Hello all,
Here is a photo of Boba and me circa 1980 at a public appearance at ALPHA toys in Bolton North West England. he was handing out the white rectangular boxed fett figures, so this was before he started to show on cardbacks. I am painting up two helmets at present White proto and ESB hero and can't help but notice that the two scars/scratches on the mandibles match up with the ESB hero. could this have been painted again and turned into the ESB hero? it doesn't have the dent but if you look carefully you can see the gash where the dent usually sits. In terms of the exact date of the appearance a local newspaper search would probably uncover as this was a big deal at the time and my dad and I travelled to see him from another town. Enjoy.
