| Hello, I just purchased a yoda cane (one on the right) I'm trying to get some opinions on if it is repro or not. It is a molded plastic slightly lighter than my original and a little slimmer down the bottom the main thing that differs is it seems to have more felxibility than the others I own ie: brown and light brown rigid feeling canes which are original. Any thoughts ? The seller on ebay was Mr Robotos I haven't had much exposure to the Yoda cane to really know and I couldn't really answer the question in the armory. Any help most appreciated. Regards Paul |

| Hi Paul, your Yoda cane looks like the one I have which is light brown and flexible and has a slight taper to the end. Does yours float or sink in water? |

| Hi Paul, Does your cane feels rubbery and is it more reddish? I obtained a Yoda figure which came with a rubbery cane last December and asked then for some more information here on TIG. Maybe it helps. - Dr Dengar wrote:

I recently bought this loose Yoda figure. He has COO no. 5 according to Wolff's COO guide.
The cane feels quite differerent compared to all the other canes I have, it is quite flexible, feels a bit like rubber. I don't think it is repro, cause it has a molding circle, which you also see with other canes, for instance PBP/Lili Ledy canes.
Anyone has an idea what the origin might be of this little green guy? (I mean apart from Dagobah )

Some say that the Yoda sold on POTF card is identical to the Meccano Yoda but I never put one off POTF card so I can't confirm this

| I wouldn't say it's rubbery really. The bend I am doing is as far as it will before stressing. Doesn't really have that red tinge like in your photo.
Tough to work out if it's the real deal. |

| I would most certainly say original, as far as i'm aware the only repros of these are of the hard plastic type unless i stand corrected? |
