It looks like something maybe given away at an event, I got some signed star wars thing similar to that when I met Darth Vader when a toy shop opened near me...

Does anybody know anything about it? Was it given away in toy shops or in Roboskull boxes? The interesting thing is it's signed on the back.

I've got another one which is signed by Baron Ironblood as well.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this is interesting, looks like it could have been a toyshop tour promotional item, which would be very cool to learn, as I've been told there really wasn't anything like the Darth Vader tour for Action Force.

In short, palitoy had a roadshow for Star Wars, hired a tall actor to play Darth Vader and a Palitoy Marketing Assistant dressed as Boba Fett and visited toy shops around the country. Posters were often given out and then signed by the guys in costume. With the Marketing guys I'm in touch with, they never done that for Action Force, but this perhaps shows that they did?

Here are some shots of the Darth Vader tour....
