From what I read in rebelscum, the figure in the toyfair is just a prototype - the same exact figure featured in the magazine. Whereas the one in EE is the final product since they even include pics of it boxed :D

I think the real reason is role-playing toys are especially made for kids, the major buyers for toys( like most stuff made under HASBRO or any major toy company )....& kids dont really care about the detail of the toy.

My 8-year old son love his lightsaber,blaster & chewy's crossbow...even though theyre not movie accurate etc..

I think thats also the reason there's still companies jumping into making SW stuff... like Master Replicas, Icons etc....who makes more realistic stuff for Adults,Collectors alike & succeed in making a name for themselves ;)

just my 2cents worth bro :)

no bro.....never saw any Star Wars stuff in any kind of Toy exhibition/convention here back in the 70s-80s.

Even the first ever if I can remember is at the Phoenix Hotel in 1975-76?? did'nt include the vintage stuff because it was a year or 2 before Star Wars came to the movies....Im not sure bout the year...I was around 11 or 12 that time. Mattel & Kenner launched the first Barbie & GI.Joe toys here....& I think it was done to promote & get a distributor here :D
