Empire Strikes Back Sketchbook by Joe Johnston

Empire Strikes Back Sketchbook

Paperback: 95 pages
Publisher: Ballantine Books (June 1980)

An interesting look into the early design of many of the most prominent space craft from the AT-AT and Trooper designs to the Imperial Shuttle and Snowspeeder. Great conceptual sketch artwork by Joe Johnston.

A collection of sketches by two designers, used by model makers to build characters, vehicles, and buildings for the movie, "The Empire Strikes Back."

A classic. This is the real deal. Art is stripped down gutsy line art that gets the point across. This is a great foundation for concept sketching. I Just re-bought it after loosing the one I owned since I was a student 30 years ago.

4-LOM (Zuckuss): Empire Strikes Back Vintage Action Figure

The original 4-LOM (mis-labled Zuckuss) bounty hunter figure by Kenner
From 1980.

With vinyl leatherette jacket and blaster rifle. A true classic figure for any collection.

Great figure. Zuckuss the bounty hunter mislabled as 4-LOM on the packaging. Always thought it was weird that they would give an alien a droid designation (if in fact he was one) and then give the droid a proper name? Oh, Kenner screwed up again - like Snaggletooth!
One of my favorites with great detail in the face, jacket and accessories.
Think I got this as a mail in offer.

R2-D2 (Artoo Deetoo) w/Periscope: Empire Strikes Back Vintage Action Figure

Vintage 1980 Star Wars Empire Strikes Back R2-D2 W/Periscope 3 3/4" Action Figure

Figure comes with pull-up Periscope.
Made by Kenner in 1980

Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) clicked with the first Star Wars fans when he came out in 1978. No, really, he clicked… He may not look as movie accurate as any of his modern counterparts, but many vintage collectors will agree, with his clicking head and sticker details, Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) is one of the coolest figures Kenner ever made.
