Barada The Power of the Force 1985 Kenner Star Wars.
Did you Know Barada is one of the Few Figures that can be found with two dates. 1984 and 1985. The 1984 is much harder to find, thought to be a possible Euro baggie version.
Happy Halloween..

It’s Halloween month !!
I thought I would share the awesomeness of those Halloween’s past- STAR WARS STYLE . 
Here is a collection from the Star Wars Ben Cooper Vinyl Halloween costumes. The masks themselves have become a hot collectible of their own in recent years. Most collectors prefer the entire outfit, with the box, mask’s alone are rather desirable. Because of the fragility of the mask, finding a great sample is getting harder. Consequently, finding a costume itself that is not torn on a seam can be difficult.
There are several scarce variations of masks and costumes. One of the rarest is the Silver Boba Fett mask resembling early concept artwork.
For those unfortunate few whose parents got late to the store they may have settled for the simple rain poncho costume.
There are several versions of the boxes. the earliest version you could find Star wars costumes was the generic Ben Cooper box. By 1979 Star Wars boxes filled the shelves. 
The masks themselves also have many iterations. Here is an example of Darth Vader mask variations.
Here is a great selection of mask images of star wars costumes
and some images from the plastic costumes —
Happy Halloween and happy collecting

Heres is a little trivia. !
The first time Star Wars was available for Purchases was 1982. This was for all three of the media sources of the Time VHS- BETAMAX and VIDEO DISC. It was not cheap a copy would set you back near $100 bucks.
For those not old enough to remember you could Rent a VHS or laser disc player and a movie and watch it at home, ahh those college parties. but I digress..
Here is the CED Viedo Disc of Star Wars from 1982. There are several Variations of the Disc. All contain the original Theatrical release from 1977 . Got to say great graphics and the classic Logo !
Reportedly Disney is going to bring back the original version -. I don’t mind the Special Edition version, it does help with continuity of the prequels, but hey.. don’t want to start a fight.
Luke Bespin has an array of hair colors. and several head molds as well. – Here is a selection
