Wired (http://www.wired.com/underwire/2010/12/stormtrooper-super-shogun-post-cards/) magazine online has an exclusive look at some nifty nostalgic holiday postcards created by Super 7 for their Stormtrooper Super Shogun. For the retro postcards, photographer D. Martin Myatt, who also works at our affiliate site RebelScum.com (http://www.rebelscum.com/), asked fans to donate actual ’70s and ’80s photos of themselves holding Star Wars toys. (The names used on the cards are the names of people in the pictures.) With a little Photoshop magic, the Stormtrooper Super Shogun became a part of the memories. Check them all out HERE (http://www.wired.com/underwire/2010/12/stormtrooper-super-shogun-post-cards/).

What's neat, aside from seeing the Stormtrooper Super Shogun as if it was released in the glory days of Star Wars collectibles, is looking at all the nostalgic Star Wars toys. As a kid who grew up in the '70s I fondly recall owning quite a few pictured, including a few non-Star Wars items, like the generic sci-fi "Space Case" in the photo above.
