Action Fleet Alpha Series Imperial Shuttle


The Action Fleet Imperial Shuttle is basically just a display item. The figures that are included are better than the metal figures for the Micro Collection because they have some articulation. Honestly the whole thing is really small. Why would anyone play with this when the full size action figures are better? So, this does not seem to be made for play. It's a pretty cool concept in that the set has a mini replica of the Imperial Shuttle as well as the concept design of the shuttle. As seen in the picture the stand allows both ships to be displayed. The mini figures fit in the cockpit of the Shuttle well enough for the canopy to close.
The mini figures are a Stormtrooper and a Tie Fighter Pilot. The Tie Pilot looks very different from the one in the movies so it's possible that this figure is also a concept design.

Micro Machines Action Fleet AT-AT


 This Micro Machines AT-AT was released in stores in 1997. They made two versions of this AT-AT one where the AT-AT just posed on its stand, and another one that has a remote control that moves the AT-AT. It's actually pretty cool looking and moves quite well. It's slow moving but that's okay since it's the AT-AT and that is awesome!!!
It includes a Snowtrooper and an At-AT Driver mini figure. Only one figure can fit in the cockpit of the AT-AT. The lid of the cockpit doesn't close with the figure. Kind of lame. Figures can fit in the body of the AT-AT also. As seen in the picture the whole thing comes with a display stand that's white like the snow of Hoth. All this together makes for a pretty cool display.

The Empire Strikes Back Metal Pill Box


This is a micro tin box. This box I got in 2015 because I was curious as to what these are like. It is really small and is only to be used for pills and maybe mints. I don't use this box except to put it on display.

Spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi

The first of what has become a long line of translucent "spirit" or "hologram" figures, Obi-Wan was a mail-away offer from Frito-lay to promote the 1997 released of the Star Wars Special Edition movies. It uses the basic sculpt of the new-wave Obi-Wan.

Escape From Death Star Game

(from back of box)
"Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo and Chewbacca are trapped in the Death Star Trash Compactor. It's your challenge to help them escape to the freedom of the Rebel Base."
"R2D2 spins out your moves, but you must decide what passage ways to follow. The safe way is the long way. And time is running out. You must turn off the tractor beam and pick up a pair of secret plans. Will you take short cuts that risk encounters with the Force? You will if you're daring, and could be the first to board the Millennium Falcon, fight your way through Tie Fighters, and reach the rebel Base to win!"
This is one of two games released by Kenner almost concurrently with the original Star Wars movie (Star Wars: Destroy Death Star Game is the other).
Each player races through the Death Star with two tokens (Luke/Leia and Han/Chewbacca), picking up good/bad 'Force' cards when they land on blue spaces.
Both tokens must reach the Millennium Falcon and fight their way across TIE Fighters to win the game!
I got this game from my friend in 1988. I played the game a few times and it was fun. Now it is pretty much just on display in my collection room.
