[Dr_Ball_MD]

Not recent but just cleared out a drawer at work and found a folder full of nicely flattened Episode 1 Walkers crisp packets, forgot about them they've been there for 11 years :lol:

 

[Lee Gregory]

Been way on me hold for 2 weeks so been a bit quiet on the boards recently.

Got home yesterday to find 2 packages waiting for me,both skipped through customs which was nice I'm grateful to both sellers for marking both items as low value.

1st up a nice minty c-9 ESB21 back Leia proof

Those of you who know me will know how pleased I am to pick up another Palitoy 30 back

A nice 30 back Bespin Leia,shame about the yellow bubble but can't be too picky when it comes to Palitoy MOC collecting.

 

[saber]

lovely ESB Proof Lee :shock:

Is that your first proof?

 

[stevemac1976]

Well finally the wait and the mystery are over.

See my new item below. And to be honest i am so chuffed to actually own this amazing peice of SW manufacturing history.

Steve

 

[Paul-itoy]

Steve, that is something I have never seen before. You must be well pleased?

Weird optical illusion going on there too - the cast looks proud of the mould, but obviously it is recessed.

 

[stevemac1976]

Paul,

i had to look at the pics again and yes there is a weird optical illusion going on.

Steve

[burnsy]

Amazing new addition Steve.

Congrats mate, really chuffed for you.

Lee, lovin that Pali Leia mate.

I've had a few new additions but my laptop died so I'm having to use my I-phone.

Will get some photos up when I get my new laptop.

Keep em coming lads.

 

[spoons]

some killer pieces there chaps - Lee are doing a side focus on Leia, that's a great proof? And Steve I take it the new job pays well :mrgreen:

 

[Josh]

:shock: **** Steve...you don't muck around mate.
And Lee that is one very nice proof bud. And the 30back aint to shabby neither
Awesome stuff lads.

 

[Capetown]

Wow Lee and Steve, simply amazing. :shock:

Steve, how many of these are known to have survived?

Thanks for all of your comments guys.

Capetown - as for how many - this really is a difficult one to answer. As far as i am aware the chewie silicone mold pictured and the leg ones that i am still in the process of acquiring are the only ones for this figure. Although other manufacturers molds may be available. As for other figures - i really have no idea. I have seen in a thread some where the silicone molds for chirpa. But to be honest they are rare as rocking horse ****.

I am planning on starting a thread on here and TIG to showcase proto and pre production stuff.

If you guys think it is a good idea let me know and i will sort it

Steve

 

[DarthStanley]

I forgot to mention Lee's stunning Leia proof & MOC,congrats mate! 8)

 

[Capetown]

Good idea steve.

Do you have the arms too?

 

[Caswellbot]

Simply awesome Steve. What a great addition to your collection. They dont get much better than that Im sure!
Serious Congrats! 8)

is the AT-AT an ongoing restoration then, or just replacement guns?

 

[Imperial nut]

Hey Ponchobelt

as asked before are they spare chin guns??? i am also on the hunt for pretty much any loose part that can fall off an AT-AT.
Do you have any leads/ideas or i am i biting off more than i can chew???

i cant seem to source any on fleabay

steve

 

[poncho]
