Another VC Jawa Palitoy found

It's interesting to read on the RS thread that some people think that this item has been forged. I know the last one went for a lot of money but wouldn't it be easier and worth more money to forge Head man or Blue Stars? It just seems like an odd figure to go to all the trouble with. Also I think it would be next to impossible to somehow make a flawless reseal of it as you would need the card back with the right shaped bubble that had little to no damage or a Palitoy 12 back Jawa card that has never had a bubble attached to it. I say this as the placement of the cloth caped Jawa bubble is always higher than the VC shaped bubble which means there's no real way of marrying up a Kenner VC sealed Jawa to any cloth caped Jawa card back without seeing some sort of damage to it. It does feel like people are just unwilling to except that there's more than one of these (or any), in existence. I think as one has been graded it's too much of a stretch to believe that there are others out there for some reason.

Maybe if the seller came forward it might help to put peoples minds at rest about it but I'm not sure I'd be totally happy about sending this item off to be graded just in case something happened to it.
 
I'm just glad a thread I started has so many replies

That's all that matters to me the rest is just bollox

:lol:

the discussions on rs in general are rubbish.

Funds not a problem, cant wait to see what other goodies they have too - this auction stuff is exciting :)
 
Well.

All his talk on RS about last years Palitoy Vinyl Cape Jawa and Darren and I don't get a mention. :evil:

I bloody took the pictures- was the only one who saw it out of the cabinet and was there with a mate who's been collecting since 1977 who also confirmed its real. I even got Joiner to take it out of the cabinet and was the only guy given the opportunity to photograph it as it was in a 'no photos' area.

I then spoke to Darren about it for 30mins, and don't get a mention.

Well, well well. My Star Wars ego is on the floor.

The Palitoy Vinyl Cape Jawa is real.

Why?

Because I said so.

:evil: ...........

:lol:

Just kidding. :lol:
 
I don't like having a vintage star wars bad boy reputation. It hasn't brought me any slave leias.

Feel like Mike Barns fro Karate Kid 3 :cry:

:oops:

:lol:

FM ...mate, I for one am suitably impressed with your involvement, great stuff bud, pick that SW ego back up and get it back on the shelf. Top stuff mate :D
 
Cheers bud- I'm only joking though- it relates to threads of yesteryear and not serious.

Palitoy vinyl cape Jawa is the hero collecting needs right now.

But not the one it deserves......

No worries

Made me laugh though, I'm trying to pick up a ROTJ Jawa , budget ...even reseal. If I get that it's like a VCJ to me :lol: :lol:
I went out for a meal in Manchester last night with the family, got bollocked for talking to a homeless guy, gave him a fiver, his response was " thankyou very much I really appreciate that" turned out he was quite a learned articulate bloke, who's wife left him for another bloke, he went to bits, on the booze...guess the rest

So it's all relative I suppose, reseal jawa will do for me :wink:
 
What this all about ?

I don't remember this

"Another worry on SWFUK was a thread on somebody making bloody convincing Palitoy reseals. There was a lot of high-fiving and kudos being threw at the customiser doing this and that is certainly a concern. "

On a side note....I think Darren and Jason are in love.

I've asked that question on RS. It's probably the thread from tfb about making refurbished MOCs.

If that is it..they twisted that one. I would find it amusing they would be all over me fixing cardbacks, but endorse buying poon repros.
