£1 pick up bespin guard

Picked him up in a junk shop today. £1

Have seen descriptions recently "square moustache"

So we're there different versions with diff tache?

Also should he have gold paint on the emblems on jacket?

He has a bit of paint loss on hands but ok for a quid I thought :?:

Thanks bud

Had a look

Handlebar tache, match, the stamp on the leg match,
But no white collar.
If he had whit collar would have matched, as on that version, there is no gold paint on the jacket, but the ones with no gold paint have the shorter tache

Variants....oh it's another SW door opening :!:

Never mind, just need to keep an eye out at the junk shops for a B B G, maybe a DT Vader as well :roll:

Many thanks June for taking the trouble on this, much appreciated

Another note....do you ever go into Tokyo Toys shop in NY

My son recently came over, spent hours in there drooling and trying to make his mind up what to buy
Funny really because his wife came in looking for him, a little angry at the time he took, and my son said to the young guy he was bartering with..." Oh this is my wife". To which the very excited guy in the shop replied " awesome dude :!: , your wife is into SW as well....cool" ....didn't go down well :lol: :lol:

Many thanks June

No prob and I've been to that shop a couple of times, but not haven't been there in a very long time. Do they have more vintage Star Wars there????? And when was the last time your son was there?


Oh and as far as the fig goes maybe all the paint just rubbed off, because for some reason the paint of the bespin guards always rubs off.

Bargain :mrgreen:

Cool. Still stuff out there if you look. There's some in a shop called Bygone Times near me, but it's top whack antique type prices

Sorry June didn't get back on your question re Tokyo Toys,

My son went mid Dec last year, just asked and his response was


"Yeah they did. Stacks of vintage stuff. They don't put it on their website though. They have as much vintage stuff as new really"

I can hear the Scooby Doo legs noise now......Junes off to Okyo :lol:
