I could probably post 30 or 40 pages similar to this one, including pictures of star wars molds, prototypes, unproduced figures etc etc etc
the star wars archives are immense with similar pictures to these, literally hundreds of them !
so the point of this post ????
where are all the action force pics ??????
surely similar pics must exist of the action force range ?
I'm working on it
in truth though, there is a big difference of circumstances, Star Wars was all handled and project managed through Kenner in the US, which survived the break up and continued to produce some great popular toys for the time like Real Ghostbusters and Batman Animated, The Palitoy Company got broken up in pieces, Chad Valley went to Woolworths, Airfix to Humbrol and what was left to Hasbro pretty much. The feeling was of great betrayl from the US, both against the holding group General Mills and the lack of no new Star Wars films, the company could not plug the gap with something new, so collapsed.
They pretty much destroyed or gave what was left away, who knows what else was in there, but given the line was heading to be more in line with GI JOE, it's doubtful there would have been much new UK product development or original deisgns like the Sealion/ Roboskull etc.
