Hi Anthony,
Am posting from the BBC 1 series, Fake Britain. Not sure whereabouts you are based but we're putting on an authentication day at East Bristol Auction House with various experts and would love to see your Boba Fett Kenner action figure. Drop me a line for more details -

Thanks,

I don't mean to be rude either to you or the original poster, as neither one of you have claimed expertise in this field, however I seriously doubt Fake Britain's 'various experts' (if indeed that's what they are when it comes to vintage Star Wars figures) would be interested in seeing this thing. It's not just fake, it's so obviously fake as to be utterly laughable. For starters, the figure is clearly very worn indeed with multiple, major areas of paint loss; something which would be impossible if it was new and unopened. That alone proves it to be fake beyond a shadow of doubt.
However, if further evidence were needed (which it isn't), every single other aspect of this card is wrong. The bubble is wrong, the cardboard footer within the bubble is wrong, the hole punch is wrong, the print quality is wrong, the card finish is wrong, the weapon placement inside the bubble is wrong (i.e. it's not taped to the bubble), the card's corners are wrong and the card's colours are wrong. This thing is every bit as convincing as Donald Trump's hair.
These poor quality obvious recarded figures are sadly easily available on eBay and elsewhere. Almost everyone in the vintage Star Wars collecting world knows about them, and no self-respecting expert of yours would want to be seen within a thousand miles of this thing. It would be like asking David Attenborough to verify whether you'd found a unicorn.
