Does anyone know anyhting about vintage SW figures?

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

First, to clarify I'm not collector per say, never have been. That being said I'm looking to acquire some 70's and 80's original figures. They simply make me nostalgic and they make me smile, and I am looking for the ones of good quality.

My first question is that I bought a loose Boba Fett with gun, and he had gray arms and light green instead of being solid light blue. the guy told me that the version I bought was the ROTJ version of which they only made one of, which is why it was more heavily sought after from his ESB counterpart (of which they had three releases. here was a picture in a catalog that he showed me. Is this true?

Here's a listing for a vintage Boba Fett figure from Return of the Jedi, with picture, on prices4antiques.com.

I just know they're worth a ton of money if in good condition and if mint/still in the box worth a small fortune.

70s nerds who grew up and now have highly paid nerd jobs make everything possible

Worthless. I would be happy to take any you have off your hands.

Oh I 4got to tell you, that I have some carded figures but this Boba Fett isn't carded,. He does have a gun, and his arms and legs are lighter than the rest of him and the guy showed me a picture that this is the ROTJ version

Does the figure you got match the one in the link I posted above?

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Oh yes I believe it does. No card on mine so I can't say.

The one I have has very light green, and he has light gray arms and legs

Might want to check out www.rebelscum.com and go to their Photo Archive they have pictures of nearly every vintage and modern action figure as well as variants

Plastic discolor with age, so that might be a reason. By vintage I assume you talking 70's/80's figures not the 90's/00's ones.

NickRyder I'll check out the site.

MeanJoePhaser Yeah I'm talking about the former, Kenner releases, and yes, the coloration different is actual and not due to age
