Atomic Man rarity?

Now this I hadn't seen before, a very late bagged Atomic Man.
Here's the E-bay link.....

2 hours to go....what will it reach?

we were chatting about this guy on chat the other night. An original one, with original bag and tag are very rare and sought after, however, winch said that he had asked these questions and the seller could not confirm whether or not this was original   

Ummmmm suppose it would be fairly easy to mock up. I expect it'll fetch a fair amount though. And I really do need to pop into chat more often :-)

He's being upfront and honest about not being able to confirm details though, isn't he?    

If I understand this right, seller's not sure about the poly bag being original? And there is no badge on the overalls, so presumably the actual figure isn't necessarily the one that came in the bag, which leaves a lot of money for a header card?

Not criticising or having a pop at anybody who is after this at all - it's just a good reminder for us all to look closely at sales, because this isn't quite what you might think it is when you see that first pic of Atomic Man with coptor in a polybag

Yep i agree

Its the header card that is original not the bag so your correct it is alot of money for the top card but thats rare enough in itself i suppose to warrant that sort of money i suppose.

£200 smackeroos  

HMMMMMM either they're not as rare as we thought or the buyer is trying to turn a quick profit!

Or maybe it was a West Midlands exclusive? Or perhaps someone is printing header cards?

Different seller but only a few miles from the last seller!

Thoughts? Opinions?

Hmmmmmmm too :-). Is it possible that a box of unopened Atomic men from the end of the Pallitoy era exist? Much in the same was as ALL those talking space ranger torso's. Or is it more likely that with a decent print bob's your uncle and Fanny's your Aunt, or Fanny's your uncle and Bob's your aunt :-). I digress but I've often thought about the star scheme with today's technology more stars than sales would exist and Pallitoy would have been fleeced of all those tool boxes and Canadian Mounties!!

went for £206 in the end

Only Joking     

These must be fairly easy to reproduce in this day and age, any of you tech savvy chaps fancy a new project?, I'll have a couple for a start!
