I recently received an email from a Franz B. that has been able to take a few pictures of some official Lego prototype minifigures from a collector in France.  The collector states that he acquired these figures from an event/show in Billund, Denmark in early 2000.  Based on my review of all of these photos and especially the orange c-3p0 that I have had a close up experience with in the past, these all look to be legit.  The only one that I was unable to find any details online about was the Cloud City Boba Fett minifigure from 10123.

However, with that said, I seam to remember someone posting pics of this guys a few years back on EuroBricks.  I was just unable to locate them this morning.  I always seem to have a problem searching for old posts on EuroBricks since these keywords are so common.   I also would like to grab my chewi figure and do some additional comparisons to the mold marks to see how they compare.

The orange c-3po pictures and the red Darth Vader helmet and the George Lucas figure are from previous finds that I have posted about earleir.  The rest all came from this collector in France.

Here is the auction for when the George Lucas figure sold a few years back on ebay for about 2300.  The orange c-3p0 in the pictures was from the same seller on eBay.

I checked ebay and they currently have a red prototype helmet available.  That is the only prototype that I could find right now.  This one here.

Here was the last auction for the orange c-3po prototype on eBay.  This one is no longer available.

Here are the additional pictures from Franz.  Just click on the pictures to see the higher resolution images.  I am going to try to do some more research on these and then possibly add a few of these to the top 100 list of Lego Minifigures.

Red Chewbacca

 

Orange C-3po

Boba Fett with different Arm Printing.

Red Lando

Yellow C-3po

Red Jar Jar

I also remember seeing a few of these available from time to time back in the day on bricklink years ago.  However, I was only smart enough to pick up the red darth vader prototype helmet at the back in 2003 or 2004.

In addition, I am going to add a little extra credibility to these figures because I attempted to purchase two of them and the collector was not interested in selling them at all.

If you like the prototype figures, I have a few other posts about these here.  Just scroll down once you click on them.  My favorite is this one.  The red Green Goblin Mask.

Finally, here is a screen shot of a picture that was I have seen online a few times.  Does anyone know where this was taken?  This appears to be from years ago.

Thanks for looking.
