We could play a guessing game! You give a hint, the audience members get a guess!

We could play guessing games, but I'm not sure there's a clue I could give you that would give it away. Instead I'll do my talking with a photo.

Very nice, sir! Congrats on that!

Awesome! What a beautiful piece! I have to make do with a repro (but it still looks great on display, and always draws my eye), maybe one day.......

Nice. I got the loose cloth robe jawa this summer for $5 bucks. Yours takes the cake. Nice item. How much did it cost you? Loved the jawas as a kid. Got the 3 3/4 inch counter part his taller brother the 12 inch Jawa. Still got it. Jawas were one of my favorite figures of the original 12 3 3/4 besides Chewbacca and Stormtrooper. The Stormtrooper, Jawa, Sandpeople and Death Squad Commander were the first figures you could army build. Can never have enough of those original Kenner figures.

Thanks. To the best of my ability to tell, it's real and not a repro. If it's a fake it's very good fake. As for the price ... I normally don't like to talk about the price I've paid for any of my stuff. Let's just say it's over $200 and was nearly out sniped.

Bought this last week and it came in Saturday (oddly enough while I was watching More American Graffiti at the time).

Very happy with it, especially the almost complete lack of discoloration on the bubble.

There are also more than enough flaws on the bubble and the card to assure me that this is probably not a recard. The only real annoyance is that his staff has broken loose from the tape and is rattling around loose inside the bubble.

Now if the price sticker just had the price crossed out and "2 for $1" written on it in blue magic marker, then this would be my "holy grail" figure. However, this is probably as close as I'll ever get to owning that one Barada figure that I failed to buy way back in 1986.

Boy they just don't mean toys like they use to. You should write letter complaining to that that staff came loose after only 25 years, after all Kenner does care.
