Target Exclusive Vintage Collection Droid Set (Boxed Sample Prototype) R5D4, Death Star Droid and Power Droid

 

 

Produced in 2012 and Exclusive to Target, the set is a Quality Control/Boxed Sample Prototype. There are subtle differences in the placement of the bubble, punch and overall design of the set compared to the Production version. The sides of the boxed are not taped sealed, which is common for Quality Control samples. The back of the box contains a Security Tracking Number. The Death Star Droid, R5D4 and Power Droid are some of the harder to find modern Prototypes.

POTF2 Commtech Greedo Quality Control Sample (MOC)

 

 

Pictured is a POTF2 Commtech Greedo Quality Control Sample (MOC). The figure is similar to the Production version and has a green “Kenner Standard” tag affixed to the back of the card. The card notes the Date: 21 May 1999, Item Number: 84185/84201, Item Name – GREEDO – CANTINA and Vendor: SMILE – C-060A. The card is signed by Q.A. or Quality Assurance. 

 

Here is a picture of the front of the card. This is a noteworthy addition to my collection. 

POTF2 Freeze Frame Death Star Trooper Test Shot (Unpainted)

 

 

Pictured is a POTF2 Freeze Frame Death Star Trooper Test Shot. The figure is unpainted and sonic welded, so it cannot be taken apart. The head is molded/shot in beige. The figure contains copyright information (Kenner China 1998 LFL) on the feet. The Death Star Trooper is one of the tougher to find Modern Prototypes and a nice addition to my collection. 

 

Polish Unarticulated Zuckuss Bootlegs (Zuckuss Blues)

 

 

As some of you may know, I am an absolute sucker for Bootlegs. Back in 2019, I decided to take the "jump"  and start a side focus or run of Bootlegs, specifically from Poland. Pictured are all of the Blue variations for the Unarticulated Polish Zuckuss, produced in the late 1980's or early 1990's. From left to right is Lite Blue, Dark Blue, Blue/Purple with Red Eyes and Translucent Blue. The Lite and Dark Blue variations are rather hard to find, where the Translucent and Red Eyes versions are very hard to find. This is a nice sub-focus for my collection and as most Bootleg collectors know, the "hunt" is never over.
