Hot off the heels of part 4 of Generation Skywalker’s Guide to Palitoy, we’re back with more Palitoy talk. In this episode Brian Hickey joins us to discuss his latest Kickstarter Project for a new book titled TOTAL STAR WARS TOYS: THE PALITOY SAGA.

Brian shares the scope of what the book will cover, what his approach to it has been it, as well as the challenges and his passion for the project.

He provides insights on research he has been conducting for this book, this includes in-depth interviews with numerous ex-Palitoy employees and collectors, a treasure of never before seen images given to him and the opportunities he has had to view and photograph rare Palitoy items for inclusion in the book- such as a prototype of the Palitoy Death Star

The Kickstarter campaign launched on the 28th February and funded in less than 24 hours, hitting its first stretch goal less than 2 days later.  The campaign ends at  17:00 on the 30th March 2025 with several more stretch goals to unlock along the way.

Brian shares full details of the campaign including the remaining stretch goals, the various tiers backers can pledge at, what backers can expect  the final book will look and feel like, and when they can expect to receive the final product.
