In 2000, Hasbro released a preview of their "Power of the Jedi" line at Toy Fair. The amazing part is that each of the packaged toys were handmade conceptual mockups! The artwork on these were significantly changed prior to production. Photo credits at the end.
There are a number of figures shown on the card backs that were not released in this line. Lott Dod was originally planned for an Episode I release, but delayed until Saga. Holographic Nute Gunray and Obi-Wan (Gungan Swamp) are figures that were developed but never released.
Do you own any of these unreleased mockup figures? Please post pictures of them!

What a wonderful collection of photos capturing these mock-ups! It’s always so fascinating to see how designs progressed to the ones we find on shelves. I can only dream of having the opportunity to acquire some of these. Thanks for sharing these photos!
Here are a few pieces I have been able to track down over the years with much thanks to some great people!
Love it, wish I had a mock up with this cardback! Very cool
