Teebo Key Ring: Becoming More Common?

Over the years, a few Teebo key rings have surfaced at auction, this year a few more appeared - making this collectible a bit more common to find. We also have confirmation from a Spanish seller that these were indeed produced as a novelty item. The various Ewoks were most often produced as key rings, though a Dulok sample has also been found. Teebo is the most common, followed by Latara.

Unpainted C-3PO

This is the first unpainted C-3PO I've seen from the Comics Spain line - it sold at auction with no details about its origin. Is it an error? An unpainted prototype? Its also possible that this item was customized, by having the paint stripped. There are unfortunately no details yet to shed light on this items history. With it coming from Spain via auction, my guess is that it was simply a production piece that was never painted.

Kneesaa: More Paint Errors Surfacing

A couple more paint errors for the Comics Spain Kneesaa figure have surfaced at auction. They sport the same error as previously discussed - the flower stem is painted brown instead of green. The error has only been seen with the yellow flower - but the first sample with a purple flower and the error stem has surfaced.

C-3PO: Rare Bootleg

Most C-3PO bootleg figures (based on the Comics Spain sculpt) are considered uncommon, but this picture, sent in by a viewer is truly rare. The dark green (hard as opposed to rubber) plastic and silver paint combination on this German bootleg is not often seen or available at auction.

Dulok Key Ring Surfaces!

For the first time, a Dulok key ring has surfaced via an auction in Spain. This is the only Dulok I've seen produced / converted in this way thus far. Certainly a rarity, as others like Teebo are more common.
