Box front from an original vintage Kenner TIE Fighter, autographed by its prototype designer, Jim Swearingen. Ready to be framed.
All box fronts are 100% original vintage from 1978.
Jim Swearingen was a young designer for Kenner when they were approached for the Star Wars license. He worked on the prototypes for the first 12 figures, X-Wing and TIE Fighter. He was instrumental in the switch to 3.75" figures, stating that he wanted kids to be able to hold ships in their hands and create dog fights. You may recognize Jim from The Toys That Made Us on Netflix.
We're very fortunate to have worked with Jim on a selection of autographed items.
Includes a Certificate of Authenticity from 4th Moon Toys.
Please review pictures carefully, as that is the exact item you will receive. Just so you know, I didn't cut these out, I received them as part of childhood collection.
NOTE: All purchases made during our Holiday Special will be shipped at the end of the Event.
