AWESOME COLLECTION!
:love
I love seeing all the vintage graphics and packaging! I guess for me, as a packaging designer, it's always interesting to see how the bilingual typography is handled. Also, as a side note regarding some of the history surrounding all the "STAR WARS" packaging and graphics, it was done by a design firm called LPK in downtown Cincinnati up until 95' when Hasbro bought out Kenner. I worked for them a for a few years, unfortunately it was well after the "SW" hey day! :cry I was told of all the prototype figures just lying around, "Rocket Firing Boba Fett" figures, etc. etc., you name it! There was a Design Director there that was also a huge "SW" freak and scooped it all up when it was still lying around the office years after they didn't have the business anymore. He said he made a pretty decent chunk of change selling it to collectors and kept the rest for himself. He actually gave me a few 4x5 color transparencies of photo shoots that were done for the various "SW" toy lines. As a matter of fact, the Kenner building was only 2 or 3 blocks away and that's where the "Pre-Pro 3 Boba Fett Photo Shoot" was done, that then was used on all the 3 3/4" and 12" figures, pretty crazy cool history. 8)
THX for sharing a life's worth of collecting!
