#Micro machine playsets movie
While this playset may not have the spongy “muck” of the original, Galoob more than made up for it by retaining Yoda’s hut and the Dark Side Cave while adding the Dragonsnake Bog - complete with a dragonsnake that can actually spit out the set’s included R2-D2 figurine not to mention that the lever on the playset let one recreate the scene from the movie when Luke Skywalker raises his submerged X-Wing from the bog’s depths.
#Micro machine playsets series
“Plastic? Tiny? My playset this is!” Right off the bat, this playset should definitely evoke memories from those that owned the original Dagobah playset from Kenner’s The Empire Strikes Back series of toys. Check out 10 of the greatest Star Wars Micro Machines playsets! There were plenty of playsets out there (enough to recreate an entire planet), but there were some that truly stand out from the rest in regards to creative design, mechanics and pure fun. But like the main Micro Machines line, the tiny vehicles were nothing without the playsets and, in standard fashion, Galoob pulled all the stops when it came to special features and details that bordered on the obsessive. Highly reminiscent of Kenner’s miniature die-cast Star Wars Micro Collection of the past, Galoob churned out a number of vehicles and miniature figurines in multi-packs, meaning that one could build an army or a fleet of battleships and starfighters in a short amount of time. Galoob - one of the largest toy companies during its ’80s/’90s heyday - combined the popularity of its Micro Machines line with the scope, diversity and epic nature of Star Wars, all of it culminating into the memorable (and incomparable) Star Wars Micro Machines Collection! But Kenner wasn’t the only toy company reigniting the public’s nostalgia with the legendary franchise. However, with the coming of the ’90s came a Star Wars renaissance of sorts with Kenner leading the charge with an all-new line of toys.
?After dominating toy aisles and coveted Saturday morning commercial time throughout the late ’70s and mid-’80s, demand for Kenner’s line of Star Wars action figures and vehicles ground to a screeching halt and quickly fell out of favor despite numerous attempts to jumpstart the toyline with new characters and background stories.
