C-3PO 12 Inch Hand Painted Rusted Mock Up With Provenience

[Vin3po]

Hey Guys

Well as a few of you know I decided to sell off a couple of my SW Moc's well this is what the funds helped purchase and I believe its justified to have a showcase of its own.

This is a truly 1 of a Kind Pre-production item , It has been wonderfully hand painted to give a rusted effect and glued together instead of Screwed by Kenner Designer Tom Troy , it has no Coo information like most of your first shots , but this is unique and much better than a first shot.

For the peeps who have watched the Plastic Galaxy DVD Tom Troy is one of the Kenner employees to be interviewed , he created the Droids Factory and Talks about it while being interviewed.

This is now my favorite C-3po item in my collection not to mention the most expensive one but hey not every day you can say you are the only person in the world to own a particular piece.

Cheers

Vince :wink:

Nice piece of history there and it's got the Toy Hunters name stuck with it for ever. Did you end up getting it from him?

Very happy for you, not every day you get to own a vintage one off

Hey Ian

Thanks for the comments , I didn't get it directly from Jordan. A fellow 3po collector stateside who has become a friend the last year or so passed it over to me , now if only I can snag some of his other items I have already purchased a few of my pre production items from him in the past and hope to continue. I also purchased an 3/4 3po Engineering Pilot from him which he was kind enough to write me up a nice letter of authenticity. I will show this end of the week when I manage to get back to my parents to open it up.

Thanks

Vince
