I found this on YouTube a while back, a stills vid. Doesn’t answer the question about the Vader signature itself but gives a little more insight into that time possibly... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77CYLmzL9R0

Quite similar to a post from 2014... http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=20133 Add a 75 grade to that.

Yep, a bit conflicted about it it’s actually giving me headaches :D . Definitely appears misshaped and rippled, slanted down on the one side. Yet also very tidy I can’t see why someone would of bothered to fix it or maybe they did a good job. Wish I had pics.

Yep, could be. I would of thought that dents and dings aside, bubbles could of easily left factories for stores with other defects. Hard to find evidence of this as it’s hard to prove I guess. A bubble grade of 75 suggests it hasn’t been deemed to be tampered with was my thinking. If it’s a...

Hi there, I just wondered if anyone has advice or insight as to what sometimes appears to be slightly melted or deformed bubbles on figures heat sealed with the waffle pattern. Was there scope in the factories during the vacuum in the making of bubbles or during the heat sealing process itself...

I get a buzz from both, I get the most nostalgia from the Palitoy logoless cards and I’m not sure why exactly (more of them in my hands at the time probably). I have some vague memory of the Palitoy logo being on some, maybe. I had R2-D2 with sensorscope and C-3PO with fixed limbs bought me at...

Ok mate, will message you. Cheers

Hi there, Top condition loose vintage Jawa for sale... (SOLD) Back in 2000 I purchased a very cheap and badly damaged Kenner carded ROTJ Jawa at the NEC. This figure has been owned since new, figure has been stored away and never been displayed. The cape has never been removed. No paint loss...

My very first memory of anything Star Wars was when I was aged 3... a neighbour who was a few years older was playing with a Stormtrooper or Stormtroopers in his sand pit/box. Vague memory but I remember they stood out from Weebles or Playmobil or whatever, very unique I remember thinking...

I used to have some Episode 1 and Episode 2 figures stored away all together. Bought in 1999/2000 and 2002. 15 figures maybe and at some point I packed them all together and stored them in darkness. When I opened the box after 5-10 years or so all were as normal bar one, Boss Nass... dark yellow...

Cheers for that, appreciate the help.

Very insightful. Could I ask what would be your hunch on the manufacture origin of the Palitoy ESB carded fat lips Bossk?

Yep, hard to find solid evidence of this particular Bossk being made in Spain. The earliest mint on card samples of this figure are the late 1982 Palitoy ESB 45b carded. One quick search on the web and a big lips Bossk can be found on the Mr Palitoy cardback guide as a legit example that was...

Thanks for the responses, Interesting stuff! I’ve never seen this particular figure (big lips Bossk) on a made in Spain moc or on a carded Poch/PBP card either. Only these Palitoy 45b backs. It appears from the research I’ve done (very limited research) the evidence of this being produced in...

Cheers, had it quite a while now. It’s just something thats been bugging me. One of those people that’s needs answers :D

...will add that this is the first figure I can remember being bought individually, on that cardback. Very sentimental to it. Certainly not bought for the PBP element... quite the opposite

Thanks for the reply, a very British answer straight down the line, like it! :D That's the way my mind is going I think regards these particular figs
