Carded red coat Bib Fortuna

[Anonymous]

Hello all

New to the forum and finding it very interesting. Been collecting vintage star wars for a few years now - ever since I rediscovered my sons collection in the loft!
At a car boot yesterday I picked up a sealed carded red coat Bib Fortuna. Certainly a bootleg. It's far too clean and new-looking to be anything like original (if such a thing even exists), but have to say it's nice.
Any idea of value - I won't say what I paid for it, but it wasn't much?
Thanks all in advance.
I've uploaded 3 pics to ImageShack:

Worth as much as a loose bib with a cardback and damaged cape.

as far as i know is the red coat bib a prototype (it's a one of a kind and probebly locked up in someones collection for a long time already)

so this must be a custom job , what's it worth well not much same as a loose fig bib i'd say

That is a repro,

The burgundy cape squid (Lili Ledy) is faked all the time and that is worth as much as a loose bib, no more than a few quid im afraid.

Thanks all

I know its a repro, just never seen one in the flesh before. And a few quid is all I paid so no damage done there.

Cheers

It turned up at my bootsale on Sunday...along with a carded Sy Snootles!!!!

 

[Caswellbot]

Carded Sy Snootles indeed??? :roll:

At least the seller was selling them for cheap at a car boot and not trying to rip people off. :wink:

Very odd...............

It must be the rarer foreign carded Sy snootles- no Kenner logo :lol:

 

[Caswellbot]

Mmmmm. Logoless. :roll:

On the plus side, the figure inside looks quite nice!

Would have been cool if back in the day, the 3 rebo band figures were sold separately

 

[Caswellbot]

Yeah I agree. I would have liked to see the cards. Especially for Max Rebo. I could he would have looked great. It would have had to havebeen an over sized card though to fit his organ on. 8)

BEST>POST>EVER! :lol:

 

[Caswellbot]

What? He does have a large organ according to Sy Snootles. :wink:

Looks like a custom card to me. There are loads of these on ebay. One guy even makes custom figures with custom cards - Salacious Crumb carded, Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru, Blue Snaggle carded etc. And i have seen Max Rebo carded too, without keyboard.
