Fantastic Collections Guys! They look awesome

Figured I'd give this thread a little bump. Some great items shown.

Over the last year I've ventured over a little bit more to the modern preproduction side. Here's a few pieces that I've been able to acquire.



POTF2 Luke Stormtrooper: Hardcopy Head, Unused Cardback




POTF2 FX Luke Jedi: Trilogo Proof, Mockup on Emperor card



POTF 2 Millenium Mint: Luke Poncho Mock Up in Bespin Han packing, C-3PO with Kenner Standard Tag



Saga Luke Jabbas Palace with Hasbro Standard Tag, 12" Luke Jedi Unpainted First Shot Head



TRU Delta Squad: Fixer painted hardcopy, unpainted first shot, painted first shot

Nice pieces everyone,
collecting modern pre production pieces for me is also a recent choice,
due to the vintage pre production items being locked up in collections,
I like the TRU Delta Squad Fixer run you have Shawn,
this is my very similar run for TRU Delta Squad Boss.

-Factory spec sheet for the hardcopy figure
-Boss hardcopy
-Boss first shot
-Boss QC sample, factory baggie has same numbers as spec sheet

Would like to get a few more modern pieces, but even these are becoming pricey.
Hope to see the rest of the squad someday.

Nice Boss run! Mine came with the spec sheet for Scorch and the seller never did find the right one for Fixer. My guess is they probably got mixed up, but I don't know who bought that one.

 

[M4K3R1]

Thanks Shawn, hope you find the correct sheet for yours eventually.
I also have 2 SEV QC samples from this set, but missed out on the companion pieces to make a SEV run.
The hardcopy for SEV had a broken peg, so I passed on it, but regret it now.
I was also too late for the SEV no paint first shot.
Interesting that both the SEV QC samples have a slight colour difference.
Will try to track down the other factory bagged BOSS QC sample that I also missed,
when I saw it it had already sold. I suspect it may also have a colour difference to it.
I like how only the weapons distinguish the character for the Delta squad, no colour first shot figures.

A couple of new additions.

I hadn't seen that this thread had picked up pace! Great stuff guys, really nice proto runs!

Nute Gunray - The Phantom Menace EP1 1999 1st Shot In Great Colours

Vin3po, that's not just any Nute Gunray, it's actually an unproduced Nute Gunray holographic figure.
It was due for a late 2000/ early 2001 release and if you compare the arms they are mirror flipped from the first version they brought out. This was due to come packed with a 2nd generation commtech chip too. They canned the figure when they changed from TPM to Power of the Jedi packaging. I'll dig mine out and also see if I can record the chip audio too for you

Very cool.

Dave

That Action Master 3PO 2-up is a thing of beauty too
