YUPI Figures on the Bay

[darth_daddius]

Hi guys, I just saw some YUPI figures on ebay and they look a little off. Firstly, they are all green - all of them. Then the green is just a little off the colour I have seen before (the ones on ebay are a bit more translucent).

I am not 100% certain they not not real - is anyone able to verify that they are legitimate?

Cheers
Pat

Do you have a link we can use to see them?

Yeah, I'd like to know which are the suspect ones too...

For anyone else wondering what a YUPI figure (like me) is here is a useful link- http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=48543

They certainly look like they would be fairly easy to reproduce :?

Are these expensive?
They look kind of simple but quite nice at the same time, if you see what I mean.

Here's the link:

They are not nearly as expensive as they were a few years ago, and as they have become more known about. Interestingly they were licensed by Lucasfilm and are a legitimate Star Wars item.

Wow...expensive enough for a simple moulded figure.
I have never seen or heard of these before, I assume that they are European?
Don't think any of these will be joining my collection at those prices
Thanks for the link.

Colombian, I assume that they are few and far between, and that explains the price of these?
