This guy's selling "vintage" Star Wars figures on ebay... can anyone
tell me if they're worth anything?

THis is apparently Leia:

and this is apparently a 1981 Bespin Guard (not too sure about this
one):
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5918461137&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

and who the hell is this?! Doesn't look like Han Solo to me...

any help would be great... thanks!

Hello Paul.
They are indeed Star Wars figures. The first two are vintage and
worth about $1 each. If they had weapons, they would be worth more.
The last one is from 1995 and is probably worth 50 cents at best (no
package and incomplete).

Specifically they are:

- Princess Leia Organa (Bespin Gown)
which should have a vinyl cape and a gun.

- Bespin Guard
which also comes in a white-skin versions (with and without
mustache) and all should have a gun

- Han Solo (Carbonite)
which should come with a carbonite block that the figure fits
into the back of.

You're right, this figure looks nothing like Han Solo, in fact
it looks more like someone I used to work with. :-)


Although it's difficult to tell exactly which release from just the
photo of a loose figure, so they may also have originally come with
other bits (eg. a Collectors Coin with Han Solo).

As Andy says above, they're not worth much loose and incomplete.
