As the title mentions, does anyone collect these?
Vintage or new?
I have only one proof card. An ESB FX-7 Medical Droid.

I don't collect those, but have always wondered how people acquire them. How did you end up with that, and what's the value on it?
-
I got it from Dan Flarida over at GH. $45.
I'm getting an Acrylic Display Flat Case for it from Oscar Didier. He makes them & other cases for figures.
You can check them out here:

He's really good. ;)

Those are the coolest cases I've seen yet for Star Wars figures! I couldn't believe he had one for Ephant Mon! Wow!
-
I have an Episode 1 Jar Jar Binks proof card. I am working on acquiring the Prototype of this figure.
Hey DSJ I have a doctor friend who collects anything Vintage FX Droid. I am not sure if he has this card or not. I will have to direct him to these forums so he can check it out.

I've always wondered wher people obtain these things. I have enough trouble finding the figures I want when they are released, never mind hunting down the proto's. ;)

Well I just added my first ever Prototype First Shot Stormtrooper from the Playskool Millenium Falcon set.

I always wanted a Prototype figure & this was the cheapest I could find. :)
Updated with new picture.

That's a very cool figure indeed, and I love how it's all black in color.

Thanks to Dale here is a shot of my 2 vintage landspeeder protos.
The white one is a vintage first shot. Unfortunalty the upper thruster is missing. The windshield is a little warped. I think it was hand formed as it is quit a bit thicker than production
The second micro is a hand painted prototype. It lacks all copywrite dates and info. The neat part is that the painter left a fingerprint on it. The lines were painted using a template but the body is all hand done as well as the figures.

Not a true prototype but interesting. This is a green carded QA sample from hasbro. I am unsure how many they made of each item but it is not a one of a kind piece but a little more unique than a run of the mill Maul. They used the green cards to have the higher ups sign off on the product.
