Alright, alright, let’s talk about this… uh… uncle owen action figure thingy. My grandson, he’s always yappin’ about these things. Star Wars, he calls it. Never seen such a fuss over little plastic people.
Now, this Uncle Owen fella, from what I gather, ain’t no fancy Jedi knight or nothin’. He’s just a… a farmer, I guess. Like old man Johnson down the road, ‘cept Johnson ain’t got no plastic version of himself, thank the good Lord.
So, this action figure, it’s… well, it’s a little plastic man. Looks like a regular fella, overalls and all. Nothin’ special, if you ask me. But the kids, they go crazy for it. They say he’s important ‘cause he, like, took care of some space kid or somethin’. I tell ya, these stories these days!
My grandson, he showed me a picture on that… that ‘puter thing he’s always got. Said this here Uncle Owen figure came in a set, somethin’ called “Purchase of the Droids”. Sounds like somethin’ you’d get at the feed store, not a toy store. But what do I know? I’m just an old woman.
- Figure Size: They say it’s about this tall (holds up hand to indicate about 3.75 inches). Tiny little thing, really. Could lose it in the couch cushions, easy. Then you’d be in a pickle, wouldn’t ya? All that money spent on a piece of plastic you can’t even find.
- Material: Plastic, of course. What else would it be? Back in my day, toys were made of wood, sturdy and lasted forever. Now it’s all just flimsy plastic. Probably from China, too. Everything is these days.
- Year: Grandson said this fella came out in… 1998? That’s a long time ago! Wasn’t even born yet, some of these kids buyin’ it. Funny how things work, ain’t it? Old stuff becomes new again.
Now, if you’re thinkin’ of gettin’ one of these Uncle Owen action figures, I reckon you gotta know where to look. My grandson, he’s always scourin’ them… “online stores” he calls ‘em. Sounds like a whole lotta trouble to me. Why can’t you just go to the store and buy it like a normal person? But I guess that’s how things are done now.
He says there’s all sorts of different versions too. Some are worth more than others, apparently. Collectors, he calls ‘em. Grown men, spendin’ good money on little plastic men. I tell ya, the world’s gone mad. But hey, if it makes ‘em happy, who am I to judge?
Why do people even want this thing anyway? My grandson says it’s ‘cause it’s… “rare” and “vintage”. Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. But then again, I don’t know much about these things. He says folks collect ‘em, put ‘em on shelves, and just look at ‘em. Don’t even play with ‘em! What’s the point of a toy you can’t play with? Kids these days, I swear.
And the price! Don’t even get me started on the price. My grandson told me some of these figures cost more than a good pair of work boots! For a little piece of plastic! It’s highway robbery, I tell ya. But folks are willin’ to pay it, so I guess that’s that.
So, there you have it. My take on this uncle owen action figure. It’s a little plastic man, from some space movie, and people go crazy for it. If you’re lookin’ to buy one, good luck to ya. You’ll need it, navigatin’ those “online stores” and dealin’ with those collectors. Me? I’ll stick to my garden gnomes. At least they stay put and don’t cost an arm and a leg.
And remember, don’t go spendin’ your life savings on it. It’s just a toy, after all. There’s more important things in life than plastic men, you know. Like family, and good food, and a roof over your head. That’s what really matters, not some Star Wars thingamajig. But then again, what do I know? I’m just an old woman talkin’ about things I don’t understand.
One last thing, if you do get one of these action figures, make sure you keep it away from the dog. They like to chew on things, those critters, and a little plastic man wouldn’t stand a chance. Then all that money would be gone, just like that. So be careful, ya hear? And don’t say I didn’t warn ya.
