Season Three begins! 2020 was the year of the pandemic. But it will always be so much more than that.

33. The Star Wars History Of The Darksaber: From The Clone Wars To The Mandalorian, Part 3! Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

Sabine Wren has the Darksaber, and is determined to find the next ruler who will unite Mandalore. The Emperor has employed Gar Saxon and his clan to dispose of any Mandalorians who oppose the Empire. And yet, hope lies within that saber's hilt. But Moff Gideon will soon possess it as well. So begins the final episode of the story of the Darksaber. The season one finale of the beloved series The Mandalorian ended with a villain in possession of one of the most legendary and storied lightsabers in the history of Star Wars. But this is no ordinary lightsaber. The Darksaber has its roots among the Mandalorians, the people of the planet Mandalore. Its glowing black blade is unlike anything we've ever seen, and has been passed down to the leaders of Mandalore for generations. But beginning with The Clone Wars, the Darksaber affects the lives of many characters we know and love (and love to hate) in the Star Wars universe in immense and impactful ways. Join host David Quinn for part three of the history of the Darksaber, as he traces the saber's path from its originator, Tarre Vizsla, through the hands of some unexpected possessors, like The Clone Wars' Maul and Rebels' Sabine Wren, and how it eventually wound up in the hands of The Mandalorian's Moff Gideon. The story of the Darksaber is one of the most intense and most exciting Star Wars stories ever told, packed with wild twists, tragedy and hope.

30. Collecting Prototypes: Presentation Boards And Pitching A Star Wars Galaxy At Kenner and Hasbro! Oct 15, 2020

Show notes

If you were going to pitch an idea for a Star Wars figure, what would it be and where would you start? For the designers at Kenner in the 1970s and 1980s, and at Hasbro in the 1990s and 2000s, the presentation board was the earliest example of pitching an idea and represented what that idea could become. And while many presentation boards are long gone, some have made their way into the hands of vintage and modern Star Wars collectors. And while few have realized the importance of these boards, there is a growing interest in obtaining what may be the earliest representation of a figure we love, or of an idea that was never produced. Join host David Quinn as he examines some of the surviving Kenner presentation boards that span almost a decade of production during the original trilogy, The Power of the Force and the 1985-86 Line Extension Proposal, followed by a discussion about Hasbro's quest to create a new era of Star Wars toys with longtime modern prototype collector and dear friend, Anthony Pagano. During the conversation, Anthony shares his insight into Hasbro's pitch to obtain the master rights to producing Star Wars toys from Lucasfilm; the contents of that pitch and how it led to the Power of the Force 2 line; the figures that were created during those five years of production, and the ones that were never produced; how Hasbro worked in tandem with Lucasfilm for the Episode 1 toy line during the entire production of the film; the presentation boards for The Power of the Jedi Tour in 2001; and finally, why presentation boards suddenly disappeared shortly after the turn of the century. Collecting Prototypes is a new series that will explore more than 40 years of modern and vintage Star Wars preproduction pieces from companies like Kenner and Hasbro. It will feature interviews with some of the most knowledgeable and passionate prototype collectors, and will examine the production process of a Star Wars toy as it goes from concept to retail.

29. The Panel: Eight Star Wars Collectors Discuss The Trends And Values Of The Toys and Prototypes! Sep 17, 2020

Show notes

In August, the Georgia Alliance of Star Wars Collectors (GASWC) hosted a virtual collectors convention filled with interviews and panels, game shows and room sales. And Star Wars: Prototypes and Production was invited to present its first live video podcast panel during the event! Continuing the "Collecting During Quarantine" series, the panel was a look at the overall Star Wars collectibles market and at the trends and values during this season. The panel was one of the most popular ones during the Georgia Virtual Social weekend, and with good reason: seven collectors with a vast wealth of knowledge imparted their insight on various sectors of the hobby, forming an all-star presentation! And after the presentation, the group decided to record an updated version as a podcast episode. Working with this team of seven passionate and knowledgeable collectors to put something of this magnitude together was one of the highlights of the year, and we hope you enjoy it, and learn from it too. Join host David Quinn for a look at the vintage Star Wars carded market after Return of the Jedi; Ryan "Humblehorder" K's valuable update on the prices and trends of loose vintage figures; Elling Haug's spectacular overview of the vintage preproduction world; Anthony Pagano's masterful look at modern Star Wars prototypes; Christopher Leddy's exploration of the Ahsoka Tano craze and the impact of The Clone Wars' season seven release; Trent Bailey's in-depth report on two of the hottest sectors in collecting today - The Mandalorian and The Black Series; Jason Wasulko's fascinating dive into the 3.75" figures of The Vintage Collection and the Retro Series; And Clifton Boggs' all-important look on future Hasbro releases, and which ones are worth your time and money! Thank you to Justin Haynie and all of our friends at the Georgia Alliance of Star Wars Collectors for assembling an amazing event and for inviting the podcast to be a part of it. If you'd like to join a special community of Star Wars fans and collectors, just search GASWC on Facebook. Life will be all the better for it, and that's a promise!

A Prototype DT Vader, Vintage Star Wars First Shots...and a Trove of Elvis Treasures? These are just a handful of the thousands and thousands of rare toys and collectibles that have fallen into the hands of That Vintage Toy Guy, Zach Curtis. At a time in which life is upside down, and people are dealing with some heavy, frustrating situations, Zach's story of a life of dealing and collecting toys is one of the most uplifting, inspiring ones out there. Join host David Quinn for a collectors conversation with Zach as he shares tale after tale of his amazing finds, the lessons learned along the way, and the blessings that have come from them. If you're looking to sell your collection, or are searching for a specific item to purchase, or you want to just reach out and say hello, contact Zach on his Facebook page at That Vintage Toy Guy (with the Superman-like logo). And tell him you heard him on Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
