Joe seems to have one too....but that one look more like a Stromtrooper helmet?? Is that the Vader/third head you are talking about Cristian??



I wonder if Joe had bought the one above. the cape and the saber would hav made his one pretty much complete!

On the other hand he is maybe blocked from this sellers auctions....like me

Hello Wolff

This is the Vader head that I am talking, is here in this city but unfortunately not in my collection



And these are the Ape Vader's body in bag and loose with a stormtrooper Matt Mason body





Thanks

Cristian

AHAR!!! Thanks a lot Cristian! +1 for this information!!

Great pictures!

I purchased this back in April and assumed it was a modern produced figure. It's great to find out it's actually much older! Sorry for the shitty iphone pic.

WOOW your figure is in amazing condition and definitely is not modern, congratulations.

That's interesting Christian. Sorry, I must have missed your posts. It looks as though the heads and bodies of both the SW and POTA figures were all made by the same place and all were interchangeable. I wouldn't have thought that they were that old truthfully. Are the heads easily removed?

If this is truly the case, I guess I was mistaken. But, hopefully Mike Foster will post his opinion as he is much more knowledgeable about Mexicans than I.

Thanks for the information. That's what this site is all about

Cool AJ. That Vader has real good paint. I like Mexis because they're so much cheaper than other bootlegs

unfortunatly that's not always the case

i have one of each of these darth chewys and darth galens and one with a proper vader head and they all came in those bags that are hard to see through.the white stomys with matt mason body that i have didn't come in those bags.thats why they look older than the darths as the bags have kept the darths clean.i can only go of what i'm told by mex collectors and what i've seen elsewhere.as far as i can say they are all vintage era.

So the consensus on all 3 variations, the darth, chewy, and ape head are all vintage and legitimate? I guess I'll have to buy a chewy head darth then. They do look cool. And I've never seen that stormtrooper w/ spacesuit, I just googled Matt Mason, never heard of him. I like that there's vintage bootlegs that I didn't know about. Very interesting.

So what's the deal with the stormtrooper head darth? Is that another variation? Is that a string around the neck? What's up with this one? Maybe Joe could chime in.




Who's the one in the back? I don't know the POTA characters. Is that the same head as the one in the front left but w/o paint apps?

The one that's from my collection, the head broke off when I dropped it, and rather than glue it, there's fun tack holding it together. Accidents happen, but with bootlegs,condition matters less than other parts of the hobby.

Here is a recent addition to my collection that I've been looking for for some time. He's in fantastic condition! I have yet to find a Polish Comic Spain bootleg R2D2. If anyone has one, please let me know!

Finally something to add! Thanks to Jason, I've got a Black Hoth Trooper with weapon!!

Nice new additions Trevor and John.

My two new polish bootlegs that I picked up today pre-Celebration

Thank You Joe

sheeeesch John...ver nice condition!!! CONGRATS!

Glad you got some Polish Prunes Beanie. Are you working on a Prune Focus or just like their ugliness ( I mean ugly in a good way)?

T. - Nice 3PO. I love those goofy bastards.

John - Awesome to see that in your collection!

Beanie - Super Ugly Prunes! Love that unart! He's one of my favs from the line.

I really need something new to boost my stagnant collection. Just finished paying for my fiance's wedding ring and the honeymoon so I think I can spend the rest of my ebay $$ on myself

I have wanted theses for awhile. I have various focuses in Star Wars.

Mostly Klaatu and R2. Also working on Chewbacca, Prune Face and Han Hoth. Just kind of depends on what I'm feeling at the time.

I next would like to get a Polish Han Hoth and then Polish Chewbacca.

One day I would love to get an Uzay but afraid where it would lead

To a very dark place...

Nice Prunies though! Sounds like it was a nice get-together...

Here's a pic of my bootlegs in their new home after we moved into our house. There's alot less of them now as a bunch were sold to help cover costs with moving.

can't beat having them displayed though i'm sure the collection will build up again soon enough

LOL! Is that Ewok wearing one of these? The one behind the purple Leia I mean.






These guys must be rare ones, as they all have blue shoes on.

Well here are mine since I've moved into my new place. All piled on top of each other in a big, multi colored mass. Not much room so I gotta make do with what the woman will tolerate. Good thing I greatly reduced the collection recently...

Man, I love those stormtroopers!

Great pics here, everybody!
