Nice example, Nick. Thanks for sharing :)

Yours almost looks like it was graded by Toy R Us :wink:

Alright rubish toy but makes a reasonable MOC IMO. I'm waiting to see someone post a POTF MOC with a clear bubble. :eek:

I wouldn't hold your breath, I don't think I have ever seen a clear POTF bubble.
Even the one that I owned back in the late 90s was yellow even then.

Yes mine was one of the first MOC I brought back in 1999 and was yellow then. Not relly got any worse though.

The sticker falling off is noteworthy in itself as all the TRU ones I've encountered have been well and truly attached to their cards. I hope it didn't leave any residue behind on yours when it went for a Burton? The card certainly looks nice and clean, but it's hard to be certain from the photo.

No real residual left thankfully, to be fair the sticker was hanging on by a thread when I purchased it.
I don't mind stickers falling off, its bubbles I worry about!

Despite what a lot of people say about this figure I have always liked it. Was one of my first last 17 figures, only last 17 I have boxed and had a few join the ranks of my Imperial Army

OK, Lars, so you have chosen Kenner's Old Woman for us this week then, eh? ;-)

I know a lot of people pour scorn on the Imperial Dignitary, and I have to say that I agree it is indeed a crap choice for a child's action figure, since it has all the action and excitement of a brick. However, I am also a bit of a fan of the figure from a collector's standpoint. Firstly, it's certainly bright and colourful, and stands out in any figure display, but also I'm still stunned to this day that Kenner bothered to make it at all! I'm glad they did, but I can't believe it sold in huge numbers! Perhaps they thought it would compliment the Imperial Shuttle and boost sales of that?

Anyway, here are mine. Another POTF like Nick's and Steve's, plus a loose complete with nose! :lol:

Imperial Old Woman - 01.jpg

The really weird thing about my Dignitary is that when flash photographed (like below), the torso suddenly looks discoloured:

Imperial Old Woman - 02a.jpg

However, when viewed in other light, it looks like this... perfect (I have tweaked this in Photoshop to show how it looks without a flash):

Imperial Old Woman - 02b.jpg

I can only assume there is some discolouration to the torso, but (thankfully) it is for now quite subtle and requires really bright light to show it up. Does anyone else have this issue with their Imperial Grandmas? :? :lol:

Wow, what a lot of love for Sim Aloo! :-D

That's a nice POTF card you have, and a very impressive collection of Imperial figures! Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks mate, have finally got round to start displaying my Army again after the move will post pictures once complete.

That bubble looks nearly clear, nice one!
And the loose one has a perfect nose, had to find like that these days.
