Variations

This section is broken down into three parts. First, we will describe what we call "Pricing Variations". These are differing characteristics in the figure that have a large impact on price. Second, we will look at more distinctive variations that we have identified that may be of interest to collectors. Thirdly, we'll provide links to other variation resources. No one place can cover it all!

We curently classify all Bespin Security Guard (White) figures in just one Pricing Variation.

The white Bespin Security Guard has 5 major COOs, that we then split to 6 to differentiate between manufacturers. We then split the first 2 variants by mustache length - giving us a total count of 8 variations!

Technically, there is a LOT of variation when it comes to the mustache. We split them into two major categories: long and short. We classify a mustache as long if it extends way past the line formed by the upper and lower lips. We classify it as short if it extends to, or just slightly beyond that same line.

Besides being different lengths, the mustaches can be different shapes as well. The long mustaches come in varying ranges of arches to almost perfectly squared. The short mustaches also vary in length, arch, and what I call crispness - the Pochs we reviewed (6 for this article) for the most part had these perfect, slightly curved comet shapes, with a very nice paint application (which is kind of ironic for Poch, who is is known for spotty paint jobs!).

Outside the 'stache, you do see some variation in the paint of the cuff and hand. The major tell between the Poch white Bespin Guard (Var 4) and the Kader (Var 3) is the paleness of the Poch's hands. Var 4 also has a pretty deep red cuff, usually very poorly applied. The Var 6 No COO variant also tends to be deeper red than the other variants. But we always advise caution when using a color as a differentiator - it can be VERY difficult to tell the shades apart.

The white Bespin Security is a pretty commonly found, fairly inexpensive figure. Generally speaking, the short mustaches are harder to find than the long staches. But similar to the black Bespin Security Guard, the No COO (Var 6) is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find. If you see one, buy it! Though we can't speak to pricing on it it, because it just doesn't come up for sale that often.

General advice for selling vintage Star Wars collectibles:

The following suggestions are intended to help you get the best price possible for the figure you are trying to sell, whether you are selling on eBay, Mercari, or any other online platform.

Best Platforms for Selling Vintage Star Wars Action Figures

Every platform has its advantages. If you have a solid brand built in a particular platform - you should definitely sell there. In general, our top pick is eBay. Yes, we are an eBay affiliate, but eBay is a solid, reputable platform that has been around as long as e-commerce. People trust it, and it has solid protections for sellers and buyers. Other platforms like FaceBook Market Place, Mercari, Etsy, and even Poshmark are all solid platforms, but most sellers do not rely on any one of them singly. Often, if you find a listing on one of these platforms, it is likely cross-listed on eBay. So if you are looking to post on a single online platform, eBay is our top recommendation. For local sales, FaceBook Market Place and Craigslist are your best bets. Facebook will probably get you a larger audience, but Craigslist still attracts a large group of people that shy away from social media.

Tips For Listing Vintage Star Wars Action Figures Online

  • Take clear, close-up photos of the figure, including the following:
    • Full body from the front, back, sides AND top.
    • Close ups of the accessory/weapon, by itself, from both sides.
  • Take photos of any damaged areas, including scratches, rubbed off paint, or discoloration.
  • Take photos of the figure standing without help of a stand if you can to demonstrate the tightness of the legs.
  • Take photos of the figure with arms extended to demonstrate the tightness of the arms.
  • Any the above photo suggestions can of course be combined to minimize the number of photos you need to take/upload. Consider an action pose of the figure from an angle, with weapon in hand, and the head pointed at the camera. This demonstrates a number of traits while at the same time making a cool main photo.
  • If the arms and/or legs are loose, disclose that in the listing.
  • If there is any damage or discoloration, disclose that in the listing.
  • DO NOT buy reproduction weapons to sell with a figure to make them "look complete". Collectors do NOT want reproduction items and your reputation can be ruined for selling them. Do your best to verify the weapon with resources like The Imperial Gunnery. If you can't verify it, mention that in the listing. The more effort you put into knowing the product, the more trust you will earn from the buyers!
  • DO NOT post a figure with a vintage accessory that does not go with it and claim that's it's "100% original". Even if the accessory is an original, if it doesn't go to the figure - no one wants to buy it that way. You are better off listing the accessory separately.
  • Avoid using the phrase "No Repro" in the listing to try to indicate that it's all original. Many serious collectors have advanced searches that they use, and frequently block "repro" in the search. So, even though you have a "no" in there, you may be losing some of your audience. Instead, use phrases like "100% original" or "complete and all original vintage accessories".
  • Do NOT post fuzzy or out of focus pictures. Buyers will likely think that you either don't know what you are doing, or that you are trying to hide something about the figure.
  • You do not need fancy cameras to take good pictures for your posting. An older cell phone can often take perfect photos. If you are having trouble getting a clear shot, consider getting or making a simple mount for your phone. This will hold it steady for you while you make sure it gets in focus.
