Another VC Jawa Palitoy found

[mr_palitoy]

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. "

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

cheers Jason

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.

I think they are mixing up the whole reseal/refurb/restored semantics?

If you have the original cardback and bubble, you can reseal along the bubble tear, placing the correct figure with coa marking and original weapon.
I have done this myself on a few cards. If the footplate is missing, I use the bubble cardback as it is the same colour and cut to size. These I consider
to be reseals and it's done all the time and not a problem in my opinion. It's very hard to do these seamlessly and I haven't seen one yet that would
pass close scrutiny.

Restored or refurbished would have reproduction weapons, figures, cardbacks or bubbles or any combo of those. Reproduction items should be clearly marked
as being reproduction so as not to fool inexperienced collectors. Ones which don't have these markings, I have a problem with, and I have already banned
their sale on my facebook group.

and that is exactly what our discussions led up to as far as what is acceptable and what is not. I think they also took a few jokes I made about asking how many palitoy jawas do you want me to make as serious. This is the reason I stay away from there...they can not take a ******* joke.

Regardless I blame Todd

I'm rather shocked that the SWFUK post on Todd's customising has been taken out of context and appeared on Rebel Scum's 'Palitoy VCJ' thread, as it was me pushing for the Palitoy customisations in the first place... and I certainly don't remember indulging in any 'high fives', as that isn't my kind of thing. As Todd says, it all arrived at an acceptable conclusion. It seems fair game to take half a story and run through town with it, screaming and shouting.

I'm trying not to get into the forum bashing scenario, too... we're all in it for these 3 and 3/4 inch plastic toys... but this image kind of sums up the content of the Palitoy Vinyl Cape Jawa thread on Rebel Scum thus far:

I think they miss me and are inviting me to come back for a visit. There is nothing wrong with reseals. As I have said before...If poon was doing it, it would be Ok. These guys choose whom to bash.

I bet anytime this forum is brought up over there....the RS MODS cringe as it's sort of inviting us over for dinner. :|

The RS thread is just gurgling down a plughole at the moment. As people fail to agree more endless speculation comes out.

Is trijunkie a poster on here?

The funny thing is 99% of them have no intention of buying it even if they were 100% sure it was real.

I have to agree, 100%.

I did actually join up on Rebel Scum just a couple of days ago, primarily to chuck in my two-penneth worth and to defend Jason in the onslaught of this whole 'can a Palitoy Vinyl Cape Jawa actually exist?' scenario. Then, I have to admit, I thought better of making my intentions known (I think Jason's man enough to defend himself).

I'm happy to watch from the sidelines. Eating my popcorn.

Yeah some Pali-envy as well I think. Some people don't seem to like the idea that non-Kenner rare stuff might be worth more than theirs ... now I think about it, same could apply to Uzays, some of the bootlegs etc.

Everyone to their own imo.

Thanks for the (kind of) back up. The Palitoy vcj threads have become easier to defend from the yes point of view over the years, as more and more sealed and opened examples come to light. I think the naysayers used to be a lot more vocal and numerous though.

But surely it stands to reason?

The United States of America= a very big country, with heaps of Kenner product.

The United Kingdom= a very small island by comparison, with less of the 'locally' produced Palitoy product available.

Turkey= that's a whole different ball-game. Are you sure you want to go down this route? The post count that will ensue if it's a 'yes' will please fun4kids and Grant, if nothing else... :lol:

I was thinking the exact same thing, in an earlier post Darren states "my interest in this is I one day want to own one but not one of the only two "confirmed" exanples, I do wonder if his posts are designed to try and ruin someone else's purchase.

Well I've just caught up with all that's been going on over on RS and it really does seem like this is a subject that just won't go away. The end of the day if I had the money to pick up the Palitoy VCJ and really wanted it in my collection then I'd probably go for it, send it to the AFA and get my money back if it turned out to be fake, it really does seem as simple as that to me. There are other carded Star Wars figures out there worth more than this and no matter who's had them in their collections before someone else gets them surly there's always going to be the slightest chance that they've also been forged (that's if you follow the logic of the Palitoy VCJ been forged). Like I said before it's all going around in circles.

I was surprised to read that my thread came up and Jason more than hit the nail on the head by saying that my figures would never fool anyone. They were never meant to but just look as good as I could repair them with original parts. Even the best ones I've put together would show up for what they are as soon as you put some UV light on them. It really was just a more affordable way for me to own a set that was a big part of my childhood. The only thing I slightly took offence to was being reffered to as a customiser. This is something I feel I've never done as I just repair the damaged card back (with maybe adding some bits and bobs from other original card backs..........oh wait does that make me a customiser?! :lol: ).

Anyway, thanks for your comment James and everyone else out there who passed on on friendly message on the original thread, it means a lot ( maybe no high fiving next time :lol: )

I'm pretty sure it was tfb's thread that was originally being referred to, then yours was quoted as a guess.

I'm not sure how much work Mr Slaters has had of late but if he can't afford it at least he can always get the next best thing from Todd, he has been known to fool the world with his work! :lol:

If they think this one is fake wait until I take my Kennitoy one to auction!!

Sorry for the mix up,my mistake . I could not recognise tiefighterboy's "how do i make neat stuff available for collectors on a budget without the risk of others getting scammed in the future" thread in the description so i thought it must have been your thread that was mentioned.
Seemed like a good idea to post a link so everyone interested could see your work is in no way harmfull or a reason for concern and actually deserves the "highfiving and kudos" that have been thrown.

By the way, kudos on your superb resealed Palitoy colection

Thanks for that Dieter, much appreciated! I'll have to get some more pictures up soon of how the collection has progressed, it's made quite a move forward.
