Millennium Falcon cargo handler

Posted on 28/07/2010 by

Jediinsider forums have a a small article about a prototype Cargo Handler. Apparently, back in 1984/85 Kenner were toying (exuse the pun) with the idea of a Mini rig cargo handler that would’ve fit inbetween the mandibles of their Millennium Falcon toy. A nice idea i thought. Here are a couple of photos. I wonder if Hasbro will try to adopt this idea for their BMF? The Falcon is a Cargo ship after all.

A keen Star Wars collector since 1977, my collection focus seems to have taken on a turn towards Han Solo's iconic Star Ship. Why the Millennium Falcon? No one else seemed to have one at the time and it was fair to say that i had difficulty resisting the higher end models. My friend, icruise from Rebelscum has a superb blog for his Jabba the Hutt collection, I thought that i'd start this blog to chart my own collection of Millennium Falcon related stuff as it increases. Well, that was the plan but it now seems to be more about cataloguing any Millennium Falcon item in general now so that i can come back to them later.

    They did sort of do this for the BMF, except it doesn’t attach to the front. It comes out the back.

    I know that there’s that escape vehicle thingie in the side, but i kind of like this as the Falcon is a Cargo vessel after all. It’s sort of like getting back to it’s roots if you know what i mean?
