I forgot to mention,one of the figures had a rubber stamp on its base,so could be stuck on an ink pad and stamped?didnt look too closely as i was not bothering,would it be something from a post office set or something,it was the same size figure as the others?

the earlier "modern" figures didnt have knee joints mate.

as for your recent ones - the General McQuarrie is a representation of the guy that did the concept art for the original trilogy eg your snow trooper was designed by him

personally most of those look pretty crummy!

i would rather have spent the £20 on say two or three good ones from ebay.

just my view point.
