Butter's Whole mess of Fun Stuff Part 1

[buttersstotch]

So Lets get right to it.

First up is this very boring photo of a date code on a crosssell.

As you can see it says Feb 2007 Attacktix Intergalactic Showdown Cross Sell
Nothing too remarkable there...

Yes that surely appears to be a 12 figure series, waaa?


Odd. That in Feb of 2007 They were plotting series of 12 figures.
This paperwork did come from over seas, where it was found in a booster package
along with a Series 2 Decepticlone and a Super Optimus Prime.
So IGS is SWvsTF lets look at the SW Side of the Paperwork

12 more figures, ok makes sense.

Wait a moment, 2 of those Do not look right.
A Dark Blue Jacket on a Han Solo Figure, (Bespinish?) And a Blue Markings Commander Bly Figure



Now on to the back of the paperwork.

2007 Attacktix Marvel Crosssell.
Another 12 figure Set


Ok No Surprises in the names.

So Hawkeye is number 10, Well in the Marvel 2 QSG Hawkeye is number 4.

Yes this is my Production Hawkeye sporting the Label number matching up to the 12 Figure assortment.

So concludes part one of at least 5 or 9

WOW! Those are awesome. Great find, but they just bring up tons of new questions (in addition of all the previous questions we had about the cancellation years ago)...

Were these to be released after SW5 and TF2?
Or was this set intended to replace the cancelled SW5, etc.?
Would SW and TF be in separate boosters or combined?
How do these fit into the timing of everything? When was SW5, etc. supposed to be released?

I also noticed that they removed the one thing (for the most part) that got me to buy tons and tons of booster packs - army builders. It seems like they were trying to strip things down and just offer the "stars" in an attempt to boost sales, which might have worked in the long run but would have decreased the amount that I purchased.

Butter, you definitely have a "Holy Grail" of Attacktix collectibles here. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

... and I don't know if I'm crazy, addicted or both but I want that Han Solo. Yep , I know, it's just a repaint of a figure we've received 3 times already but who knew that simply painting the sleeves of his vest into a jacket would look so cool.

Any other noticeable repaints on the SW or TF figures in these pix that anyone has noticed?

Did that Marvel page have any photos?

I'll snap a photo or two of the Marvel Side, Its mostly whats expected with a few odd choices thrown in.

I also have a whole mess of other nifty things to share.

Great stuff Butterstotch! Wow! Somehow I think this all ties into the "relaunch" Radar Reported that Brian Wilk spoke about.

[Radar]

It is very possible. Here is a 2007 video of Hasbro singing the Praises of Attacktix (and Star Wars) at Star Wars Celebration 3 and another a few months later at San Diego Comic Con.

2007 was a good year for Hasbro interviews....(4 years later still hoping and waiting for that relaunch.)
