HISTORY Section :
A little history of the Star Wars Mako Moulage :
The French society Mako has re-release the old boxes of Star Wars plaster
moulds.
They are a few assortments :
- common boxes with only one figure (Luke X-Wing Pilot or Darth Vader)
- uncommon box with 5 figures (Darth Vador, R2-D2, Leia, Ben, Luke X-Wing
Pilot)
- very rare box with 8 figures (Darth Vador, C-3PO, R2-D2, Leia, Ben, Luke
X-Wing Pilot, Han Solo Hoth Gears, Chewbecca) (THIS BOX IS VERY RARE,
YOU COULD TRY TO FIND THIS ON E-BAY, IT'S NEVER SELL).
The plaster mould is funny for the children that would play, but for the
adult that want to custom the figures. Some people don't put plaster in the
mould but use some plastic of metal (I don't have the correct reference, but
it's product that you don't need to burn... They become solid in normal
temperature).
Perhaps it's because Mako is part of the French society Nathan Jeux that the
boxes are sell only in a few European countries. The complete box with the
8 figures are sell only in France, in Belgium and in Luxembourg (I think).
In 1998, the society Ravensburger will buy the society Mako and will abandon
the Star Wars section (the licence from Lucas is loose). Ravensburger will
not have the licence from Lucas from the plaster moulds of Star Wars Episode
One.
Today, it's possible to found sometimes the common boxes with one figure.
It's more difficult to have the uncommon box with 5 figures. And, of
course, it's very hard to found the complete box of 8 figures.
For information, the price of the boxes in 1997 in Belgium are the following
:
- Boxes with one figure : $5
- Box with 5 figures : $20
- Box with 8 figures : $35
Today, I will give you one indicative quotation of these items :
- Boxes with one figure : between $2 and $25 (it depend of the figure, the
Luke X-Wing is very common; when you found boxes, the condition are many
times between C5 and C8, many times not sealed)
- Box with 5 figures : between $15 (C5-C7, box not sealed) and $60 (C9-C10,
box sealed)
- Box with 8 figures : between $30 (C4-C7, box not complete and not sealed)
and $300 (C9-C10, box sealed)
Because, the boxes contains plaster, the ship cost is expensive (the box of
8 figures contains 2 plaster bags).
