Anyone after a cheap Palitoy C3PO MOC?

Not the nicest example but it won't last long so I thought I'd give the heads up (no it's not mine).

Thanks for the headsup! Wow, it's wavey haha

Still looks nice though.

It's not in the best of shape but for a budget buy it might work for someone on here.

I've got a fully sealed one with a really badly crushed bubble that isn't something I display as my part resealed one looks a lot better. It does have the brightest looking 3PO in it I've ever seen but feel that if I ever put it up for sale someone would just U grade it. Probably best to keep the little chap out of harms way.

Couldn't agree more, but are you guys seriously thinking someone would rip of a figure from a star wars palitoy card, just to U-grade it?!? Regardless of how that cards looks,, I know the discussion about U-grading have been an ongoing thing, but seriously, if you wanna U-grade a figure, in this case c-3po, there would be another card right?

you know what, the more I think about this, as I write all this..., to me U-grading just seems a terrible thing !

besides, if you like your figures loose, well, shouldn't they be 'loose' rather then locked away? :roll:

PS the above is not to piss some people off. It's just my opinion about u-grading, and if you have another, well that's good for you :lol:

I think nearly everyone would agree with your thoughts on U-grading so I don't think you'll be upsetting anyone. I do think that someone would U-grade my 3PO though given half the chance. I feel it's just the way things have gone due to value and maybe it would achieve a better price with a high grade but I'm certainly not going to give this practise a helping hand.
