Re: Vintage Collection Extras - NEW: 15 cardbacks (ANH, ESB, ROTJ)

I've finished three more Vintage Collection cards...this time from Return Of The Jedi...

The first two are recards of "missing" TVC figures for which I updated the quality of the cards...Bib Fortuna and Imperial Gunner. The Imperial Gunner is a composite pic with a new background, but I think the end result came out pretty nicely...





The third one is a new cardback...one of my favorite pictures from ROTJ...would have been so cool if Kenner/Hasbro had used it in the past...



I didn't customize the figures for these three, they're straight repacks (the Luke is the Saber Construction TVC version).

Lol....indeed Artie. ;) Currently I'll continue focusing on getting the first vintage line updated (28 of 52 left)...but it's also a lot of fun to do other characters. Always enjoy especially the more obscure characters you're doing, great work! :)

I've finished another addition to my Legends figures from the Thrawn trilogy...a sympathetic Bothan politician we've all come to love.......not. ;)



The figure is from the Legacy comic pack, I've touched him up in a few places, especially the head and the shoulder pads, to match his apperance better to the card picture.

Apart from that I'm currently working on something new that's related to Germany and vintage figures, but I'm not done yet and having lots of problems with the material at the moment (I'm beginning to hate satin photo paper ;) )...

Great work. Borsk looks so great on our front pages.

I am intrigued by your two teaser images. Can't wait to see more.

Well...there were several vintage lines worldwide. The UK had Palitoy, France Meccano, Mexico Lili Ledy etc... In Germany the distributor was Parker, years ago pics surfaced of this flyer with mockups:



...note the Stormtrooper on the far right with a German logo. ;) However, this concept seems to never have been realized....well, until now, that is. ;) I've designed a new front and reverse side (full German text) for the first 12... I'm currently trying out materials because I'm using satin photo paper (instead of glossy) for the first time...

Thank you for the kind words! :)

Didn't have time to post an update before because I was away for a congress...I have now finished the designs for all of the "first 12" and was able to produce 8 of those in the meantime. I deliberately went with the same images as the original Kenner cardbacks for these, even though I'd personally probably prefer a few different pics (Vader, Obi-Wan, mirrored Luke, to name some) I thought it important to make these as vintage-looking as I could achieve (they're still clearly identifiable as customs, after all). I therefore did a few variant versions (haven't uploaded those yet) as well, for example Vader with a red saber instead of a pink one and a different Obi-Wan. So, without further ado, here they are:

....(removed the broken links, all are shown in a later post)...

Really liking this set you are putting together ! I know you are fond of using different pictures , and i agree it gives it a fresh look  but i am a bit more of a purist and for one am happy that you are keeping it with the original photos ! Fantastic work  as always !
