The light-side pieces are situated on tan bases and include recognisable characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Queen Amidala, Jar Jar Binks, and R2-D2. The dark-side pieces are on black bases and include Darth Maul, Nute Gunray, several Battle Droids, and a Droideka. The original cardboard box, featuring a sunburst graphic and Star Wars Episode I branding, is included. The lot also contains a Marvel Hero Origins Story Collection hardback book, which features an assortment of superheroes on the cover and includes a set of tattoos as indicated by the circular sticker. Completing the trio is a Beatrix Potter hardback book titled A Very Naughty Rabbit: Tales of Mayhem and Mischief, featuring vintage-style character illustrations.
