Not entirely setting this up to bash AFA but it's to highlight any mistakes they have made , of course you can have a laugh at most of them but it's also interesting to see "what slipped by"

I have also included a rather unfortunate Darth Vader who burst out of his bubble after grading, how gutted would you be!

I wonder if anyone has either heard or has pictures ( preferably ) of similar mistakes ?

Kicking off with the recent "What the **** is this helmet and how did it get passed inspection" piece ;)

And ending with the unfortunate Darth Vader I mentioned earlier, the sith lord was not meant to look like this..
 
I don't think we ever got to the bottom of it, I said it looked like a modern one and pulled a picture of one really similar, then some guys said it looks more like a custom one, maybe even a hollowed out Stormtrooper head with custom paint... :lol:
 
This thread also gives Jay another excuse to show off his mislabelled Luke! 8)
 
It's actually a marketing ploy to get everything recased by the collectors in five years when the weapons are all rattling around in the acrylic cases ;)

That reebo band is class looks like trashed the stage at the end of a set.

What gets me is the carded bubbles can damaged figures paint chips etc I always think the afa cases must wreck some of the figures out of the line especially the more fragile ones?

I have never collected AFA loose does this happen?
 
Yeah, ditto.

Seen some really badly smudged, TBH I'd say the case had ruined the figure!
 
I have a 90 graded loose figure.... There is a feckin huge chunk of plastic missing from the back of the figure!

It is not rattlin' around inside the case either!

Did someone forget to wear there glasses? :roll:
 
Pictures please Chaz!

What can I say about the rebo band...apart from "our amps go all the way up to 11"
