I may be wrong but I can't remember reading about reproduction Rebel Soldiers or Klaatus appearing on the market, definitely not loose versions that's for sure.

If you want people to check them out you will need to post pictures but I'd say you were fine based on the information you've just posted.

I wouldn't have thought so, do the arms and legs bend?

It's normally the weapons that you have to watch out for, drop them in a bowl of water and if they float then they will be legit (although not all weapons/accessories float), check this site out http://www.imperialgunnery.com/ it will be a big help to you when collecting :)

Post some pictures and you'll be quickly reassured.

That is absolutely fine. Not sure why you need to open a new thread tho? :?
