Can no-one help with this one? Surely there must be a few Forum members who would be willing to share their large Mr Fetts with the rest of us?

I look forward to seeing them, as even though I have never collected the 12" line myself, I've always liked it and enjoyed looking at other people's collections.

Here are two I owned a long time ago now. The ESB was an eBay but for £35 that I sold for £70 a year or so later.

The loose one went in 2011 with the rest of my 12”

Definitely want a loose one again, and I’ve never owned Wookiee braids

First 12inch figure I ever got, purchased 22 years ago from a local Table Top sale for £1.00 No weapons or accessories but big thrill at 10 years old . A few months later decided to part exchange for an AT-AT Walker but the Hasbro one was hard to find in the UK at that time (1998). The only shop near by that sold it was a shop called Kool Collectable in York for £150. No way could afford that at 11 and my parents weren't willing to pay that sort of money for a toy. In the end found a local 2nd hand figure and game shop that had a vintage one and got that instead with the part ex and the rest was an early birthday present. Years later decided to hunt down the 12ich line after completed the run of small figures. Fett is the one have had multiple times, 2nd one picked up at a toy fair but wasn't great condition, 3rd one was an upgrade which I kept for a few years until I swapped it for the one in the photo sold mine and gave the money to my mate as his was slight better condition just missing the cape. Also found one with 1 leg at a toy fair for £1.00 Sold for £5.00.

Sadly I don’t have as many of the large Fett as I do the normal but here’s what I have.

Great stuff Andy, although I'm sorry to hear you no longer own them.

Thanks for sharing the photos though

Fantastic photos, and a wonderful group shot of the 12" figures.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and your story

Another Fett missing his right hand! Are they particularly prone to coming loose or is this just an amazing coincidence?!

Regardless, thanks for sharing
