| Concept Artwork for Micro Collection Millennium Falcon Figures | |
| Seen here is a piece of conceptual art depicting the six figures from the Micro Collection Millennium Falcon toy. It consists of a piece of illustration board, onto which are pasted hand-rendered representations of each of the figures. You can get a sense of the scale of the piece by referring to the dime visible in the lower right corner.
Here's a close-up of the C-3PO figure.
This close-up shows the Han rendering. It's interesting because the figure that was packaged in this playset had a slightly different pose-- it was holding a pistol and facing forward. I'm not sure what the heck the Han in this painting is supposed to be doing. He looks like he's high-fiving Lando. It's also notable that the R2-D2 figure shown here is tilted slightly backward on its legs, not standing upright as the production figure was. In this respect, it resembles the alternate sculpting of the figure that has surfaced in 4:1 hardcopy form. |
