What is the signifigance of the Star Wars POTF Boba Fett Figure with half Circles on Hands?
by andre1 on August 2, 2009
I have been going through my figure collection and remembered that the Boba Fett figure with the half circles on his hands that I have is supposed to be rare or something. Does anybody know if that is true and how much it would be worth? I have a ton of figures in storage and I'm starting to go through them again and my memory about certain figures has faded a bit. Please Help!
The Boba Fett Figure with half circles on the hands was a production prototype, and not very many were made, which makes them rare. A production prototype means the company created a few of a certain design and marketed them, then based on the actual sales, either put he original design into production, or made some changes in the design and re-marketed and sold the new designs. The design was changed (no circles) before the full production was put in action. Value? Try this website:

There can be a lot of difference. A working prototype is often cobbled together by a mechanic. A market prototype is more refined , and is an element in test marketing.
I have had experience with building prototype bicycles, and I have a few photos to share:
This is Type 3, which has a fairing made of Kevlar (Dupont trademark aramid fiber) built in 1987:
After testing it on people, other suggestions were taken into consideration. The next photo is of the Type 9, built in 1993, and made of fiberglass. The fairing is smaller because testing the larger fairing in Florida revealed that the riders got to hot, it blocked off air. Also, the newer fairing has a storage compartment big enough for 12 x 12ounce beverage cans. And the new design has the fairing mounted to the frame, not the handlebars, so it is much more stable. This bike cost $270.00 to build and sold (Dutch Auction) for $1,200.00.
This photo is of the Type 7, which I did not sell. The fairing was designed by the same women who designed the Type 9:
I skipped using the number eight, because , like a game of pool, I want the eightball to be last.
Since building these bikes , there has been a lot of electric bikes going into production in China, some 16 million per year. So I would like to cut my losses by bringing in bikes from China. Maybe I will continue to build my own on a one-time, custom basis, but the consumer is only concerned about cost.
