Looks like CXR Jed being passed off as vintage JWA

Thoughts on this:

I think the tell-tale signs are the seller admits the soft bedroll and the bugle. As we know, having the bugle is nigh impossible and the bugle by itself would command more than the starting bid on this figure easy.

Jayworld,

One thing we can be pretty certain about is that it's a vintage body. Probably the steel blue Maddox body if I were to guess. The lower arms are a dead giveaway that it's a vintage body. But the head appears to be CXR along with the accessories. In my opinion nothing is vintage JWA Jed Gibson in this auction. Even if it's a true Jed body and head the price is too high for me.

I think he knows JW figures enough to answer any questions with certainty. So if anyone is interested I would recommend asking questions before purchasing.

The head looks new and the gold pieces look like the cxr color. Maybe the seller but it from M Dube.

Not sure, but it is indeed not a vintage Jed Gibson.

Kind of on topic but there is a Pit Pinero currently available on Ebay. Don't have the number handy but it came up over the weekend.
