Star Wars Collector Series 12” Figures
Note: Differences are listed in each release of Assortment 1 for identification
between the variants and the specific release. All First Release 12” figures
from Assortment 1 have a dark blue background insert and the TIE-Fighter
photo on the box front is printed upside down. All Second Release 12” figures
from Assortment 1 have a light blue background insert and corrected TIE-Fighter
photo on the box front. Many of these variants are easy to fake, so beware
of opened boxes and loose foil decals. If you know of a variant or production
error that has not been identified on this checklist, please contact a staff
member with the information by email.
