Those would be the ones Neville Stocken sculpted after he received a C&D letter from Lucasfilm, Ltd. IIRC... the 5th figure from the left however is a Little Fuzzy from H. Beam Piper's novels, this particular variant being one armed with two of Stocken's Star Rovers sci-fi weapons and given a bandolier. I have the low tech version as well in my collection armed only with the short glaive-like native armament depicted on the cover art that these figures are based on...

Those are hilarious - hope you can find the R2 as well!

In the '70s, these were pretty high tech as miniatures went. Despite their age and the limitations of the sculpting of the day, they paint up reasonably well:

I had the full set back in the day. The Obi Wan dwarf is in my dwarf space pirate crew. The rest are mixed in with other Sci-fi crews. I had a mickey mouse R2-D2 but cut the ears off of it. I also had some of the Rabbit trooper & cut the ears, toes, and bunny tail off.

Sometimes I think people could imagine better in the olden days of the 70's and 80's.

I am a native of San Mateo County, California. I grew up in what is now the heart of the tech industry. Do NOT get me started on the subject of the generational disconnect between my curmudgeonly generation that grew up during the '60s-70s and today's younger techie "entrepreneurs and innovators!" You MUST be joking!!!
