41. Collecting Prototypes: Bill Lemon - Sculpting Leia Hoth And Kenner Star Wars Figures In Acetate!

You may not know his name, but if you’re a Kenner Star Wars fan or collector, you certainly know his work. Jawa, Death Squad Commander, Leia Hoth, 2-1B, the B-Wing Pilot, Yak Face - these are some of the original figures sculpted by the legendary Bill Lemon. While sculpting in wax was the preferred method for Kenner designers, Bill carved figures from acetate. It took a true master of his craft to be able to do so, and in addition to being admired by his fellow sculptors for his work, his creations are some of the most coveted pieces to Star Wars collectors around the world. Join host David Quinn for a conversation with Gary Borbidge about the life and talent of the famed toy sculptor, Bill Lemon. Gary is an ardent fan and collector of Bill’s sculpts, and co-authored the essential tome “Engineering an Empire: The Creators of Kenner’s Star Wars Toys.” For more information about Bill’s work, as well as a look into the galaxy of Kenner Star Wars toys, please visit The Star Wars Collectors Archive: http://theswca.com/images-production.html To learn more about Engineering an Empire, or to purchase a copy of the book: https://engineeringanempirebook.com/ If you enjoy Star Wars: Prototypes and Production, please leave a review on your podcast platform, and please tell a friend (or twenty)!

40. Collecting Prototypes: An Introduction to Kenner’s Star Wars Action Figure Wax Sculpts

When it comes to collecting vintage Star Wars action figures, the original Kenner wax sculpts are some of the rarest, most desirable and most valuable pieces coveted by collectors. Some of these iconic sculpts likely would fetch more than a million dollars each if they were ever offered up for sale to the public. A wax sculpt is generally the first three-dimensional representation of an action figure, but it is the model responsible for every Chewbacca, every Boba Fett and every other figure in the Star Wars toy universe . And each one sculpted in the 1970s and 1980s was created by a true artist. Join host David Quinn for an introduction into the world of wax sculpts—how they were made, where they fit into the overall process in the creation of a toy, and why they’re so important to collectors. Thank you to Engineering an Empire co-author Stephen Ward, for providing insight into some of the tools Kenner sculptors used, and for sharing a particularly special tool from his collection. Collecting Prototypes is a new series that will explore more than 40 years of modern and vintage Star Wars preproduction pieces from companies like Kenner and Hasbro. It will feature interviews with some of the most knowledgeable and passionate prototype collectors, and will examine the production process of a Star Wars toy as it goes from concept to retail.

33. The Star Wars History Of The Darksaber: From The Clone Wars To The Mandalorian, Part 3!

Sabine Wren has the Darksaber, and is determined to find the next ruler who will unite Mandalore. The Emperor has employed Gar Saxon and his clan to dispose of any Mandalorians who oppose the Empire. And yet, hope lies within that saber's hilt. But Moff Gideon will soon possess it as well. So begins the final episode of the story of the Darksaber. The season one finale of the beloved series The Mandalorian ended with a villain in possession of one of the most legendary and storied lightsabers in the history of Star Wars. But this is no ordinary lightsaber. The Darksaber has its roots among the Mandalorians, the people of the planet Mandalore. Its glowing black blade is unlike anything we've ever seen, and has been passed down to the leaders of Mandalore for generations. But beginning with The Clone Wars, the Darksaber affects the lives of many characters we know and love (and love to hate) in the Star Wars universe in immense and impactful ways. Join host David Quinn for part three of the history of the Darksaber, as he traces the saber's path from its originator, Tarre Vizsla, through the hands of some unexpected possessors, like The Clone Wars' Maul and Rebels' Sabine Wren, and how it eventually wound up in the hands of The Mandalorian's Moff Gideon. The story of the Darksaber is one of the most intense and most exciting Star Wars stories ever told, packed with wild twists, tragedy and hope.

