Oh dear, not quite as good as it should be.

Meh! :|

It's like one of my resto jobs! Entire bubble section and bubble has been replaced. It's not described very well. Price is a bit on the high side as it's essentially just a Palitoy cardback and loose figure. It's worth as much as those combined items ...whatever that value is

The thing I don't understand with it is that the bubble size is so far off. Wouldn't it have been just as easy to get the right size repro bubble?

They are available......but cost more...so he took the cheap route.

Shame, for those few extra pence he could have made a sale.

Also as a side point I once saw a Palitoy Sand People 12 back for sale with the same bubble and the weapon taped inside. I tried to tell the seller that it wasn't legit but she took no interest and swore it was real (even though it looked pretty bad). I gave up in the end and it did sell for around 200 GBP. Still not sure if the buyer realised or maybe thinks they've got the wide bubble taped weapon rarity! :lol:
