Vintage inspirted 92 card back shirt at Tee fury
Tee Fury has two Star Wars shirts today.
No One’s Slave features a pin-up version of Princess Leia in the metal bikini, a beautiful drawing of Leia. But the one fans of this blog may find interesting is 92 Card Back which is inspired by the vintage Kenner line. It is designed after the figure card backs which showed all the figures in the toy line.
A close up of the figures. You can see more at Tee-fury.
Tee-fury now has shoes and geeky “ugly sweater” sweatshirts. Scroll down their site to see.

Plastic Galaxy, a toy doucumentary
Plastic Galaxy is a documentary that explores the groundbreaking and breathtaking world of Star Wars toys.
Plastic galaxy movie
When Star Wars landed in the theaters, it introduced audiences to a galaxy filled with heroes and villains, robots and space ships, and a dizzying variety of alien life. But when the lights came up, they all disappeared…
Unless you had all the toys. In which case, the adventure never had to end.
Plastic Galaxy is a documentary that explores the groundbreaking and breathtaking world of Star Wars toys. Through interviews with former Kenner employees, experts, authors, and collectors, it looks at the toys’ history, their influence, and the fond and fervent feelings they elicit today.
The film, which will be released on DVD, also includes tours of some of the top collections — comprising prototypes, bootlegs, foreign toys, and all manner of surprises. DVD extras, including micro-documentaries and extended interviews, make Plastic Galaxy a prize for not only newer fans, but also long-time collectors.
Plastic Galaxy will be released on DVD in August, 2012 at Celebration VI.
