What's with this Ackbar bubble?? Real deal?

[PGowdy]

Searching ebay for a decent ROTJ Ackbar MOC (3 years into that search :roll: ) and saw this bubble which i've never seen before. Have i just not been paying attention the last 4 years of collecting or Is it fake?

I think the majority look like that Pete. Looks fine to me.

I'm talking about the upward arch/dent between the feet. Never seen that before. Just looked at about 15 on ebay and none of them have an arch between the feet. Never seen one before.

Just a random selection of other ROTJ Ackbar bubbles.

Most 65 kenners are flat, there are a few with the dent on ebay us right now. I'd say about 25% dent.

Hmm, i see. Funny, either never seen it or never noticed it before. Tho i'm sure if it'd seen it before i would have noticed. Maybe. :lol:

Yep I knew what you meant Pete, you can find a similar bubble on the AT-ST Driver too, might just be dependant on which factory produced them or something to do with the figures wider than normal stance perhaps (both Ackbar and AT-ST seem to have similar stances).

I've never seen that bubble before either mate.

 

[jay4]

I see so it was just a few specific figures that had it. Not across the board. I must say I've never paid enough attention to the At-St driver but i do often search around for Ackbar MOCs, been after a decent one for years (to no avail :roll: ) so i'm surprised this is the first time i've seen one with this kind of bubble.
Perhaps i shouldn't add to my CV; "good at noticing stuff"
