OPEN FOR ESB CONTRIBUTIONS

Fri, 29 Jan 2016 08:49:44 +0000

If you want to be a contributor to the next book:
The Cromalin Strikes Back – Kenner Star Wars Packaging Design 1980-1982
Please send me a message or e-mail directly: rendahl[AT]echobase.nu
We’re looking for Photo-art, Cromalins, Proof cards, QC’s, mock-ups, artwork for the offers and backs, 3-packs, EP packaging etc. Anything that has to do with the packaging design process. As long as it is Kenner 3 3/4 ESB related and/or got an ESB header it is of interest. SW characters with ESB releases are also of interest and will be part of the book.
This is going to be massive, so any info is also of interest. Especially if you’ve got a character focus and have kept track of exactly what is out there etc.
All info and contributions are very much appreciated. Just like A New proof, this will be a book by the community for the community.
Share, tag names and help us get this as extensive as we can smile emoticon

Cheers,
Mattias

It’s printed!

Sat, 28 Mar 2015 23:37:32 +0000

The book is printed and in hand! Got 3 samples before the main shipment arrives in a week. Pre orders will start the 7th of April,it will be released at Celebration Anaheim, and a limited amount of books can be pre ordered for local pick-up at the show. Click Order Book in the meny for purchase info.

It feels so surreal to have it in hand after spending 2 years working on it. It’s pretty huge. And the soft cover with the silver mylar rocks! Hope you all will like it as much as I already do
