Guys just a heads up there is a new REPRO Yoda Orange Yoda Snake has hit the market and its made from Plastic so be careful!

Here is a picture from the auction -



I may need to purchase one to get high resolution pictures so we can see what or if anything sets it apart from the real thing.

Let me know if you need someone to contribute some funds Jay.

Edit: fucking autocomplete on mobile phones.

Geez, the scammers out there are realy fkn up the vintage with repro crap.

Good work Jay

Dan.

Guys I need you help!

Can everone with loose yodas put the snake in water and let me
know on this thread if it floats or sinks.

I got one of these Repros in the post and will be posting more info later.

Cheers jay

I got these 3 Yodas but i now belive the orange snake is fake as its platic not rubber but all 3 snakes sink, The detail on the orange is a lot lower quality than the other 2

All I have is the brown snake. It sunk like a rock. Hope that helps.

Just checked my orange snake, sunk fast than the Titanic.

Guys original Yoda Snakes actually sink in water so your all ok

Here is a few pictures of the new Yoda Snake REPRO Against an Original can you tell which is which?

Any takers on the above photos?

I have to say this is the best REPRO to hit the market ever and is near identical to the original!

The more people that can do the float test on their genuine Yoda Snakes the better!!

Myself and Emiel have been buying up these new style REPRO's so we can collate the research and put together a guide to benefit all vintage collectors but without your help we can only go so far.

At the moment all the tests carried out show that Original Snakes sink but i need to confirm that this is the case across the board and includes all the different versions / releases of Yoda so your input will be invaluble.

Cheers Jay

3 X orange snakes: all sank. Is the top snake the same as the bottom one?
EDIT: 5 X brown snakes (including LL) sank

From the first pix, the top is real, bottom repro. Thats going by the scales on the snake. The circles are a give away.

Another thing is the eye detail looks too sharp compared to the real one. They are getting better at the craft.

Man... some people!!!

I wonder how much some of these repro dealers make in a year?!?!?!?
