  Hello,
I need your help once. I have received a Yoda minifigure and would like an expertise
on the authenticity of this figure. The torso has a Lego lettering on it, but
I'm not sure if the printing on the shirt wasn't applied afterwards.
Thank you for your help!

I have 3 of these. One of them is still sealed in it's original bag, and
I got two from very reputable sellers many years ago, with documentation and
history. All three I have are like the other posters described, letters are a
bit thinner than yours, and the heart is a bit more pointed. In my opinion, the
one you have is likely fake.

A side-by-side comparison with the Bricklink catalog image of the printing does
show some slight differences (specifically the shape of the lower point of the
heart and its' positioning)...

I agree with Ed as well that the heart on mine is not exactly inline with the
"I" but instead a little offset lower just like the one in the BrickLink picture.

I would say that the printing looks a lot thicker than the one that I have, and
the bottom of the heart looks more rounded than mine. Not sure if there was
much variation with that, but that's what I have to offer.

For me, the first question is where / who did you buy it from, then what is their
history selling lego, where did they say they got it from, how many have they
sold or still have for sale.

Although given the value of this part and the number of bulk lots that were sold
on ebay and various other sites (including here), I imagine it is fake.
