Proof's, Prototype & Flat Boxes.

[DSJ™]

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?

[DSJ™]

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!

[Boba Binks]

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.

I received my second vintage fisrtshot landspeeder in the mail this week. Its hand painted and lacks any copyright dates




Pics from cantina collectables. I bought it from them. They have some great stuff

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.

A big Thanks & Thumbs Up to Wayne for this Prototype that has been added to my collection. A First Shot Luke Skywalker Battle Poncho, no dates, copyright or country on legs.  







Also added from last week, Undocumented Preschool Ewok First Shots. Cute little buggers!

Stormtrooper & Chewbacca Playskool protos.

ROTJ Mock-up Bespin Guard. Hand glued esb-bubble on ROTJ proof card.
Was used as display/sample at Kenner and came from a gentleman who
was in the packaging department.


Lili Ledy Leia non sonic welded, with FS torso


Proofs, two ESB and one Revenge.

And the kings of my collection:

My two wbg First Shots.  

Also got this one:

Madine figure with wbg head. Not sure if proto at all but it
came from a Kenner employee find. Cool looking anyhow.  

Also got these slides (maybe not protos but from Kenner and some did
have an important role in the development of the packaging):

Used for the 31-back ESB wbg.


Ugnaught slide.


Image used for the tri-logo Romba(!) card back.


Sorry for many and large pictures.

Whoa, running behind in this area.  

Very nice collection there Johan, that Madine figure with wbg head is cool.  

Just got this a short time a go. A 48 back Revenge Of The Jedi FX-7 Proof.
