Well it wasn't the black endor blaster that i was hoping for! Part of Jabbas arm fixing had snapped off and was rattling around inside... :( On the bright side i do at least now know how to perform a level 3 Jabba head extraction should the need ever arise again :D

'Hutt water' method it is! :D I'll post a picture of the 'haul' once extracted!

I love the line in the bottom left corner of the first image ... "This is probably the biggest single merchandising opportunity of all time." :lol:

Thanks for the advice guys... i'll attempt the hot water technique and see. Hopefully its not a cockroach but i wouldn't mind a skittle :lol:

Anyone know a safe (I want to re-attach it!) way to remove the head from a vintage Jabba figure? There is something rattling inside him that sounds like a weapon and knowing my luck it'll be a Leia pistol or one of the other rare ones! Cheers Jon

Hi there, Is the gold one not the pipe from the Jabba playset? Jon

Ok thanks guys, into the repro bin it goes. :cry: Ami right in thinking that the blue leia pistols are ok?

Just to resurrect this thread. I've come across another black leia blaster in the same style as above. It came with a small lot, all the accessories are pictured below (still dripping from the float test! :) ). They all check out as original, using both the imperial gunnery guide and the float...

Echo the comments above... missing out on items can be gutting but *sellers* are a necessary part of the hobby. Some of the most valued forum members must be buying at a good prices somewhere to be able to offer a lot of fantastic pieces at good prices on this forum. With a wife and kids, i...

Vintage at my car boot this morning - a madine figure and leg off tripod laser canon :lol: The guy charged me a £1 but went for it for old times sake. I was too young for sw the first time round so car boot sales are where I picked up most of my toys... Many happy Sundays returning home with...

Glad to hear its not just me! Thanks for the heads up mumbo, Dax doesn't match his ebay id so no way of knowing. Is there a thread on here i can direct him to as one last ditch attempt? Normally i'd just refund him and move on but i posted the figure this morning!

I've just had a guy cancel an ebay sale as he thinks my star wars figure is a fake thanks to Ebays guide to original coo's - http://www.ebay.com/gds/Spotting-Fake-Vintage-Star-Wars-Figures-/10000000019237856/g.html Basically according to this 'guide' anything with a china coo is a fake...

Hi guys, Thanks for the responses and links to other threads, i'll keep investigating. I'm probably being over paranoid... :D

Hi folks, I purchased a lot of figures recently and amoungst them were a couple of stormtroopers that i'm not sure about. The texture seems slightly off on one of them and i'm a bit suspicious of the paint opps on the arms and helmet.. not to mention the John Wayne pose of the one in the...

Pigcity - this is a big unanswered element in the whole thing for me too. 1) Why now? 2) Why the apparent haste in his posts to nail this on Toni first before investigating the full picture 3) The ironed bubble cards. JJ is the only one who is attributing these to Toni. Others have clearly...

Limerick in the face of adversity! Quality :D

I think an important discovery by Maulster79 has been missed in the last few pages: His came from JJ when they are being pinned on Toni. Apart from Maulster79 the only other established member of this forum that said they had a similar 'ironed' hoth trooper like this was Lee Gray - who thought...

The suspense ...... :D

Maulstet79 - just checked my three cards ( all German Esb GM) and none of them have the red dot. Leia bespin was bought direct from Toni last summer and Han Hoth & Bespin we're bought graded off ebay but I believe they originally came from Toni.

M4K3R1 - I see exactly where you're coming from and have tried to highlight this myself since the dodgy cards presented at FF4 we're added to this thread. It does feel like this thread is being railroaded into going after Toni as an individual. Our spotlight should be wider than that.