30. Collecting Prototypes: Presentation Boards And Pitching A Star Wars Galaxy At Kenner and Hasbro!

If you were going to pitch an idea for a Star Wars figure, what would it be and where would you start? For the designers at Kenner in the 1970s and 1980s, and at Hasbro in the 1990s and 2000s, the presentation board was the earliest example of pitching an idea and represented what that idea could become. And while many presentation boards are long gone, some have made their way into the hands of vintage and modern Star Wars collectors. And while few have realized the importance of these boards, there is a growing interest in obtaining what may be the earliest representation of a figure we love, or of an idea that was never produced. Join host David Quinn as he examines some of the surviving Kenner presentation boards that span almost a decade of production during the original trilogy, The Power of the Force and the 1985-86 Line Extension Proposal, followed by a discussion about Hasbro's quest to create a new era of Star Wars toys with longtime modern prototype collector and dear friend, Anthony Pagano. During the conversation, Anthony shares his insight into Hasbro's pitch to obtain the master rights to producing Star Wars toys from Lucasfilm; the contents of that pitch and how it led to the Power of the Force 2 line; the figures that were created during those five years of production, and the ones that were never produced; how Hasbro worked in tandem with Lucasfilm for the Episode 1 toy line during the entire production of the film; the presentation boards for The Power of the Jedi Tour in 2001; and finally, why presentation boards suddenly disappeared shortly after the turn of the century. Collecting Prototypes is a new series that will explore more than 40 years of modern and vintage Star Wars preproduction pieces from companies like Kenner and Hasbro. It will feature interviews with some of the most knowledgeable and passionate prototype collectors, and will examine the production process of a Star Wars toy as it goes from concept to retail.

In August, the Georgia Alliance of Star Wars Collectors (GASWC) hosted a virtual collectors convention filled with interviews and panels, game shows and room sales. And Star Wars: Prototypes and Production was invited to present its first live video podcast panel during the event! Continuing the "Collecting During Quarantine" series, the panel was a look at the overall Star Wars collectibles market and at the trends and values during this season. The panel was one of the most popular ones during the Georgia Virtual Social weekend, and with good reason: seven collectors with a vast wealth of knowledge imparted their insight on various sectors of the hobby, forming an all-star presentation! And after the presentation, the group decided to record an updated version as a podcast episode. Working with this team of seven passionate and knowledgeable collectors to put something of this magnitude together was one of the highlights of the year, and we hope you enjoy it, and learn from it too. Join host David Quinn for a look at the vintage Star Wars carded market after Return of the Jedi; Ryan "Humblehorder" K's valuable update on the prices and trends of loose vintage figures; Elling Haug's spectacular overview of the vintage preproduction world; Anthony Pagano's masterful look at modern Star Wars prototypes; Christopher Leddy's exploration of the Ahsoka Tano craze and the impact of The Clone Wars' season seven release; Trent Bailey's in-depth report on two of the hottest sectors in collecting today - The Mandalorian and The Black Series; Jason Wasulko's fascinating dive into the 3.75" figures of The Vintage Collection and the Retro Series; And Clifton Boggs' all-important look on future Hasbro releases, and which ones are worth your time and money! Thank you to Justin Haynie and all of our friends at the Georgia Alliance of Star Wars Collectors for assembling an amazing event and for inviting the podcast to be a part of it.

