It looks better but do you really think you should be letting your child touch that scummy thing :lol:

Daddy Poncho "come here and hold this figure for me so I can take a picture of it"

Poncho Sprog "But it smells really bad Dad!"

Daddy Poncho "Do you want your tea or not?" :D

It's like looking at Star Wars revisited :D

Nice job though, maybe best to cut around the bubble of the other one, split the backing in half and seal it onto a good card back. It will still be sealed and if you can find the same card back as you already have with minimal damage then it could look good1

No bud. It was a pressie a couple of years ago from a family member who picked it up for me
It's just been on top of the wardrobe to be honest as never got round to it

Decided a couple of weeks ago to start focusing and want to tidy this up having said that Iain has one for me to have a look at
