Just managed to get my hands on these two gems. Ralph McQuarrie's Concept Exclusives, consisting of "what would have been" R2-D2 with C3-PO, and Luke Skywalker. These figures were on sale (or practically given away!) at the recent Star Wars Celebration IV held at Los Angeles from the 24th to 28th of May 2007. And where was I? Wrong country, wrong time :(
Being based on "concept drawings", it's exactly because these characters didn't actually make it to the final movie cut of Star Wars, that makes them gems, to me at least.
For the current 2007 action figure collection (ok, TOYS if you wanna call them that), there's a whole host of Ralph McQuarrie (the guy behind the designs) Concept Figures including Chewbacca, Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Han Solo and a couple of others. An interesting year it shall be :)
