X-Wing Pilot Mickey Mouse as Luke Skywalker with Donald Duck as Han Solo Action Figures Event exclusive Limited Edition 1980 #0708 or lower
Awarded my buy recommendation for collectors
Continuing the collection of Disney Star Tours/ Star Wars individually numbered action figures exclusively available during Star Wars Weekends events. This X-Wing Pilot Mickey Mouse as Luke Skywalker with Han Solo pilot of the Millennium Falcon ready to go into battle against the Empire and right out of the "Star Wars V: Empire Strikes Back These Star Tours action figures are a Star Wars Weekends 2014 collector exclusive in a Limited Edition of only 1980 with each set individually numbered. This continues the Star Tours / Star Wars Weekends Collection of Individually Numbered Action Figure Series (SWWCINAFS) which began in 2010 with Stitch as Emperor Palpatine Hologram action figure. Its comes to you in a clear plastic collector's display case embossed with "Star Wars Weekends".
This Action Figure sold out and is very unique with historical significance making it especially important item to all Star Wars, Disney and Star Wars Weekends fans, attendees and collectors. For years after the start of Star Wars Weekends Disney artists wanted to create Star Wars and Disney character mash ups but could not as they needed Lucas's permission, eventually they received his permission. And this Star Wars mash up figure was personally approved by George Lucas. A few years later Disney purchased LucasFilm Ltd. After purchase of LucasFilm, ironically in 2015 at D-23 Disney announced the end to the combo or mash up Disney Star Wars figures. Apparently due to LucasFilm's decision not to permit them. So we have come full circle now with LucasFilm deciding what Disney does with regards to Star Wars. This Disney Star Wars Action Figure now is retired in so many ways.
Because the announcement August 2015 by Disney of the end of Star Wars mash up figures, logos and characters and with the official termination of the Star Wars Weekends announced November 9th, 2015 that makes this Disney Star Wars Mash Up Action Figure released during Star Wars Weekends rare (an historical figure so to speak) with no more mash ups and no more Star Wars Weekends that increases their uniqueness, value and therefore their desirability to any Star Wars, Disney or Star Wars Weekends attendee or collector now and into the future.
The deeper effect of new order star wars
In addition it now seems likely that Disney and LucasFilms, which controls the new Star Wars film franchise, will focus on and promote a different agenda with characters they have and will invent. This will most likely reform the Star Wars franchise at Disney as it will be using the movies and animation series characters which they invented and which will be designed to promote new LucasFilms Ltd and Disney world view which will most help their corporations with their world concepts effecting the future. This most likely will increase demand for the George Lucas's Classic Star Wars character items approved by him, from the original trilogies and those with original Star Wars actors' autographs and mash up action and character figures, cels, prints, medium big figurines etc from Star Wars Weekends. The legends of the specialness of this ultimate magical event for Star Wars fans who made the pilgrimage to attend from all over the world will surely grow as time passes and the availability of items from the events will become increasingly rare. It marks the end of both the creative genius of the George Lucas Star Wars era and the magical Disney Star Wars Weekends era too. This figure is from both the George Lucas Star Wars era and the amazing Disney Star Wars Weekends events era. It was personally approved by George Lucas before he sold LucasFilm which makes it rare and more desirable for collectors as time passes, as no more items from either of those two eras can be produced.
Put this one in your collection and you will be able to enjoy your investment in this beauty as it appreciates over the years and will be a classic and sought after item for all serious Star Wars, Disney, and Star Wars Weekends attendees, fans and collectors.
