When you see the Gonk Droid with Treadwell Droid figures without the context of the Saga Collection cardback you might be forgiven for thinking that they were A New Hope sale of the droids figures. In fact, I didn't realise that this Saga Collection Gonk Droid action figure was from The Empire Strikes Back until I spotted him out of the corner of my eye when re-watching the movie the other day. This of course places the Treadwell Droid on top of the Millennium Falcon. These guys have (up to now) been adorning my Sale of the Droids scene. So these figures have been re-homed and the Treadwell Droid figure looks especially good alongside Chewbacca making repairs to the Falcon. I'm actually quite surprised I made this mistake since I bought the figures mint on card and the Saga Collection card back makes it quite clear that they are from The Empire Strikes Back.

The Treadwell Droid action figure gets pretty much the same treatment as Salacious Crumb does whenever he appears in a two-pack in that it's pretty much a static ornament rather than a pose-able action figure. Nonetheless the Treadwell Droid offers a unique opportunity to pose him with Chewie up on the Falcon making repairs for the evacuation of Echo Base.
The Gonk Droid figure has terrible balance despite the size of his feet and the fact that he is low-set. You will need to use the figure stand that comes with him to get any balance from him whatsoever. I was quite surprised by this as it is an issue never encountered with the Kenner Power Droid action figure.
All Star Wars action figures, vehicles, collectibles and Star Wars toys shown on this website are the 3.75 inch scale and from my own private Star Wars collection unless otherwise stated. Where possible original vintage accessories have been used but in some instances I have placed Kenner Star Wars figures with either reproduction weapons and accessories or for Hasbro figures close approximations have been used. This is mostly the case for modern Star Wars lightsabers where the correct item can be very difficult to identify on some ocassions. Vintage Star Wars action figures are shown with their original weapon or accessory when I have them. When a vintage Kenner action figure is shown with an accessory which is not original I have tried to point this out where possible.
All of the Star Wars action figures shown were purchased second hand, usually incomplete, and in bulk. They have been reunited with their original weapons and accessories where we could get hold of them.
