I think the quote from Mark Hamill was “Good God, they’ve put me on steroids!” but here it’s “Me? I wish!” http://www.starwars.com/news/force-throwback-the-first-modern-star-wars-action-figures
I don’t remember the sabers being this long, but the extra blasters were way too big and the plastic was always bent.
It was something Kenner corrected early on, making the long saber variants more valuable to collectors.
Pity we never got a buff Porkins. 😉
