Bootleg metal Yak Face

[Iglomat]

I found a bootleg metal Yakface in a charity shop the other day, does anyone have any info on these? It's stamped with a a number 5 on the back and the only one I can find online is Ron Salvatores's which is number 3.

I have never seen any for sale, I think they were definitely custom made from a production figure, limited run of god knows how many! Cool find though

Here's a couple of pics witha close up of the number stamp. The small copper pipes in the feet that must have held it in the mould are still attached.

Wow that is very cool! I have never seen one of those before. So how much did you charity shop find cost you?!

I've been hunting for one for ages, great find mate. If you fancy giving him a new home, give me a shout

Hmm, the first bootleg iv'e ever seen that I actually like the look of, almost looks like a solid silver statue.

Neat find!

Are they the same thing? I've seen the one on the Archive but didn't realise it was supposed to be on a plinth.

For some reason I can't see the pics in this thread, they just show up as P1020683.JPG

Just like Buses, wait and age for one and two show up at the same time.

BUH!!!, just realised this thread is from 2011.

I didn't even notice someone sent me a link this morning and I didn't even check the date. That's why the pics don't show up!
