Looks great, I wish there was more stuff like this and am shocked that 16 years later we still don't have vintage style prequel toys, especially with the a) huge popularity of funko and super 7 retro toys and b) the massive mark down in quality and cutback in paint and articulation on actual star wars toys. Vintage style figures would print money and fit the current trends so I am completely baffled as to why they haven't become a thing, first for the prequels and now for the new SW stuff.

That's because the prequels are shit and anyone interested in vintage-style figures is old enough to know better.

I agree with you. But i like the design of some of the stuff

Not ever villain has to be evil.

Looks kind of like Jodo kast

There's kinda one vintage preqeul thing. The folks who made the shooting boba reproduction also made a Jango variant. It's not much, but why the hell would you want a 19080's styled jar-jar?

Wow, nice condition on the white figures

Who knew as kids in the late seventies and early eighties we were playing with gold.

It really depends, like with modern collections. Some figures are as common as pennies from those years. Some are extremely rare, but nobody wants them.

If you have some in good condition or in the box they are probably valuable. I just saw that working AT-ATs (out of the box) from 1980 were going for $250 and up on ebay. That's about twice their value from 15 years ago, and twice the value from when they were originally sold, so it beats inflation.

What you need is a figure or toy that was rare, in good condition, and has some kind of mystery/legend around it. Rocket firing Boba Fett prototypes are so rare they cost more than a new car today, but think of all the money people have made on the legend of them alone. The custom figures sold on ebay, commissioned figures, that mail-away Boba Fett from Hasbro, the big Gentle Giant version. Even paintings and photo-prints of the prototype are valuable.

I just read some try-hard pseudo-intellectual discussions on the Rebelscum forums about this. They believe that making custom vintage figures of high quality is actually bad for vintage collectors because the money could be used on projects to deceive collectors. They are grasping their pearls because some idiot might pay 30k for this kit-bashed Fett thinking it is a real prototype. O I am laffin'

Remember, these are the folks that took THIRTY YEARS to make 6" figures, and even still under-produce the more popular characters.
