Lol never seen a painted one like that ... the listing it's pretty clear, perhaps someone would rather pay that than the hefty price a real one is going for. Or they're just stupid :lol:

It looks terrible and its startlingly close to where I live. I may have to move if thats what the area is coming to.

Listing is very clear about what it really is, its also pretty badly painted... God only knows what is going on...

 

[StarWarsFan]

Agree its listed as a repro but that price for a painted figure is madness.

Also this is selling for a highish price

Ha! I wouldn't b surprised if some of the bidders haven't properly read the listing.The title is misleading for starters :!:

I bought a Droids C3 with and R2 with coins from an american seller last year. I belive that they are original.

I must say that the repso C3 is pretty darn close to the original one. The R2 is a dead giveaway fake. Poorly painted and the shade of gray on the dome is way off.

Zoomed in on the C3 - I take my above statement back. His eyes look like briddroppings and the quality of the painjob looks like it was made by a 5 year old or a foot and mouth painter.

**** think people think it's the original its over £100 for a painted repro god some people are stupid

I need to buy some pots of paint and get making my fortune

Yer same here

I think people are just looking at the picture and then aren't reading beyond:

Vintage Star Wars Droids Figure.
Very rare
C3P0

Also the title is extremely misleading.

Sneaky trick only mentions it in small text. When I first saw it though it was real but the eyes didn't look right then read the small print. The buyer is going to be pissed.

I agree. I think if you were going by the title being, 'DROIDS & EWOKS TV SERIES VINTAGE STAR WARS FIGURE CARTOON C3P0 Rare COMPLETE.' Then looked at the picture and skim read the description, you'd be fu*ked - and clearly this is what's happening here. This is how people get suckered into resealed & repros. You have to be so careful because people will fu*ck you over and won't lose any sleep over it.
