What are the Macquires figs, are they the figures for the original proposed characters for the original films, i.e what the characters might have looked like?

Yes they are sculpted from Ralph McQuaries orginal artwork, below is a pic of my collection that i took a few months ago; i now have Darth Vader, Starkiller Hero and the Snowtrooper. I will take another group shot once i get round to it.

There should be a gold coin as well, apart from that it is probably to encourage completists to buy duplicates imo :?
