Tamer your collection is awesome and that's a great entertainment center for your display.

Benjani that looks similiar to the chinese ep1 bootlegs I have.

You can see they are held together the same way and the articulation is the same, along with the two screws on the back. If I had to guess I'd say it's from the same bootleggers.

They are nice conversation pieces, but other than that other than some of the vintage bootlegs out there don't really expect this to have too much value.

I think I am gonna split this topic as it would make a great topic to have in the general collecting threads.
