does anyone know how attakus numbered their vader 1? i realize that they made 1500 of the european version and another 200 of the japanese version. they are the exact same statue with different numbering system. therefore, in reality, there are really 1700 vader attakus 1 statues, right?

anyways, my buddy has a statue numbered "HC32 / 1500" handwritten on the bottom. does the "HC" mean anything? any info is appreciated.

THANKS!

Yup, 1700 pieces. 1500 pieces plus 200 from the Japanese edition. HC it's artist proof.

Well, I already saw many artist proofs statues made by Attkaus. I think most(if not all) companies makes artist proofs.

Many people pay higher price for artist proof pieces, so in theory yes.

the box seems to have some tape residue on it. would or should that decrease its value?

voodoo, I don't think that a little of tape residue on the box would decrease it's value. A very broken one just sold for $500+, with no box and COA.

Go for it! :thumbs2: :buttrock:
