Hi
I have an Alan Smith figure that is silver all over (it looks like a 'brushed' silver with black in the creases). There is no MC number or scores on the base - does anyone know anything about these type of figures - where are they from? Are they rare? Are they worthless?

theyre quite rare but only to someone who really wants them. They used the series 3 microstar series to promotoe them and there are gold and silver. Heres my two larsson ones but beware of imitations....

Yes Rikky is correct. Beware of immitations!

A certain seller from Asia (I've forgot the seller ID) has spray painted other microstars and has tried selling them on eBay as rarities!
