Least popular MoC

[theforceuk]

Nikto has to be up their for sure. Agree on Klaatu and Romba, thing with Romba is thier are always loads on eBay but he still seems to be a £80 - £90 figure.

 

[Mr-shifter]

Yak face. The card art is ****, the figure is ****, the price is ****.

It's just ****.

 

[x-pack]

The ones I never wanted that were everywhere - Chief Chirpa, Logray, Endor Rebel Soldier, Ree-Yees. All I wanted was a Jawa :roll:

 

[stormcab]

Just had a glance over a 92 Back to remind myself of all the figures, and surely the 3 "most pointless" figures have to be Imperial Dignitary, Amanaman, and Anakin? Then if I had to choose the worst of those 3 it would have to be Anakin. At least with the first 2 they have physical form and can be placed in a setting, whereas Anakin only ever appeared as a ghost, and who ever put that scene together with the toys?

 

[SAVORY100]

Klaatu without a doubt, Weequay has to be up there too. I happen to like both figures and cards actually, but they are always available cheaply and are rarely a sought after item... Weequay miscards aside!

 

[Leemcl]

Nikto loose and MOC are really getting rare. I assume this is for the staff to match with Yak or Barada. As with AT - ST and B Wing it seems the weapons are selling the figures.

 

[Snaketibe]

Klaatu! Klaatu! Klaatu!

I remember when I first got back into collecting vintage in the 90's one local shop had almost a whole box of carded Klaatus at £4 a pop, and they still didn't sell. I wasn't really collecting carded in a serious way back then so I repeatedly passed on buying one too. Mind you, I also passed on buying a perfect carded Takara C-3PO for £70 and a Tri-logo Boba Fett for £20 ... Does anyone have Doc Brown's phone number?

It's strange about Klaatu as i remember my parents back in the day sating how they had hunted high and low for him so i could have one Christmas morning.
It did take me a while to find a relatively decent 65 back Kenner Klaatu carded figuire for my ROTJ run.

I would also add Ree Yees to the list as he still seems cheap.

I recall back in the day that Klaatu was hard to get to start off with. There was a waiting list at hobby toy in Rochdale!

Oddly, we never ever had Klaatu in the Toy Shop so it was rare back in the day!

 

[scooternick]

Madine madine madine madine. He wouldn't have even made the cut as an action force figure!

 

[Robstyley]

General Noel Edmonds for sure. I bought one MOC cheap, soon sold it on. Very underwhelming figure, loose or otherwise :|

 

[peekaygee73]

Definitely Madine for me.

I can't believe all this talk of Klaatu being rare back in the day - my brother and I got one each from my Grandparents for Christmas '83 and I'm sure he was a pegwarmer! Sounds like they all went to West Yorkshire! :lol:

 

[SublevelStudios]

I'd also agree with Madine but I also HATE the Walrus Man card, looks less like a photo and more airbrushed. Was never much for the figure either, looks really cheap but it's grown on me over the years.

 

[Ian_C]

I'm surprised not more people said Rancor Keeper.

Who wants an elderly, overweight bald guy who cries when his pets die? For a Jedi figure, and their generally improved sculpting, he has a face almost as Fisher Price-like as Luke X-Wing too.

[olisuds]

Mainly some of the lamer Jabba's goons for me:
Weequay
Madine
Klaatu
Rancor Keeper
Klaatu Skiff
Prune face
Nikto
Barada

 

[olisuds]

If I'm going by just the card then i would add.

Walrusman
Hammerhead
White Bespin Guard
Cloud Car Pilot
Anakin
Imperial Dignitary

 

[chipsteak]

Klaatu. Apart from being a 'one of a few too many' background Jabba's Palace figures, the cart art is truly shite. What is it, a ****ing water-colour? I got one for £6.40 delivered. It was sold as 'Star Wars figure in box' or something. The guy sent it in a paper envelope and it arrived totally ding or crease free.

I'm not huge on MOCs but I buy the occasional cheap one. So, it's a good job I love Lobot and got a right beater one for a song. He's on an ESB card with a Coin Offer sticker, meaning he was on a peg for at least three years. I'm surprised he's seen as a bit of a turkey. He's from Cloud City, wears headphones, and he has Stormtropopers on his cardback. I blame his girly blouse.

 

[Mr. Bob A. Feet]

The older and uglier I get the more I like the least popular guys and just bought a minty Prune face MOC

But I'd say Weequay, Nikto and Klaatu are the least 3 popular from what I've seen

These are the only m-o-c, not very mint on cards, I have, bought from a market stall selling birthday cards and such about 1996-7, my sister popped round one day with her friend and her friends kid had some klaatu's with accessories , I said where did you get them , (woman down the market selling them for £1 a card.) I shot down there and these were the last one's left, but think they were all old, bashed up peg warmers. Did ask if she had anymore , she said she may have had one more box in the lock up for her old market days, but never saw her again, should have followed it up. But was a long time ago now I think it shows the unpopularity of these as they were the very last dregs left but I like them, as its like finding treasure :lol:
