Vinyl Caped Jawa

Hello!

Do you think this VC jawa is real or is it fake?






Cheers for answers!

Shall I be the first to comment or shall I wait for Todd...

Size matters not :lol:

Welcome.

I too am struggling to make out the photos? Could you please enlarge them?

I cant see this ****.

Is that why its left smeared all over your bathroom wall? :wink:

Edit:

Just had a closer look, its says 'Lets Cuddle' :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey guys thanks for replying! Did not see that the pictures became that small, will fix them now!

Looks good to me... :wink:

But I am only a Wally expert and not very knowledgeable about such things...

To tell the truth I am not even a Wally expert :lol:

Can you take the cape off and get a few close ups of both sides? Need to also see those arm holes in the cape.

It looks like the real deal to me although I'm not quite sure why on the last picture the collar is folded down when it's up on the other ones, are these the same Jawa's?

Sorry forgot to say that the pictures are from a seller and he/she want 475£ (around 800 dollars) for it, so the second question is if the price is too high? I can't seem to find anyone else selling Vinyl caped jawa atm.
The seller also wrote "100% GENUINE STAR WARS 1977 VINYL CAPE JAWA IN OUTSTANDING COMPLETE CONDITION Cape is original (so has the hatching) and so is the blaster (slight blue tint and floats) -
Very little/ no wear on the palms of the hands which is very rare."

Looks good to me too. The price is a touch high but they'll be going for that price regularly soon IMO. Glad I got mine when I did!
I think if you're patient you could pick one up for closer to £375.

Looks fine to me too - but I'd agree with Rich that it is over priced - these have gone up recently but I was selling minty version last year for £300-£350 and you could pick graded ones up for that price

I would have thought that you could get a graded 85 one for that price and know that it's 100% the real deal (probably UKG though and not AFA). The prices have been going up and up for these recently after spending years around the 250 mark.

The last ones going through ebay are - UKG 85 - 500 GBP BIN, UKG 90 - 560 GBP both sold in Feb this year. Loose ones were 437 GBP, 396 GBP (no gun) and 775 GBP all sold in January. I'm sure there have been others that I've missed and these are from UK ebay.

Just found this link to more recent sales -

One last thing is that those pictures look kind of familiar to me so I would be careful to find out who the seller is (is it someone called Martin?).

I just saw that the sell tried to sell the jawa for 399£ but got no bids, so then he puts it up for buy it now at 475£ seems a bit weird to me, what do you guys think about that? (That might be why the pictures look familiar to you Palifan, he tried to sell it in February) I can also add that the seller has 100% positive feedback with around 170 sold items.

Looking at the sellers feedback and other things for sale I'd say he'd been fine to deal with and not trying anything on. As for the price maybe a fair offer would be good, judging by how these things have been selling ( and the amount original started at) I'd go in around 400. Just double check that there are no tears in the armholes at all as this really does affect the price.
