Been after a repro rocket firing Fett (unpainted version) and found this listing and thought I'd be in with a chance at about £20. Figured it was an infamous Poon repro which didn't bother me, just want one to line up with all my other Fett variants - and who the hell has £10,000 plus for the real thing?!

So - the bidding ended at nearly £50!!! With a rip off cost of £4.50 for economy postage! I pity the fool who bought this.

So I did a bit of searching and found Poons listing for both variants at $25 each, for the L slot and the J slot, both with the correct-ish colouring.

So for both Fetts, plus international shipping came to just over £30.

Does anyone here own a Poon Rocket Firing Fett? What are they like?

I hear they are quite rubbery and flexible.

I have some, great customs TBH, but I won't make any friends saying it :lol: I also have a few others I presume to be customs that are similar to the poon's but not identical.

The only custom figures I still have bar the excellent carded one's Todd has kindly made for me.

Interesting, I'll look forward to receiving them, as long as they look ok in my Fett variant line up, that's cool with me. I avoid all repros/customs and stick to vintage almost 100% of the time, but I got the hasbro firing Fett from 2007 and I could never, ever justify spending that much on the real thing so a good repro is going to do me fine.

Anyone know how rare a Lil Ledy Fett (loose) is and how much it's likely to cost?

Dependon on fixed or loose rocket version the latter being worth a LOT more, a I sold a good graded one @ £200 a while back of the fixed

So my 2 Fett's arrived this morning from Singapore.

The limbs are bendy, but on the whole I'm very pleased with them as they're great for display along side the rest of my growing Fett collection. The rockets look ok, although I'm not 100% sure on the accuracy of the colours on them, the lighter one looks pretty good but the darker one looks a little bit off.

Weirdly, ebay has pulled the auction for them, 2 days after I bought mine. Not sure why, no reason is given.
