| Clipper Return of the Jedi Figure Display Rack | |
| For the last 20 odd years, this display has served its purpose in a toy collector shop in Amsterdam ("A Space Oddity"). It was acquired originally from a small toy store in Belgium where it was also still in use (presumably in the late eighties or early nineties). This display rack was used by Clipper for the Return of the Jedi action figure line.
What I find strange is that the very top and bottom rows of metal hangers are offset when compared with the neat three middle rows. I.e. the bottom row only has 2 hangers which are more centered, and the top row has three hangers but the left one is attached more to the left and the right one more to the right than the middle three rows. The cardboard is pretty self explanatory and says "free great bounties" at the top. Then it goes on to explain how many "names" (you had to cut the name plates from the carded figures as proof of purchase) you needed to send in for any of the toys pictured. At the bottom it says: "already from 4 names onwards (cut out from the blistercards) you can apply for a free bounty. Read all about it on the blistercard." I haven't studied the details yet, but I am not sure the toys pictured on the cardboard where mentioned on any of the black wraparound Clipper stickers on cardbacks. I know that Admiral Ackbar and Nien Numb were mentioned on these cardbacks, but the cardboard mentions Teebo and Klaatu. |
