[QUOTE="Simply Sci-fi, post: 317071, member: 5480"] Great work. I would personally make a version with Darth Vader as the main image on the display, if you want to produce a “what if” from Palitoy. People could choose the Fett or Vader or both of them. It’s amazing that Boba Fett was barely mentioned in the publicity leading up to The Empire Strikes Back and was not even included in the film poster. Lando and the Tauntaun were introduced to the media but not Boba Fett. If not for the special offer from Palitoy, Fett would have been just one of a hundred minor characters in the film. Boba Fett has only become widely popular in the last decade or so and back in 1980 I doubt if he would have been selected as fronting the product line. I can imagine a display piece such as yours advertising the Bounty Hunter promotion with a tray to hold the booklets that were produced. A similar item was pictured in the ROTJ Palitoy competition but I have never seen one in the flesh (pic below). Craig. [/QUOTE]
