Vintage Kenner ceramic cast 12 inch Luke - UPDATE

[tiefighterboy]

I bought this thing and as you can tell it is cast from a 12 inch luke. The clothes and saber are however not the same as his kenner counterpart. The guy I bought it from said he picked it up in the 1970's. Have any of you ever seen one of these??????????

Interesting piece Todd, guess the question is........is it worth as much as an unopened 1980's packet of Doritos? :lol:

Most likely not, but it probably tastes better :lol:

It just came in the mail and I have to say the mold for it was made from an actual 12 inch kenner luke. It is marked 1979 on the bottom of the base and is hollow inside from the molding process. An awesome piece at any rate. I will be painting this bad boy. I have never seen one in my decades of collecting and consider it a rare non-authorized piece from the 70's. And yes.......he tastes better 20 year old Dorito's.

Yeah....one of my friends pointed out that my boots are all wrong in comparison to the Kenner figure....but I like them in the darker brown.
