I've only ever come across the one I have and know of only two other people with one, one of those being in the UK too. I'm sure there are a few more folks out there with one, it's just not the sort of thing that ever gets highlighted with the exception of threads like this

The person I purchased it said they were sold in the Cinema in Leicestershire when he saw A New Hope, but I'm sure I would have come across more by now if that had been the case?

There's one listed on The Archive , but as a new member I can't post links yet, but do a search and you'll find it

All the best,
Dave

Darth Vader Boxer puppet
We all know Anakin always thought he should be a contender, but his days as a heavyweight boxer are less well known. I am not sure when this boxing puppet (complete with snazzy striped turtleneck) was made or how it was distributed, but I bought it from a collector who stopped buying new pieces in 1996 and I know of one other collector who featured his in a video that dated back at least several years before that.

Description by: Todd Chamberlain
Photo: Todd Chamberlain
From the collection of: Todd Chamberlain
Country: United States
Film: A New Hope
Licensee: Unlicensed
Year: 1977
Category: Toys / Puppets

Is Todd a member on here?

There aren't enough words to express how awesome that Vader Boxer is. Darth Tyson?

Thanks for the info! It's interesting that the SWCA has it listed under U.S. stuff. I wonder if it was actually done here in the US as well, or if that's an error. I also noticed it's a different shirt. Now I have 2 to find.

Those puppets are cool !!!! This is really one of the more oddball pieces in my collection, and also one of the more
functional pieces as well LOL


Bill

That can is cool

"Darth Vader Lives" is such a great line to have on a can of beer.
You should get the image should put onto some stubby holders. Would be a neat little piece to own if you collect that sort of thing.

Did you end up digging anything else up on them? Or get pics of the other colored ones?

I have another Vader collecting friend who specializes in only those oddball items, and he told me
there are also a red and blue label versions. (no pics yet). He said they were sold in 6packs, but
that is as much info as I have on them right now.

Bill

I don't know anything about this , other than it's a pencil sharpener

My Yoda tea from 1983. Unfortunately my example had water damage so the seller (Søren from this forum) had to open it in the bottom, so it could dry. I plan to have an acrylic display case made for it.




Very little information was known about this, it was made by a Danish company called Iversen & Larsen, which no one knows anything about now. Spoke with Danish collectors Henrik Berndt (known as StarWarsDenmark on RS) and he knew it was sold in limited numbers in Copenhagen. Also spoke to a guy named Benny, who was chairman of the official Danish Star Wars fanclub back then, he could tell they tried to get a license for this, but was turned down, so only a few numbers hit the stores. He have an unused bag of this fresh from the factory, would love to get my hands on that one.

I think you should get stubby holders made with the image on them...could be your C6 giveaway. Just make sure I get one if you do

This is a stubby holder if it is called something else over there.
