Jay, the repro Madine staff and Prune Face rifle are on their way to you and should arrive soon. So no need to purchase them any more.

Hi Jay - great thread this and a valuable source of info you're building up. Good work

I have a Gammorrean Guard Axe - Original Variant 3(b) and can confirm that it sinks on the float test.

Don't have the other accs you mentioned at mo.

Nice one Emiel much appreciated buddy i wasnt sure which ones you had swapped the Yoda Snake for so ill cross them off the list

Just to add i have purchased the REPRO Anmanaman Staff and Emiel was kind enough to support this by purchasing the REPRO Madine Staff and REPRO Pruneface Rifle

Once all 3 have arrived i will take detail his res picture of all 7 of these New REPROs so we can see if there are any differences that can tell them apart from the Originals.

Thanks to everyone thats helped out so far

I tried to help

Here are the detailed pictures of the REPRO Pruneface Rifle!

Note this like the other REPRO's floats in water.

Many thanks to Emiel for buying this and the Madine Staff (posted below) for research purchases

Here are the detail pictures of the REPRO Madine Staff.

Note this REPRO floats in water.

Anyone got any thoughts on the REPRO Pruneface Rifle and REPRO Madine Staff as i dont actually own the originals loose so im relying on other peoples input

Just checked my Pruneface rifle and there are some things different.

1. In pix 3, that mark (half moon shape) by the trigger guard isn't there on the original

2. No injection mark on the stock next to the hnde grip in pix 1

3. the strap molding is too thick on the stock. Its more like a stright line and not with a bulb on the end where it connects to the strap itself.

4. theres no eye sight at the end of the barrel right before it goes to the smaller part.

5.Trigger gaurd looks too big compared to the original

6. The small piece at the end of the hand grip where it curves is too big. The curve should be smaller and not as wide, if you know what I mean.

7. the head stock should be smooth and not dimpled in as seen in pix 2.

8. The sight on top is in two pieces, not one compared to pix 3.

9. the waffle pattern on the hand grip also looks wrong, but I'm not positive.


Thats all I can see for now. I'll check it again. As for Madines staff, don't have one to compare to yet, sorry.

Great work Chris you puicked up some of the points i did

So far all of the REPRO's can be set aside from originals by 1 or more factors however at this stage we are struggling to find any differences with the REPRO / Original Madine Staffs so need people to chime in with obvervations and pictures.

Thanksfully Original Anmanaman Staffs Sink and the New REPRO Anmanaman Staff Floats apart from this factor its very hard to tell them apart here are some pictures -

I noticed a lot of pic's in thread's ar'nt working today?

I noticed that awhile ago. I was going to check the Madine staff, but can't.

me too, Jay there must be a disturbance in the Force coz the photos have gone wonky

And its not just these. I checked in the recent purchase thread and some of those are AWOL also.

Yeah there was a problem with displaying pictures yesterday dont worry guys its all been fixed now

So what do people think of the REPRO Anamanaman Staff and REPRO Madine Staff?

Here is a group shot of all 7 OF the New Wave REPRO'S

Here is the complete list of my loose collection and showing is all that come with real/repro weapons just giz a shout if you need any photo's / tests on any of them.



I also have around 100 in the shop for sale if any of them can help i can photo/test them too

Wow Thats awesome buddy!

I need high quality pictures / close ups for the following items if you can get them (they are not easy to take good pictures of)

Anamanaman Staff Original

Madine Staff Original

Ungnaught Bag Original

If you can send the pictures full size to moderators@imperialgunneryforum.com that would be great (Ill PM you my personal email)

PM sent as well bro

Cheers Jay

Here are some pictures that ive managed to locate

Ideally i'd like to get some more close up pictures of an Orginal Anamanaman Staff (See angles as the REPRO Pictures in this thread) if anyone can help with that

I just checked my Amanaman staff and I have to say they got that one pretty much nailed. Theres not much difference in them to tell. Maybe some small detail thats different, but its hard to find it.

Great detective work Jay and Chris on the repro vs originals. Gandalf that's a great comprehensive list you've supplied too.
Well done lads.

Jay those repros look scarily realistic in the photos - the Pruneface rifle and Gam axe are the only ones that look a bit suspect
as they appear 'waxy' in the pics. The others look like the real thing. Sorry I can't help out much at mo. I can confirm, though, that the ERG staff I own looks like the original variant 1 version and it does float when taking the test.

Keep up the great work

Just an update im Lee sent some awesome pictures of an original Madine Staff to me but i still can see any differences between the Madine REPRO and the Madine Original so im gonna buy a conmplete madine off ebay (yes i hate the figure and it pains me but needs must) so i can do full camparision pictures of the 2 weapons side by side and hopefully identifiy a way to tell them apart at this stage the only thing i think maye tell them apart is colour the original staffs seem slightly off white almost a cream colour whilst the REPRO staff is very white again i cant confirm this until i have both side by side.

I have just purchased 8 more vintage REPRO's that are not catolouged on the Intertnet a big thanks to Chris and AJ for help in fund this further research Once we they arrive we can get to work on them here then he next step will be the REPRO Droid / Ewok weapons.

Cheers Jay

A new batch of REPRO's arrived in the post today so a big thanks to AJ and Chris J for helping out with getting them

Ill post more over the weekend but here is the new Bikerscout Blaster REPRO





Cheers Jay

i got luke storm trooper helm this week ill get both lots of photo's sorted this weekend

That Biker Scout pistol looks horrible....dont know who that would fool.

i had planned on buying a few of these to use on my custom scouts but the moldings ar soooooo bad ill just either leave them without or use slightly ropey originals to paint up