It would really help to get the word out to our passionate and dedicated community, and it would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance from SW: Prototypes and Production! *note - This conversation was recorded before Hasbro's announcement of the upcoming Carbon Freezing Chamber playset. Once the playset is available to the public, collectors may seek out vintage Bespin figures to add to it in a similar fashion to the way collectors filled out their Sail Barges with ROTJ figures last year. This demand for Bespin figures will likely lead to an increase in prices for "army builders" like Stormtroopers, Bespin Guards, and Ugnaughts, as well as for any of the main characters (Han Bespin, Lando, Chewbacca, Leia Bespin, Vader, Lobot and Boba Fett) who appeared in the scene. -dq To Listen to the Episode on the Prototype Archives Site: https://www.prototypearchives.com/podcast Links to the Episode on Various Podcast Platforms: APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/star-wars-prototypes-and-production/id1448205460 YOUTUBE MUSIC/PODCASTS: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7UruGWpd8qKrObL8-DSLekomB8GuB1VT SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/744L0XQhmpXn2AZeaxUhOZ CASTBOX: https://castbox.fm/channel/Star-Wars%3A-Prototypes-and-Production-id1904296?utm_source=website&utm_medium=dlink&utm_campaign=web_share&utm_content=Star%20Wars%3A%20Prototypes%20and%20Production-CastBox_FM STITCHER: https://www.stitcher.com/show/1054209 PANDORA: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/star-wars-prototypes-and-production/PC:1001054209 PODBEAN: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/u4ywr-80960/ AMAZON MUSIC: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/c98fb265-c233-43d9-ae3b-1102bfb03e45/star-wars-prototypes-and-production PLAYERFM: https://player.fm/series/2473540 SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/david-quinn-908355451/tracks PODVINE: https://podvine.com/podcast/star-wars-prototypes-and-production iHEART: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-star-wars-prototypes-and-p-31050806/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/star-wars-prototypes-and-production/id1448205460

24. How The Quarantine Reignited The Star Wars Collectibles Market!

Part One of the "Collecting During Quarantine" Series: "There goes the Star Wars collectible market..." When COVID-19 first hit the United States in March, many collectors assumed interest the hobby would diminish severely. Instead, prices have skyrocketed and items have sold for record prices. As quickly as they appear on eBay, they are snatched up, sometimes lasting only a few minutes. Collectors are still collecting, and Star Wars is thriving. Join David Quinn as he explores this surprising phenomenon, and offers seven factors responsible for the surge in the Star Wars collecting market over the past three months, as well as three areas of the hobby that are seeing some of the biggest gains.

23. Collecting Prototypes: How A Star Wars Character Becomes An Action Figure!

Have you ever wondered how Kenner and Hasbro turned the Star Wars characters you know and love into the plastic figures you collect? How does an idea become a toy? And if you collect prototypes of these Star Wars vintage and modern figures, what are these pieces you own, and where do they fit in to the production process? What is the difference between a first shot prototype and a hardcopy, and why are some pieces rarer or more valuable? Join host David Quinn for the second episode in the Collecting Prototypes series as he gives a basic overview of how a Star Wars figure is created and produced. Collecting Prototypes is a new series that will explore more than 40 years of modern and vintage Star Wars preproduction pieces from companies like Kenner and Hasbro. It will feature interviews with some of the most knowledgeable and passionate prototype collectors, and will examine the production process of a Star Wars toy as it goes from concept to retail.

21. The Clone Wars: George Lucas, Dave Filoni And A New Era Of Storytelling!

While finishing the final chapter in the Star Wars prequel trilogy in 2004, George Lucas established Lucasfilm Animation with one purpose: to create an animated series using the latest technology. It would tell the story of the Clone Wars, first mentioned by Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker in A New Hope, and would fill in the time gap between Episodes 2 and 3. Join host David Quinn as he explores the series' very beginnings: how Lucas hired key leaders Catherine Winder and Gail Curry, and how he trained Dave Filoni in the ways of Star Wars storytelling. Learn how the creative team found the style that would define the show and how they overcame the challenges that awaited them. The Clone Wars series is one of the most immersive, longest-running stories in Star War's history. With a full-length feature film, more than 120 television episodes totaling over 60 hours, a vast toy line, and a devoted and rapidly growing fan base, The Clone Wars signaled a new era of storytelling for a new generation. If you enjoy the Star Wars: Prototypes and Production podcast, please subscribe on Apple's podcast App and kindly leave a review. The goal is to spread the word about the wonderful, creative aspects of Star Wars, as well as the collecting community, and the joy felt by fans and friends around the world. This is the beginning of the Clone Wars. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

