Item Description
Complete set of six pieces of photoart created to illustrate the box for Kenner Star Wars: Micro Collection - Bespin Gantry Action Playset. Each consists of masked photo w/airbrushed bkg. and touch-up edits to image, photo sheet mounted to large display board and covered w/acetate sheet and black paper overlay, each bearing label of Cato Johnson Associates, Inc., the Cincinnati, OH based firm who designed the packaging for Kenner's Star Wars toys. Boards measure between 9x11.25" and 12x15" and each black paper overlay has handwritten "Gantry" notation and each board has registration marks for photography and tape strips w/handwritten measurements and other notations. Photoart includes main box scene showing complete Action Playset w/the four included die-cast figures (two different for each Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker) w/airbrushed Bespin bkg. scene. Others feature a different angle of playset w/figures, two different showing the four figures on their own and two others w/human hand included to illustrate the "Action" features of the playset. Paper overlays show some wear, but all photoart remains clean and Exc. Unique opportunity to own a complete set of photoart for this iconic Micro Collection piece.
