In about 1985 i was walking round a market and saw a box full of these little ****ers and Klaatu for 50p each. Should have bought the lot :roll:

To be honest they'd only be worth £1.50 each now, probably less than inflation, so I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it :lol:

Fantastic focus, I didn't think it was possible to have so many different cardbacks for a ROTJ character. I bet they were all cheap as chips too!

You'd be surprised!

Well, relatively anyway. I can imagine a Luke Farmboy Meccano MOC or proof card would eclipse the price of a Ree Yee's one. But that's a good thing IMO! I never understand why people choose figures like Luke Farmboy or Boba Fett to focus on, even the cheapest MOCs cost a fortune.

 

[Spookedhippie]

Ah I see what you mean! Totally agree, I'm happy with ree yee, it seems a focus I can afford and has a lot of sentiment behind it

ROTJ figure focus collections are ace 8)

Agree. A real pain with yellow bubbles but for me some of the best figures of the franchise. (Squid Head, GGuard, Luke Jedi, ERGuard, Bib Fortuna, Leia Boush, Lando Skiff.. oh and all the Ewoks :lol: )

 

[edd_jedi]

Not sure why but I never really liked the ROTJ or POTF figures. Although the moulds improved and they looked more realistic than the earlier figures, I preferred the older less detailed ones. I couldn't pick between SW and ESB though, I love so many from both. Plastic capes rule

 

[PGowdy]

Always preferred the Jedi figures, by and large, partly because as you say, they're better moulds/more movie accurate but also because they're the ones i remember more vividly from childhood. For me, the Emperor's Royal Guard and Squid Head just can't be beat. Just near perfect figures.

Yellow bubbles can be a shitter on ROTJ figures I agree Pete, when I started collecting I kinda just accepted some were yellow and they never really bothered me but as time went on I found that when I went out of my way to actually buy clear and then they still turned yellow it really got to me. So I sold them all off!

This was my carded stuff before I got rid..

I only collect Trilogo 8D8's now partly due to the yellow bubble thing!

Yeah i have a small collection of clear bubble ROTJ mocs. They're tough to find but worth it. I have GG, ERG, Squid, Nien Nunb and 2 non ROTJ figs on ROTJ back with clear bubbles- Yoda and C3P0. I still really want Ackbar but not having much luck finding an offerless one with clear bubble. Would also like Bib Fortuna (impossible!), Luke Jedi and Leia Boush.

Only two of the above were actually yellow when I bought them, within a year or two either the outer or the inner tray had yellowed on the others. There are clear ones out there and I admit they look ****ing awesome when they are clear but clear bubbles come at a premium and I just felt that if their destiny was to yellow anyways there wasn't much point paying that premium.

Having said that I would buy a clear Canadian 65 back if I could find one. I would do my best to enjoy that sucker clear even if it was for 6 months!!
