Probably the Most 1999 Phantom Menace Collectible I Own
Was reorganizing some old Star Wars stuff and rediscovered this sealed 1999 Hasbro Nute Gunray figure. What makes it really fun is that it’s signed by Silas Carson, and it still has the original Plano, Texas expo sticker from October 23–24, 1999 attached to the packaging.
It genuinely feels like a preserved artifact from peak Episode I insanity.
The combination of:
• the old CommTech-era packaging
• a Trade Federation character
• the actor signature
• and a random late-90s collectibles expo sticker
…makes this thing weirdly charming. It’s like something you’d find in a dusty glass display case at a comic shop that hasn’t changed since 2002.
Thought some collectors here would appreciate it.
I ended up listing it here in case anyone’s interested in giving it a new home:
