What's so rare about this bossk?

[Collins1987]

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to the vintage game so was wondering if you could answer me this.

Seen some loose bossk's go for less than a tenner complete, so is this a really rare figure or am I right in thinking the seller has been smoking something.

Walkie is your man for this Bossk

Its spanish. Its quite a rare variant (compared to the £10 Bossks you see everyday) and the key visual difference is its "fat lips" which makes it look like he's wearing lipstick, although there will be many more subtle differences I'm sure.

As for value, couldn't tell you. There are a few variant collectors and a few spanish collectors that use the forum. Im sure one will be able to elaborate.

He's a PBP produced "Fat Lips" Bossk.

Hard torso/limbs like a lot of the other PBP figures (think LXW, Snowtrooper etc) with NO COO.

Quiet a nice variant but, if you shop about on ebay.es, ebay.fr you should find them a lot cheaper. In fact I saw one sell for £25 only 2-3 weeks ago. I missed out at I was in a car driving down the motor way with a naff phone signal

Condition wise it's usual for gaps in the torso (poor sonic weld) and the odd smudge/weld marl on the back of the torso so don't be put off but that if you spot one.

One word of advice though, never turn this figures head!!!, all the examples I've seen in person have had tight heads so be warned as they break easily!!