18. A Star Wars Interview with "Return of the Jedi's" Yak Face and J'Quille!

What was it like to be on the set and in the world of Return of the Jedi? Sean Crawford and Tim Dry began their careers as mimes and musicians, playing with some of the most iconic bands during the UK's New Romantics club scene. Their day job consisted of filming scenes in Jabba's Palace and in space with Admiral Ackbar in one of the most famous movies of all time. Sean portrayed the infamous Yak Face, most notable for being the final figure produced by Kenner for the original vintage Star Wars trilogy toy line. Tim was the monstrous J'Quille, known during production as "Tooth Face." And they both played Mon Calamari officers later in the film. But their story is an incredible one, anchored by a friendship that has spanned the length of the Star Wars franchise itself. And now they are stewards of the Star Wars legacy, as they regularly appear at conventions to sign autographs and pose for photos with fans, and to share the stories of their time in a galaxy, far, far away. Join host David Quinn for a conversation with Sean and Tim at Michael Havens' ICCC sci-fi convention in Nashville, Tennessee in September. Sean and Tim offer a funny, candid and heartfelt reflection on their lives together as friends, actors and musicians, and what the Star Wars franchise means to each of them. Modern prototype guru Anthony Pagano surprises Sean with a look at the earliest modern Yak Face preproduction piece, and Sean shares his love for collecting all things Yak Face. Thanks to Anthony "Obi-Wan" Pagano and Jason "TK-Sparrow" Cain for taking part in the interview. And thank you to Michael Havens, for giving Star Wars fans a place to connect with those who lived the movies. And a sincere and joyful thank you to Sean Crawford and Tim Dry for spending almost an hour with us, and for blessing us with a wonderful memory from a weekend in Nashville. Sean and Tim, Tik and Tok, Yak Face and Tooth Face--we are honored to call you friends.

17. Ten Ways "The Force Awakens" Achieved The IMPOSSIBLE in Star Wars!

"Who is Luke Skywalker?" That was the question that Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy posed to director J.J. Abrams, kicking off the latest era of Star Wars storytelling. J.J. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan were tasked with writing the first movie of the trilogy, and for forging the path for the future of the franchise. 2015's "The Force Awakens" was a monumental movie in Star Wars history. It brought back the characters from the original trilogy, and introduced new ones that would be heroes and heroines to a new generation. But continuing the Skywalker Saga was no easy feat. And in addition to walking the finest of lines between nostalgia and a fresh take on a galaxy far, far away, one wrong move could have crippled what Disney CEO Bob Iger called "J.J.'s $4-billion dollar movie." Join host David Quinn for an in-depth look at ten ways "The Force Awakens" achieved the impossible, and paved the way for new Star Wars stories.

02. Star Wars Early Bird Episode 2 - A Princess And A Purpose: Becoming An Action Figure Collector!

How did you become a Star Wars collector? There was a moment for many of us, where we transitioned from playing with our Star Wars action figures as children, to collecting them as teens and young adults. And just as a hologram of Princess Leia set Luke off on a life-changing mission, the 1990s Heir to the Empire novel trilogy imbued a purpose in many Star Wars fans. And part of that mission was to reconnect with the iconic toys that shaped their childhoods. It was a return to the franchise that affected so many in the 1970s and 1980s. Join host David Quinn for an exploration of that transition to becoming a Star Wars action figure collector. Learn what spurred it, and what it was like to discover for the first time the last releases of a beloved Kenner line, years after the figures vanished from toy shelves. Experience the joy of attending a Star Wars-themed toy show for the first time in the 1990s, the moment of holding figures like a Luke Stormtrooper and a Yak Face, and the heartbreak and and crucial lessons learned from an early purchase. This is the continuing story of a Star Wars collector. This is the impact of a princess and a purpose. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
