THE GREAT ANAKIN MAILER MYSTERY??
Well I have searched long & hard for a very long time, spoken to a great many folks into single figure mailers both here in the UK & In Australia & we so far have all drawn a total blank on the mysterious Anakin mailer, a great many examples of the mailer have turned up both open & sealed, all examples have been plain white overstock boxes, not a single confirmed example of one with any sending / address info on it, not that that's uncommon with palitoy mailers but as far as I am aware there is not one scrap of info on the offer/promotion of this figure in either the UK or in Oz, no card back/front stickers, no comic ad's no flyers or any info on line, palitoy mailers are a bit of an odyssey at the best of times, with very little being known about many of the actual items as they simply never turn up for sale, but at least there is info on the offers, which is more than I can say for the Anakin, am I missing something or is it a simple case of the Anakin being intended for a future promotion which never ended up happening with the toy line bombing?? I know a great many of these came directly from palitoy as dead stock/overstock but were they intended for a UK promotion or an Australian one? as they have the palitoy-a baggie which was used by both companies, so no hint there - thoughts?
