Loose painted head Fett

[SublevelStudios]

Anyone else catch this sellers lots? A few loose variants all went for crazy money but I'm bowled over by the price this Fett went for! Are they really that hard to find?

It's just ridiculous, how can you justify that price.

**** me !!

I don't follow variants much these days but I can safely say that is the first time I've ever seen the metallic bespin blaster for sale, it's pretty much rare as rocking horse ****.

Always wondered what kind of price one would fetch.. :shock:

Well at least it should make this piece I have worth a few extra quid (not that I'd sell him).

First Taiwan figure was 65 back- I assume that is resealed with 'wrong' figure?

I picked one up for £60 roughly 18mths ago, and at the time saw 2-3 other examples sold on eBAY for £50-£70. I had the chance to buy a second one last year for south of £100 and passed it onto a friend.

It's another one of these things that not many people know about, Sergio who sold this one on eBAY has at least another 4 looking at the photos he's posted recently on FB. There's also another Spanish collector who posted a pic on FB of his spare Euro/PBP accessories and he has at least 5. I'm also aware of several other variant collectors who has multiples of the cool variant.

Yes they are RARE but deducting the DBRS "silly current eBAY price of £300-350" from the total it still means £500 for the gun.

At the end of the day CRAZY, however's buying these things will be in for a shock when they sell them :shock:

Well £60-100 is definitely more agreeable than £500 that's for sure! I always liked that particular weapon variant but had never seen one for sale so this really is a first for me but I agree, ridiculous price even for a rarity like that. Thanks for the info on those past sales Walkie, do you have any links to them?

I've noticed a few people mentioning the high prices this guy gets for his stuff, if he's not up to something fishy with shill bidding etc then he must just have the knack! (PS where did Greg's RS thread go?)

I first learned about this figure in march when a friend showed me 2 of them in his collection.

I watched all his auctions sunday but I did not win any of them

@Joe, I don't have links to any of the old eBAY sales sorry

RS thread was deleted as it made no sense because the auction links are not allowed. Pity as a few posts I found 'interesting'....

Maybe I should list it as a miss card then? :lol:

Ian, that Fett is truly sexy, if indeed you could describe an action figure as sexy.

 

[Hothrebel]

Some of those prices are fooking insane !!

 

[phreatobite]

Almost makes me want to sell my DBRS... but no, never.
