Yak Face POTF 1985

[gothicjawa]

Hello there, I have recently come into possession of my childhood Star Wars figures. One of these bad boys is Yak Face, I have done a bit of research into him and found out that he his quite a rare one. I do not however have the box nor the coin that came with it, I also do not have his Staff, this part is still unsure to me as apparently the Tri-Logo version was never shipped with the extra Staff, I have also heard that how you can tell the Tri-Logo version is the lack of COO on the figurine. I would like to know how much it is worth, I am huge Star Wars fan and was gobsmacked when I found him. I would love to keep him, but my financial situation at the moment says otherwise. Thankyou.

Hello, it might be best to introduce yourself as you will get a better reception when asking for help

It is a rare figure, not massively rare loose, as you will see if you check ebay, the figure you have has discoloured torso and some paint loss, but i could see you getting £40-£60 for it on fleabay

ditto what plantman said the yellowed torso lets it down i dont think you'll get many takers on here with the condition its in, youd better off chancing your arm on ebay i reckon £50ish. yaks arem doing well at the moment good luck with the sale

Judging from your pic's, which are very clear, bit too clear in fact as you can see he needs a good dust before selling him on.

Yeah give him a bath in soap and water anf get him up on eBay - you'll get at least £50 fr him - maybe more if yu aare lucky

Thankyou very much for all your swift reply's. I suspected that the discolored torso would affect the price. I found him with a dozen other vintage Star Wars figurines from kenner, most of them have discolored torso which is shame none of them have there extras either. They were childhood toys bought from a boot sale and I haven't seen them in about 17 years so they could have been in worse condition . I have Luke and Leia 1977 models but alas no lightsaber or blaster. I was thinking of selling the others (Malakili, Rebel Soldier, Lando, Greedo, logray, chirpa, Klaatu, Ree-Yees) as a bundle due to the fact of discoloration and lack of extra bits.

once again I thank you guys for the help and may the force be with you

Sell them on here through the sales section mate, you'll save yourself a packet in Ebay fees.

Thankyou very much for all your swift reply's. I suspected that the discolored torso would affect the price.

He also has a cooked stance which isn't gonna help. I agree with Iain, should just about scrape 50. Even the beaters are selling well at the moment.
I'd watch this one end if i were you. Might give you a decent idea of the current market on Yak Face beaters.

If its graded below 75 then you will might find it will sell less than by selling it as a pure loose figure. I have seen some really low prices paid for MOCs which are AFA/UKG 70 or below, as those hunting graded items prefer 75+........

Tis a strange world.

Cheers

Well this one went for £36.11. Not surprised at all. I thought under 40. Don't think your will fair much better tho you can never tell with ebay. Fluctuations can be drastic and unpredictable.
