Read Five Designs have been working tirelessly to bring you this book and get this project to this point, it's been very exciting. Our aim of bringing Star Wars collectors and fans the most in-depth toy guide of the vintage Kenner Star Wars line is almost here.
When our project achieved its Kickstarter backing the book was at 300+ pages with 4,000+ images. After the Kickstarter a lot of doors opened for us as well as peoples collections, between lockdowns we travelled the UK meeting collectors to photograph rare and standout pieces for the book, which has now grown to over 500 pages with 6,000 images.
As the book grew the chapters became even more comprehensive through thorough research and guidance from experts in their collecting field.
Throughout the book, we cross-reference items so collectors can jump through the pages and see every way in which these figures were available, with colour-coded sections. With chapters covering Variants, Baggies, Mail Aways, Multipacks, Accessories, Coins, Droids and Ewoks sets, 12" figures as-well as their packaging, with the exciting inclusion of un-produced proof cards, and even a preview to "Volume Two".
Thank you for taking the time to look at our project.
