Unknown vintage (?) head statues

[ArnoldNL]

Heya guys n galls,

I've bought these on a yardsale a long time ago, but I would really want to know what they are, when they were made and what they are worth.

Yoda, Chewbacca, Darth Vader and C-3PO headbusts, about 2 inches high. They're all in really good condition. I've done a wild guess them being some kind of candy-containers (the inside is really dust-like dirty). There's no logo or anything on it. Guess they are for the first 3 movies-era... being Chewbacca among them...

So, who can tell me more?!

These were made by Myriad in conjunction with Topps in 1995. They are "candy-heads". Small plastic heads filled with small pieces of candy. They also came with a collectable Topps trading card.

Type in 'Topps Star Wars Candy' into ebay and you'll see boxes full of them.

The vintage ones rule.

 

[Grant_C]

Yes they do, but dammed if i can find the ESB Tauntaun Display.....

Only seen one for sale in 2 years...

 

[tiefighterboy]

Are talking about the yellow ESB one? I also still need a Jedi display box too.

 

[Grant_C]

Yeah the yellow one.

I got the ROTJ one- but have only seen 2 of them pop up in the last 2 years.

They want $20 for the ROTJ candy head set on ebay :roll:

I will keep an eye out for both of us. We collect the same silly stuff. I am still looking for CHEAP pencil toppers.

 

[Grant_C]

I know mate- everyone still asking crazy prices on those as well.

 

[ArnoldNL]

So I was more right than wrong.... hmmm, thought I had something really cool vintage, but I guess it isn't. Someone willing to buy?

 

[tiefighterboy]

They are not worth much. Somebody might take them off your hands, but you would be pushing it to get a fiver for the lot....oops...they are out of package (Worth 50p each at best). Give them to your kids.

 

[ArnoldNL]

Haha, thank god I haven't got kids yet

I'll hand 'em to a buddy of mine, he's a star wars collector that deffo wants them. Rather make someone real happy with it than sell 'em...

Thanks anyways, quick reactions
