Interview / preview of The Vintage Collection Archive Edition Book

Jerry Hancock, from the Georgia Alliance of Star Wars Collectors (GASWC), sat down with Rich Alot and Derryl DePriest, co-authors of the upcoming Vintage Collection Archive Book, and talked about this exciting project and its importance in documenting the creation of the The Vintage Collection toy line. The Star Wars The Vintage Collection Archive Edition book is a comprehensive historical manuscript and detailed visual archive of one of Hasbro’s most popular lines of 3.75-inch Star Wars action figures, The Vintage Collection. Some of the book’s pages were shown for the first time during this conversation. Additionally, they talked about some of Derryl’s time working on the Vintage Collection at Hasbro when he worked there.
