12 inch accessory advice

[Stuart Skinner]

As some of you are aware I won a job lot of odds and sods recently in the last vectis auction.

Within that lot there were a few 12 inch accessories. I know that Ben Kenobi's lightsaber is a common reproduction. Problem is I've never owned any if the 12 inch range and unsure of the weapons are legit. Everything I've come across regarding ship parts and weapons have all been legit so far so hoping these May be too. The two items in question are bens lightsaber and chewies strap and bag.

I do have other 12 inch accessories in the lot but haven't come across them today to hook out.

So any advice on these would be appreciated.

I have checked the imperial gunnery but the information on there for these items is a bit sketchy and has made me none the wiser.

they look good to me Stu, the bandolier looks good from memory but I don't have one to compare anymore - my old real one in the pic

the Ben saber looks the same as my Luke one -but yellow :wink:

Looking good to me sir.

Never come across a repro Chewie bandoiler but nothing surprise me these days.

But you're safe with both items here.

Damn Stu - I have both I could have compared against. At least I think I have the Ben lightsabre. If you sell it can you hold it for me in case I don't have it?

Had a very quick look (found my girlfriend's Christmas card that I forgot to write out :lol: ) and can't see mine. Will look better in the morning.

Have put it to one side rich, let me know if you need it.

No worries with anything there - although looks like your bandolier might be missing an ammo clip or two

As long as the the cartridges are not painted and the bag is not resin cast with a steel pin in the pack...you are all good.

Both look good to me although there are two types of Chewie strap. One is smooth on both sides and slightly shiny and the other type has a texture on one side which is dull and the other side is shiny. Also on the textured one where the slits that hold the clips in there are round holes at the both ends of each slit. The shiny one has just the slits with no holes. I've found that the shiny one seems to be most common with the made in Korea Chewie although I have seen examples of this one with the made in Hong Kong one as well. I also read that the shiny one has a smaller bag but I've got both versions and they look the same to me (maybe the bag was swapped out at some point or just what ever they had at the factory at the time. I'm not sure if one version was released before the other which might be the reason for the slight change.

Yeah it has got one missing, may well be in the box will have to have a look.

No not resin or painted so I'm going to take it these are legit.
