Path to the Dark Side Check Series

Manufacturer: Anthony Grandio Release Date: 11 Mar 2005 MSRP: 29.95 USD Country: United States

Description: "Path to the Dark Side", a limited production edition of Star Wars Character Checks, is the first check series ever produced to feature Darth Vader. This limited production series will only have one base stock printing on May 19, 2005 to coincide with the release of Star Wars: Episode III and will only be available while supplies last. The story of Darth Vader is distinctly told through eight key scenes chosen from the six Star Wars feature cinema presentations. Each time you write a check you will experience the rise of Darth Vader as Anakin Skywalker is transformed from young slave to the ultimate villian. Path to the Dark Side is more than just a check series-- it is a full Star Wars experience. Produced by The Anthony Grandio Company, Path to the Dark Side is unlike any check series you have ever used before. Each check is printed with Star Wars information on both sides of the check. The check front contains both a main image of Anakin Skywalker during his transformation to Darth Vader and the related background scene. The background scene highlights the moment that is key to Anakin's transformation during that portion of the saga. Both scenes are printed in full color and at a color intensity level that is uncommon to checks purchased through traditional bank check printers. The endorsement side of the check contains the Path to the Dark Side logo and a text summary of Anakin's transformation to Darth Vader as it relates to the scenes appearing on the front side of the check. Each check contains security features but unlike traditional checks these security features are not just generic bank statements. Each check features a set of completely different security features specific to Darth Vader and the moment of transformation featured on the check. The tone and coloring of each check turns more ominous as Anakin's fear, anger and hatred takes him further toward the Dark Side. Purchasers of the Path to the Dark Side Pre-Order will receive: A special commemorative certificate redeemable for one box of either one-part or duplicate wallet style check. A commemorative Path to the Dark Side checkbook cover that is exclusive to the pre-order. The Path to the Dark Side cover consists of the official Darth Vader in Flames--Episode III artwork stamped in a metalic red foil on black castillion vinyl and packaging exclusive to the pre-order.
