Yes, was watching this too.
Okay, here goes: finding a figure like this with the unpainted area is not that rare, unusual but not rare. Having said that, it is Boba Fett and there are loads of collectors who will want it.
The key to this figure is the orange area on the leg - I really want to say this is discoloration. It happens on figures of this age and sometimes the effects are really weird but I'm not so sure on this figure, it does look like the paint. never seen one with this kind of pain application before.
If it is straightforward discoloration then you're looking at anything between £50-£100. If that is paint then who knows, a Fett collector might go even more than that.

Initially I thought it was a limb swap, not sure now but I don't like the look of the darker pouch

My initial thought was exactly that but the plastic on both legs match really well, both the same tone with wear that also looks right.
That orange is really puzzling...

No wear on either pouch but rubs on most of the other areas.
It's strange as the coo leg pouch almost looks like the Hong Kong colour, degradation usually leads to that flouro yellow IMHO

Thanks for your advice. He was bought from a supermarket in the early 80's. He was well played with when I was a kid and has been sitting in a box ever since. He has not been altered in anyway and only recently re-discovered during a clear out. He brings back lots of great memories!
