INTRODUCTION
Pictured here is an unproduced OOM-9 with Trade Federation Tank from the Episode One line. This was originally supposed to be part of the trophy assortment series exclusive to KB Toys stores. However, due to poor sales of the first figure in this series (Darth Maul with Sith Infiltrator) this set along with an Obi-wan with Gungan Sub were scrapped. The figure is a different sculpt than the released basic figure OOM-9, it's unpainted, and is cast in a color similar to a production basic figure. There are no copyrights on the feet but he does have
peg holes. The figure also comes complete with his blaster and binoculars along with its base and fully painted miniature Trade Federation Tank with a clear arm that attaches it to the stand. This set, along with the Obi-wan and sub, was very close to production as there are examples of fully painted figures in mockup packaging that have been found. Hopefully in the near future I will locate an example of the Obi-wan to showcase here in the Cargo Hold as well. I hope you enjoy checking out this cool piece of preproduction history that could have been.
