4 Weird STAR WARS Collectibles

Over 35 years of licensing Star Wars merchandise, Lucasfilm has approved some odd items. It’s bound to happen with a product line that covers everything from apparel to household goods. But, man, there are some head-scratchers. As we celebrate Star Wars Day on Sunday, we’ve rounded up four of the wackiest pieces of Star Wars merchandise we’ve seen for your enjoyment.

star wars collectibles - c3po

1. C-3PO tape dispenser
Made in the 1980s by Sigma, this ceramic C-3PO tape dispenser is kind of terrifying. The office product would be less disturbing if the tape weren’t right between the droid’s shiny legs, but several someones apparently thought it was an okay idea. Yipes. I spotted this treasure on a visit to Rancho Obi-Wan.

star wars collectibles - jar jar tongue candy

2. Jar Jar Binks tongue candy
Remember when Qui-Gon Jinn grabs Jar Jar’s tongue during The Phantom Menace? Well, this tongue lollipop reminds me a lot of that scene. I don’t have the words to describe how gross this is. Who wants to suck on Jar Jar’s tongue? Answer: no one. Ever.
HT: Cracked

star wars collectibles - barf bag

3. Revenge of the Sith barf bag
Though some would argue a barf bag is necessary to have on hand when you watch the prequels, we would disagree. However, if you’re flying the friendly skies, you should have a barf bag at the ready, and if you traveled with Virgin Atlantic Airways in 2005, you might have seen this Revenge of the Sith bag. It was a promotion for the video game that accompanied the film, and there were four different barf bag designs. Read more at the Rancho Obi-Wan blog.

star wars collectibles - princess leia figure

4. Muscle-bound Princess Leia
Hasbro’s Power of the Force 2 action figure series in the mid 1990s featured weirdly buff versions of Star Wars characters. Besides the bulging muscles, the face sculpts were also way off. This Princess Leia figure, often called Monkey Face Leia, is an example of the quality of the line. No thanks.

    I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch Star Wars without seeing this in my head…

  2. I’d actually kind of like to have that C-3PO tape dispenser for my desk.

  3. Heather says:

    My boyfriend has a very disturbing and odd Bobafett statue that supposedly holds a candy bowl or something. It’s just “the fett” holding out his hands for no reason.
    Until I stuck an old soup bowl in this hands so at least he was holding SOMETHING.
    He now is the guardian of our car keys and sunglasses.

    A tauntuan sleeping bag. Don’t worry it’s pre-sliced, no light saber needed. I thought they smelled bad from the out side.

  5. Ryan Croussore says:

    How about the Leia figures wide stance? Is she about to take a standing dump?
