As all forums seem to be filled with topics such as these, I thought I would start one.
What was your first Star Wars action figure?
Mine was Chewbacca and Darth Vader for Easter in 1978.

I had the Early Bird Edition figures. Who knew they'd be worth something today? LOL If I knew then what I know now...But I had a great time with them so all's good.

If I remember correctly it was Obi-Wan, Luke, Vader (with the light sabers concealed in the arm), Snaggle tooth and a Jawa.

I got the 96 release of Han Solo and Darth Vader at the same time. My first two figures. Han shot first and always beat Vader somehow...

I honestly don't remember, since it was almost 30 years ago, though it was probably Darth Vader, since he was my idol. I do remember that my friend down the road got a T.I.E. Fighter for his birthday and I was really jealous, it was one of the big ones with sound and everything.

A Cloth Cape Jawa on a STAR WARS 20 Back Card (NO Boba Fett Offer) with the TOLTOYS (not Kenner) Logo back in Christmas of 1979.

Ahhh. My buddy the Death Star Gunner. All the main characters gone and sixty eight Death Star Gunners remained. So my wonderful mum bought my first evil character and put this Lizard on the path to the Dark Side. Good to see that Hasbro has changed with the times and...oh. Yeah. Fourty Boss Nass and Pit Droids and not a single Darth Revan to be found. Hmmm. So that's why I'm a Dark Sider!

I actually can't remember. My brother and I had a ton of action figures when we were younger (early '80s) and I can't say which one was the first. Sadly, they've all been sold in garage sales.
