Return of the Jedi 45-Back (Transition Card) Luke Hoth
Outdated Kenner Canada ESB packaging was ingeniously updated to the then current ROTJ packaging through the use of adhesive stickers placed on the packaging front and back. A ROTJ logo sticker was placed overtop of the old printed ESB logo, while smaller (card front) and larger (card back) offer update stickers masked outdated mail-away announcements in favor of current mail-away promotions. The Luke Hoth carded figure shown above exhibits these characteristics making it a transition style carded Kenner Canada figure. As one can see, the updated logo stickers weren't always meticulously applied, so it's not uncommon to find imperfections in terms of sticker alignment.
