what you love and what interests you. Draw it how you want to draw it. When we are children we do this instinctively. But somewhere in our passage from childhood to adulthood, the ability to be truly and fearlessly creative is often lost. To quote Pablo Picasso, Steig’s favorite artist, “All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”  ""


I had little rules that popped up too.  No reference except this blurry little jpg with zero resolution i printed out... this forced me to fill in the details from memories.  No redraws even if the proportions or whatever where off... this forced it not to turn into any think like "work".  Bleh.  Work.


I feel like I succeeded with these little star wars guys...  it delighted me.  I want to make more art like this, art that is just fun, pure fun.

Princess Leia and Lord Vader

*



I thought about putting in a word balloon on this one... but I couldn't choose one...

"You are part of the rebel alliance and a traitor, TAKE HER AWAY!!!"

"Darth Vader, only you could be so bold. The imperial Senate will not sit still for this. When they hear you attacked a councilors ship on a diplomatic mission..."
(nah, too many words won't fit in a word balloon.)

I'm writing these from memory, may be inaccurate... how bout:

"Your not going out like that young lady. You march right back up there and put a bra on!!! TAKE HER AWAY!!!"

Really truly though folks... Carrie Fisher said that George said there are no bras in space and she was just walking around tapped up the ENTIRE movie. Also there was digital nipple removal.

Do you think George Lucas knew that Vader was Leia's father when he filmed this? I don't.

Any body else have any funny captions???

I guess this was Star Wars week... :) If I knew that before I started posting these I would have announced it as such or something... ^_^

May the force be with you.

Aayla Secura

*



Hurray for Aayla Secura!!! She combines beauty, brains, brawn and blue into one of the coolest Jedi to ever fight in the Clone Wars.

Am I the only one who wonders if she's really Smurfette?

I don't see her showing up in Star Wars continuity after Episode 3. The last time we see her she's being gunned down by like twenty Clone Troopers. But she's one character I wouldn't mind seeing resurrected. Certainly more deserving than some.

So, for now at least she's in Clone Wars rocking a french accent. Or at least a space french accent.

Princess "Slave" Leia

*




When I was eight years old I saw Return of the Jedi in Billings Montana. It made a big impression on me. How could you not love Carrie Fisher in that outfit. Wow!

The metal bikini isn't exclusive to Jedi, not by a long shot. It's been a mainstay in sci-fi 4-EVAH, just check out any Frazzetta painting or Dejah Thoris the Princess of Mars or even old Flash Gordon comics. It's been around for a hundred years and here's hoping it will be around for a hundred more.
