Revenge of the Jedi Han Bespin Cromalin
Featured above is a cromalin for the Revenge of the Jedi 3 3/4" Han Bespin action figure packaging. The film's title was changed to Return of the Jedi, so action figures with the main Revenge logo were not released. This cromalin is even more special since it is offerless compared to the Revenge of the Jedi Proof Card. Cromalins play an extremely important part in the creation of toy packaging. Notes are often found on cromalins to indicate changes that need to be made before the final version is approved. Suggested changes vary from piece to piece, but range from text absence, necessary color changes, etc. The picture clearly conveys the vivid colors exhibited on cromalins.

Nick has assembled a remarkably comprehensive packaging prototype series for the Han Bespin packaging as shown above.
