Description

Star Wars Saga Series General Rieekan with Chart Table First Shot AFA 85+ Only Graded Example (Hasbro, 2004). Produced during the development phase of Hasbro's 2004 Saga Series line, this unpainted First Shot of General Rieekan offers a rare pre-production look at the tooling and assembly of the Hoth Rebel commander before final paint applications were approved. First shots are early factory samples created to test mold integrity and fit, often molded in contrasting plastic colors that differ from retail release versions. This example features a tan body paired with a darker tan head, clearly indicating its unfinished production state. The included chart table accessory is molded in gray, further reflecting its test-phase origin prior to finalized deco. Together, the figure and accessory provide a clear window into the manufacturing process behind a character central to the Battle of Hoth sequence in The Empire Strikes Back. Graded AFA 85+ NM+, and noted as the only graded example on the population report. A singular pre-production artifact from the modern era, capturing a key Rebel leader at the earliest stage of his journey from tooling room to toy aisle.
