One leg looks longer than the other and the seller has a variety of stormies on repro cards.

These are very likely to be Poons as this guy has a terrible reputation for fakes/repros etc

Hi,

I was hoping for some advice on a few recent eBay purchaces.

I recieved a few figures, I am quite confident about the weapons but unsure of Landos cloak, emperors stick and ackbars stick.

Landos cloak gives a nice zippy sound on one side but the edges are a bit off and it is lighter than my other Lando cloaks.
As with the other accessories the only reference I have are in baggies and hard to compare to.

(Possible repro in middle)

This is my first time photographing accessories, I hope the detail is clear enough to help make a decision. Thanks in advance for any help.

The edge on the lando cloak looks rough and handcut to me....anybody else think this?

 

[JuniorChubb]

Thanks for responding tiefighterboy,

This edge of the cape is an issue for me, as is the colour (a lot more noticable in person). I have questioned the seller before leaving feedback and got a 'Im insulted' & 'research your variants' response. I then asked to be educated and the seller has made it clear they have done their part and the ball is in my court.

I looked online before questioning the seller, lots of Lando variations, but no mention of cloak colour variation (only cloak shape variation).

I want to be sure rather than to finger an inocent seller.

 

[tiefighterboy]

I do not remember a crooked cut rough edge variant.

Lol

Not even from Mexico?

Maybe one of those late nite bootlegs everyone loves so much.

 

[JuniorChubb]

I'm beginning to wish it was a bootleg.

Does anyone know where I can find more info on Bespin Lando's cloak? Images, colours, textures sizes etc...

 

[tiefighterboy]

You could try the Imperial Gunnery forum. They have a reference guide and may be able to help you.

 

[JuniorChubb]

I will have a look.

Thanks

they sure look minter than mint.

Just see he mentioned recarded.....would have been cool to see carded figures in that condition.

 

[Grant_C]

This is auctioned as a fake, but the picture is cool. What could have been...

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah it does look pretty cool. Fairly well done too. Resealed onto an original back by the looks of it.

Fake Boba baggie so beware guys -

Tape looks like it has been peeled back and re-applied. Is that baggie a later baggie?

 

[poncho]

especially this guy i noticed

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Action-Figures-/246/i.html?item=150892956926&pt=UK_ToysGames_ActionFigures_ActionFigures_JN&hash=item2321ebccfe&_ssn=tonymeo

they must be making a quick buck or two hey! i dont agree with resealing figures onto original or repro card and partnered with repro weapons!
