What the heck is a YAK FACE ?

[English Paul]

Not super rare by any means but still a bit tricky to find and a fave of mine is the Trilogo Boba Fett - light blue plastic and different paint scheme.

The rarest variation is the painted wrist version.

Digging this back up to ask if you guys saw the Rocket Fett that Brian's Toys had up for auction. Says it was the version Kenner used way back when for Toy Fair.

Yeah, this example was once stucked in this mock-up at toy fair 1979.



BTW - this mock up will be auctioned in the near future.

The Rocket Fett Mock up was auctioned at the PCA at San Diegos Comic Con.

It was not sold at THIS price !

Off-topic but relating to someone's prior message: Can someone explain the "Wonder Bread He-man"--I don't know that one.

Thanks.

Since the star wars kick is going let me ask: What about the somewhat unofficial "blue rays (reyes?) figure? Does he command anything price wise?

Do you perhaps mean "Blue Stars"? (one of the unofficial Turkish Uzay figures. Those figures are worth a lot!).

that is exactly who I meant

[cjefferys]

All the Uzay figures have increased in value quite a bit over the past several years, especially carded, due to their rarity. The ones that tend to have the most demand are Blue Stars and Head Man, due to them looking very different from the actual Kenner figures (the rest just look like lower quality versions of the real toys). A carded Blue Stars could go for maybe two thousand bucks or more, depending on condition. A loose one, I'm not sure, but I'm guessing a complete one could go for more than $500?

I remember seeing Uzays for sale in Toy Shop magazine years ago, and being interested in them. I sure wish I picked some up at the prices they were then!

That is where I first saw Bue stars and found out about yakface's existence. I think the particular issue was from 1989 or 1990. Had to be from 89 as Godzilla vs biollante came out that year and I had no idea (then) that they made a new Godzilla film. Remember this was a bit before the internet was as it is now

I know what you mean. I had a chance once to get a POTF Anakin Skywalker for 60 bucks from Toy Shop. Should have taken that chance.

someone posted a link to uk ebay to snag a yak and rightly so, also germany, 2 a penny there

yak here is like the tall blue snaggle there, very easy to get hold of

as a factory fresh hunter ive had and sold around 5 yaks on tri-logo cards, among many other last 17 on tri-logo cards, horrible big bubble cards, i always hated them

had a box of 12 anakin moc tri logos, couldnt give them away, sold for aout £9.99 each, that $20 your money

yak in my op is quite a cool enough figure, always really cool when i find one at a bootsale but thats only happened twice in 20 years lol for $2 a go it was a hell of a buzz, and i once met the guy inside the costume

but the yak is by no means the most expensive or rare here, a mint 100% white luke stormtrooper, mint ev9d9 among 1 or 2 others are just as hard to get

give me a tall blue snaggle any day, it will sell off my stall far quicker than any yak would

and who cares for moc potf last 17, ill never own any of the mega rare holy grailones so it dont worry me

the rocket firing fett can be read about in sansweets giude to worldwide collectibles
ive seen a repro, very good but still a repro

i have a rocket firing r2d2 that would blow away fett anyday

"but the yak is by no means the most expensive or rare here, a mint 100% white luke stormtrooper, mint ev9d9 among 1 or 2 others are just as hard to get"

My EV9 D9 is still in the baggie. It has a small hole in the top of the bag where the head can poked through but it has never been fully out as the card spacer around the legs is too big. It was the last one of the last17 that I needed and stumbled across it on a BIN for about £40 - too good to miss.
If you had the cash and money was no object I think you could complete a set of the last 17 within a week on Ebay. They are plentiful. My challenge was to get them at a good price - it took about a year but was worth it.



With the exception of a couple of repro parts (pop up R2 sabre, Lando Gen blaster and VC Jawa (too vary of fakes)) I am really proud of my collection. Ther are a few variants thrown in for good measure too.

And to think, when they were released, some figures like Yak Face were sitting on the shelves by the truckload. I remember buying five for $10, and giving them away to friends.
