A charity auction launched today by the Toy Industry Foundation (TIF) provides the opportunity for STAR WARS fans to own the hottest new collector’s item – Hasbro’s STAR WARS AT-AT – before it hits toy store shelves in the coming weeks. Proceeds of the auction will benefit TIF programs that provide much-needed support to charities supporting children at-risk, abused, abandoned, ill or otherwise in need.
The auction on Givingworks.ebay.com began at noon (EST) today and features two of Hasbro’s all-new STAR WARS AT-AT vehicles. The auction will close at noon (EST) on Monday, July 19.
After a bit of teasing, today we reveal the exclusive Fan T-Shirt that we will be giving to attendees of our joint Yakface/SWAN Celebration V Fan Party next month. There maybe a few final tweaks to the design/colors before they are printed but shouldn’t differ too greatly from the above. A huge thanks to illustrator Kevin Graham for lending his talents to the design. Click the image for a closer look!
