Apart from Yak Faces and Stormtroopers, i've not bought loose figures for a while... until now.
Got these off Dr_Ball_MD. They are super mint and were very reasonably priced. Cheers Mark.
ps. The R2's not new i was just having a bit of fun with my camera *forward slash* playing with my action figures. ;)

Nice Pete, I'm waiting on a delivery from Mark if they are in half as nice condition as those I'll be happy.

Great additions minty mint!

I love the way you can't resist having a play :lol:
 
Started (finally) getting somewhere with 3D pre production for my focus, lucked out on picking up this Internal Kenner bagged sample!

The ASSY most likely is "assembly" abbreviated and the 80 could well have meant to be 8D (8) and not a number - there was a Nikto sample as well in the find this came from with his name abbreviated to Nikt. so it figures the 80 is some attempt at the name 8D8.

This came direct (along with several other bagged samples and EP figures) from a Kenner Employee and into the hands of one of the big name proto guys in the US, got a nice little COA with it as well which I am chuffed with :)

Still hunting for those elusive first shots / protomolds but this is definitely a step in the right direction for me!

A super find Joe. What a fantastic addition to your collection mate. A truly unique piece. I love it. Keep up the hunt. As you well know, patience pays off in the end. :wink:

Well done mate. Well pleased for you! :D
 
Appreciate it fellas! Hopefully I can land a bigger piece sometime soon for the focus! :)
 
Congratulations on a fantastic find Joe- amazing piece mate :)

Is the figure a first shot, or a production piece?

Cheers Ed and Ham!

It's a production figure unfortunately Ed but possibly an early one, it was most likely sent back to Kenner from the overseas manufacturers as a Quality control sample, I will probably never know it's real purpose but I think he's awesome!

I also just picked up a wonky donkey Ledy 8D8, will fix his legs with some water lol

Good work Joe, I never thought I'd see the stapled sandwich bag variant with my own eyes! ;)
 
Nice work again Joe!

Been a while since I posted my latest purchases and have been saving myself for a bit so here goes :)

The ERG is super minty and doesn't have a yellow bubble (which is amazing). The other two are both in a bad way with small cracks in the bubbles, but both are 100% sealed. I don't normally buy damaged bubbles but they are really minor damage and I thought that for ****** characters I didn't really care and was a cheaper version of (trying) to get as many 65C's as I can!

Sorry about the **** picture but it was on my phone which isn't the best, but you get the idea :wink:

My first ever vintage Fett arrived this morning and is a major piece I was after and didn't think I would be able to get my hands on one this year!
