| Stormtrooper (Carded-Version 2) | |
| Polish carded figures are few and far between so to see one of these is a rarity.
These figures have been a bit of a mystery for some time and in order to help
organize them they were lumped with 2nd
generation figures. The odd thing about this one is that it came with a
1st generation Stormtrooper. The generation was not known until the "socket
test" was performed. Because of this some rethinking might need to be
done. It is now entirely possible that these are just later cards but might have
come containing some of the same figures on 1st generation cards. My best guess
would be that figures that looked most similar to 2nd generation figures on Stormtrooper
cards or 3rd generation figures, but with cone shaped pins, would have been
the ones to come on these cardbacks.
The next shots affords us a nice view of the back of the card. You can see that like their 1st generation counterparts the backs are blank with the exception of a factory stamp.
The final shot shows us a close-up of the stamp. I'd like to thank Pascal for taking the time to share this rarity with the readers of the Archive. |
