The crew at POTF2.com has posted, courtesy of VolkerC, a shot of the “missing” battle packs shown in the presentation at Toy Fair 2012. As you will see, the figures in the Bespin Battle set and Duel on Naboo set are all new sculpts, but there is a catch. They have limited articulation, harkening back to the 77-85/1995 POTF2 era. Head on over to POTF2.com for a closer look then voice your opinion on these in our forums.
A few people have sent in questions regarding source material for the “lost line” look that Hasbro will be using on 6 of the individual cards included in SDCC Exclusive Carbon Freezing Chamber set (and on Limited Edition chase/variant cards available later at retail).
For the answers, look no further than The Star Wars Collectors Archive web site for illustration images of this abandoned concept to the iconic 1977-1985 Kenner packaging design we know today.
As you’ll see, the new cardbacks are very faithful to the original concept and exude that “70’s” feel.
