Leia Pink Poncho Pre-Production Carded Sample Prototype. This is a very rare and highly sought-after pre-production piece and currently there are only 4 Leia pink poncho carded samples known and even fewer loose examples. It is carded on an earlier wave ROTJ 48 back Hoth Stormtrooper card. It was used to demonstrate how the figure would fit together with the card and bubble.
At the time the card backs weren't ready for the 77 back wave characters so they used a random character card back from a previous wave. The bubble is fully attached and factory sealed with waffle pattern all way round with no dents or cracks.The bubble is tinted which is hard to see from the photos but overall it's good for a ROTJ bubble and probably the clearest of the 4 known examples. 48 back Hoth Stormtrooper card unpunched and in overall excellent condition with no tears. There are creases to the card on the bottom right hand corner but they do not break the surface litho.
Venture price tag some examples somehow turned up in retail bins in Australia and USA. There is another example with a similar price tag. I'm happy to share further details and pictures with anyone interested.
