Action Figure Number 10, 11 & 12

Well, it's that time of the month where I add a new classic Kenner action figure to my collection. This months figure is actually THREE figures! Why three? Because I had so much fun getting three last month, that I decided to do it again! So, what did I get? Well, listen to the episode to find out!

A big thank you to Vic Cuzzupe who sold me the figure this month.  And a big apology to Vic as well.  As you will hear, I completely forgot his name as I was recording the episode.  Vic, I am very sorry!

And as always, when I open a new classic Kenner action figure, there is a video version of the episode as well!

Figures Wanted!

Hey there! I am over due for my monthly Kenner Action Figure. As long time listeners will know, I am not a toy collector, but I am slowly collecting all the original vintage Kenner action figures. I try to get one a month. Anyway, I need one for this month.

 So, if you have a loose, clean, near mint figure with its accessories I'd like to buy it for a fair price. But here's the thing... I don't want you to tell me what the figure is before you sell it to me! Just send it to me, so I can unwrap it live on the show like it's Christmas Morning 1979! As long as it's a figure I do not already have it's cool! 

Here are the figures I already have...
 2-1B Medical Droid
C-3PO
AT-AT Driver
Hammerhead
Imperial Royal Guard
Logray
Luke Skywalker in Hoth Gear
Lobot
Walrus Man

 So, if you have a figure you'd be willing to sell me, please let me know in the comments below. Thank you!

Action Figure Number Seven, Eight & Nine

Well, it's that time of the month where I add a new classic Kenner action figure to my collection.  This months figure is actually THREE figures!  Why three?  Listen to the episode to find out.  So, what did I get? Well, listen to the episode to find out!

Thank you to Adam for the new figgiest.  Please check out Adam's awesome toy photography on Instagram.  He can be found @Mandalorian40.

So, here are figures I already have (not including what I opened up on today's episode, because I don't want to give away the surprise!)

• Lobot
• Hammerhead
• Emperor's Royal Guard
• 2-1B Medial Droid
• Luke Skywalker (Hoth Battle Gear)
• AT-AT Pilot

If you have a figure I do not have already, and want to send it my way, please contact me.  Email me at TwelveParsecsPodcast@gmail.com.  I am looking for loose figures, in near mint condition, with their accessories.  I am willing to pay a fair price, but I won't say no to freebies either! :-) And please, don't tell me what you have, I want to be surprised when I open the package!

Action Figure Number Six

Well, I THOUGHT I was going to have some more time for LT12P after Rogue One came out, but my free time was taken up by OTHER peoples podcasts!  This past week I've been lucky enough to be invited onto Hot Wampa, The Star Wars Talk Show, and I was brought back to my old stomping grounds, The Expanded Fandomverse.  Please, check them all out!

But, back to the fun that is Less Than 12 Parsecs.  This episode is my monthly classic Kenner Star Wars action figure unboxing.  This months figure comes from listener Ryan Dassing.  Ryan was kind enough to send me a figure for free!  As I say, I'm not asking for free figures, I am willing to pay a fair price, but I wont say no to a free figure.

After Ryan sent me the figure, before I opened it, I asked him onto the show.  You can here his appearances on episode 37 and 38!

Action Figure Number Five

As long time listeners will know, once a month I purchase a classic Kenner Star Wars action figure.  Well, it's time to unbox this month's figure!  I go in blind, purchasing figs from friends who know what I have, but I dont know what I've purchased until I open the box.

This month's figure comes from Jason Collier, my old pal from The Expanded Fandomverse Podcast.  He also sent me the first two toys in my collection.  Have listen, or watch the video version, to see what he sent me this time around!  And, be sure to check out his shows as well!

NOTE: The audio on this episode is a little "off".  I don't believe that my microphone was plugged in all the way, so the the built in iPad mic was recording the audio, thus it's a little weak.  Sorry about that, and thank you for bearing with me!

And don't forget, you have just 44 days to enter our end of the year Star Wars merchandise giveaway contest! Please see episode 30 for all the details! - http://twelveparsecspodcast.blogspot.com/2016/11/giveaway-contest-time.html

Action Figure Number Four

 It's a new month, and that means it's time for a new classic Kenner Star Wars action figure!

This months action figure comes from Alan Voivod, the force behind Star Wars 7 x 7,  the only daily Star Wars podcast!

Remember, if you have a figure you would like to add to my collection, let me know! Email me at TwelveParsecsPodcast@gmail.com,  or connect with me on any of my social media links. I will pay a fair price for loose, clean figures with all their accessories. But that said, I won't turn down a freebie!

And remember, anyone who has a figure to my collection, gets to be a guest on the show!  How exciting is that!

 

Video of the unboxing!

Action Figure Number Three

As I say in the beginning of this episode, I didn't intend to turn this podcast into a show about collecting, but... well, take two minutes to have a listen and learned why I'm doing another show about classic Kenner action figures and my goal to collect them all, so soon!

Thanks to Adam Pattison for the new figure!  Please, check out his great toy photography on Instagram - @mandalorian40.  I hope to have Adam on as a guest next time!

And here is the video of me unboxing the new figure...

The Saga Begins

No, the title of this episode is not in reference to the classic Weird Al song (have I mentioned I've performed on stage with Mr. Yankovic multiple times in the past? Oh, I have?  Ok, I'll shut up now.), but rather it is about the beginning of my classic Kenner Star Wars Action figure collection!

As I mentioned in Episode #0005, "Going Classic Kenner Collection Crazy", I am going to try and collect all the original Kenner Star Wars  action figures, and chronicle the experience here on the podcast. Well, my first figure has arrived! It comes from my good friend, Mr. Jason Collier, from The Expanded Fandomverse podcast.

I did not know which figure he was sending me, and when the package arrived the other day, I did not open it. Instead, I waited until today to record the experience here on the show. So please, sit back and enjoy my Christmas in September, as I open the package he sent me, and I squeal like a schoolchild.  (Sorry about that.)

If you have a figure you would like to sell to me, (or give to me), please let me know!   If you haven't figure that I add to my collection, you will be welcomed as a guest on the show. How awesome is that?!

PS - Because I  don't want to give away the surprise of which figure he sent me, I'm going to wait a few days before I post photos. Spoilers you know!

PPS - Check out the video of the unboxing on YouTube! (Coming soon!)

Going Classic Kenner Collection Crazy!

I love me some alliteration!

This episode is the first in a series of shows I am going to do as I try to build a collection of classic Kenner Star Wars figures.  I don't have any right now, but I hope to eventually collect them all!

And you can help!  Have any extra figures you can share, or sell to me?  Please, let me know!  Listen to the show, and then email me at TwelveParsecsPodcast@gmail.com.

Here are the display cases I mentioned in the show.  Pretty nice, eh?
