I knew you had a full set mate but not all those, very cool James clapping

I think they are great especially the yellow crab Stormie cheers

I'll look at the back of mine in good light it's hard to see the markings What a Face

I picked up my 3 sets from Joe Y a few years ago . I know at the time he had a lot of them so I got mine for cheap cheers

He's notoriously hard to track down but you might still be able to buy them if you can locate Joe Wink

I thought I remembered seeing a lot of those in circulation at one point.

Those toppers are cool looking, weird but still cool clapping

It’s crazy how you can even tell on the R2 that it’s molded from the Kenner head.

Those are great! You just can’t help but wonder what they were thinking at the time. rofl

Those are really cool mate, they look brilliant painted, very nice!

by **Commander Clint** Tue Jan 23, 2018 10:11 pm

They look far better than the originals. Well done. clapping

by **hellhippie** Wed Jan 24, 2018 11:43 am

awesome toppers , that 2-1b is sick!!

by **Nico** Wed Jan 24, 2018 12:13 pm

Very cool James clapping

they look great cheers

by **ourchickenshack** Wed Jan 24, 2018 4:48 pm

Thanks guys , glad you like them Very Happy

My guess is that they were done by a 10 to 15 year old kid - there too good to have been done by a young child and not quite good enough to have been done by a adult cheeky

I could use some help identifying this little 2 1/4 " x 4 " booklet ...

[400][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][/400]

it was in with a lot of misc paperwork I purchased recently and I can't seem to find any info on it banghead2

my guess is that it may have came with some other product or toy - maybe even a promotional / give away type item scratch

by **Nico** Fri May 04, 2018 5:03 pm

Cool booklet James cheers

Is that something that might be handed out at the cinema scratch

by **Commander Clint** Fri May 04, 2018 5:06 pm

Let me look around. scratch

At first it looked like the cover of a cassette tape, but your piece is too big to fit in a cassette tape case.

I think that I have that cassette somewhere. I'll see if I can find it, and check to see if the mini photo album is with mine.

by **ourchickenshack** Fri May 04, 2018 6:26 pm

cool - if yours is missing the booklet I'll send you this one What a Face

by **Nico** Fri May 04, 2018 7:05 pm

Clint you are the man, great work mate bowwing

It looked bigger than a cassette insert to me What a Face

Great the puzzle is solved rockon

by **Commander Clint** Fri May 04, 2018 7:24 pm

Thanks Andy. It looked familiar, but I thought it would be to big for a cassette as well. I should have measure the TVR "it came from the loft" tape sitting beside me first. st00pid

by **ourchickenshack** Wed Jun 13, 2018 6:43 pm

Picked up this oddity from a seller in the UK ...

[500][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][/500]

I am sure it's unlicensed but I have no idea when it was made . It's child size , made of rubber and marked Made In China .

I liked it because it looks like a Gimp mask to me cheeky

by **hellhippie** Wed Jun 13, 2018 7:26 pm

Totally does look creepy . Very cool addition dude

by **Commander Clint** Wed Jun 13, 2018 7:36 pm

James, that's fantastic. clapping

I had a quick look thru some books, internet searches and the SWCA and can't find any information? Hopefully someone can shed some light on the mask.

by **ourchickenshack** Wed Jun 13, 2018 7:42 pm

Thanks guys cheers

I have never seen another one like it nor have I been able to find any info on it either Clint scratch

I think the symbol above the "made in china" will be the key, to who made it. I still haven't made it down to the local costume shop, to ask about the Canadian Norben costumes. So I'll ask about this one as well.

by **Nico** Wed Jun 13, 2018 9:35 pm

Great find James rockon

never seen it before mate What a Face

Star Wars gimp mask lol!

I'm interested to hopefully hear more about it bro popcorn
