Hiya gang,
Recent purchase of a 12-back Kenobi MOMC as advertised, just received him this morning and i have my doubts on whether or not he has been resealed in the past as their maybe signs of bubble movement. In some parts of the bubble the cross-hatching glue is visible but around the card away from the bubble there is also cross-hatching and looks like it the bubble has moved or slipped resulting in left over glue. Can you guys please have a look and let me know what you think before i go back to the seller (in this case is tlkrs6, previously robsolo30)

heres some photos:

is it possible it's a factory error, and there were two attempts at putting on the bubble?

i'd hazard a guess that it's genuine mate, i've got figures with really weird/badly put on bubbles.

Hmm i cannot see any uneveness or tearing of the picture beneath the bubble seal but there is a strange square clear plastic part behind Kenobi which i have tried to show up on the following picture, does anyone know what this is?

Thank you all for your help and comments, i wasn't sure if this is genuine or not.

they put those plastic squares in the bubble behing all figures with capes to stop them sticking to the card. you also find them in other figures with easily rubbed off paint, such as boba fett and dengar.

yes mate im pretty sure its genuine. even my tri logo leia has that plastic behind the cape! i guess with most of the older figures with tighter bubbles you cant see it unless it's been put in wonky.

If you need any other 12/20/21 backs, let me know.

I'm selling up my Kenner star wars collection.

A 12 back Han large head is going to cost you at least Ã'£500 for an AFA 80 so expect to pay big money when one appears, unless Gary still has a spare ungraded one as I seem to remember he had 2 or 3 a while ago !! :lol: 8)

The two I had were palitoy ones.

The only kenner han I have is a small head.

I definitely have some of the ones you listed left, Jukesy When I sort my collection room out, I'll dig them out.
