ANTHO(mo)LOGY box set from Pocket Factory

Vintage Star Wars Stormtrooper action figure (1977) 10 cm.
Microstigma Rotundatum dragonfly (origin: Peru)

Created in a Parisian workshop using authentic entomological specimens and vintage action figures adapted from the Star Wars saga, these display cases pair farmed beetles or butterflies from all four corners of the globe (Thailand, Cameroon, Indonesia, Philippines) with characters produced by Kenner from 1977 to 1985.
In this "neo-cabinet of curiosities," each figure finds its bestial avatar, winged mount, or combat partner for an intergalactic odyssey... bursting with color.

Glazed display cases, Ethafoam (polyethylene foam) backing, labeling, and entomological pins.

Delivery via private carrier; no postal shipping due to the fragility of the display case.
