2009 Legacy Collection Exclusive Boxed McQuarrie Figure Set (2 of 2) C-9

Includes: - Rebel Trooper - Starkiller Hero (Leia) - Darth Vader - Luke Skywalker - Stormtrooper - Snowtrooper A long time ago in a galaxy, well...right here, a young filmmaker named George Lucas embarked on a quest to bring his vision of a science fiction adventure to the big screen. But before young Lucas could begin filming his epic, he sought guidance from a master storyteller, a visual wizard who took the writers screenplay and fleshed it out in pen & ink and paint. The resulting art from Ralph McQuarrie formed the foundation of one of Hollywoods most enduring film franchises: Star Wars. McQuarries original interpretations of Lucas ideas have long fascinated Star Wars fans. Portfolios and books showcasing the illustrations are prized possessions of collectors, who remain intrigued by a Star Wars Universe that might have been. Now, Kenner/Hasbro has partnered with Diamond and Toys R Us to offer fans action figure sets based on McQuarries concept art. Each set contains six action figures, sculpted based on the concept art, giving them both a familiar, yet surprisingly different, feel. Set 1 includes McQuarries versions of Han Solo (who bears more than a passing resemblance to a young George Lucas), Chewbacca, Obi Wan Kenobi & Yoda, C-3PO & R2-D2, and Boba Fett. Set 2 features Concept takes on Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Stormtrooper, Snowtrooper, Rebel Trooper and The Starkiller Hero, a character that evolved into both Luke Skywalker and his sister, Princess Leia, in the final draft of the first script. Highly sought after by collectors, these figures have been previously available individually  some only at Star Wars and pop culture conventions and through select websites  and many fetch high prices in the collectors aftermarket. Now, this release collects all of the McQuarrie Concept Action Figures in two convenient sets in one assortment.
