Title: "Fake" Vader?
Post by: jkgjeb on June 6, 2005, 09:44 AM
Hello all!

New to this board, but was wondering if anyone can prove or disprove the existance of this figure:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=751&item=5979416641&rd=1

I have collected 12 inch SW Figures since the early days (1978), but I have NEVER seen anything about this one on any web site or article. I tried to examine the photo and it appears as if the person used a Gamorrean Guard box and simply used some creative editing to make this new one.

If I am wrong, please let me know, as I will be happy to bid on this, but my pessimistic side tells me it's a fake.

Thanks!

Jason

Here you go, these were 10"

Vader, Anakin, Jango and Mace were released, they bombed at retail but it looks like they are doing well on the secondary market

Wow, that was quick! Thanks for the replies! I am not a fan of the vinyl ones, so I am glad I didn't shell out something I thought was an actual 12 inch figure!

Man, I got that for like $5 at Sam Goody a few years ago. Wish I'd have bought all that I saw now, since I could have made 10 times the money. :)

Did Applause make these?  Are they still in business??  I know at one time their founder/owner killed himself...
