Palitoy 12" Leia (as opposed to Denys Fisher)

[DrPittenstein]

Is this seriously rare?

I have another one also bought in the UK at around the same time with Denys Fisher packaging and have never seen another Palitoy branded 12" Leia.

It's not a sticker over a Kenner logo either, it's proper print.

Thanks. The answer would appear to be 'very rare' then.

Anyone else know anything?

I once owned a case fresh factory sealed example around ten years ago! Funny thing is it was found in a factory case of 6 at Oxfam, how bout that :lol: Regretfully I sold it a couple of years later for around £350 Have yet to see an example as good as the one I owned-and I have seen a fair few since!

I don't think these are rare. Not common maybe compared to other pieces but not rare.

At times there have been quite a few on eBay. When I decided to get one a few years ago I think I got one within a week thanks to the bay!

Agreed, u ain't getting 5.6K for this one Pal :lol: :lol:

Har Har.

I wouldn't mind avoiding a repeat of my clueless rookie reserve price though.

I was told the only Palitoy branded 12"ers were stickers over a Kenner logo.

So is it rarer than a Denys Fisher or not?

Geez Gary if you ever see a decent boxed DF Stormtrooper knocking about please do let me know! You seem to have the touch!

Will certainly keep an eye out for you.

With regards to the DF Leia, I believe it's rarer than the Palitoy...which is actually what I said in your ebay thread :wink:
