HI Everyone

I've been offered some m unifies that were framed in a case for a guy's
son. I think I've found most of them on here and have a rough value in my
head but I can't find the ones in the picture and am worrying they are fake,

I can't find. C-3PO with a silver arm anywhere ? and the allahu akbar with
black hands seems a bit off, only ones I can find have dark reddish brown ones
?

alarm bells are ringing so should I stay away ? Apologies for the poor photo
its from the listing and all I have to go off.

Thanks for any help.

It is very easy to exchange arms and hands so it doesnt really tell you much.
Ask the direct question - are the minifigures genuine LEGO. Or better still,
ask if you can examine them.

Thanks for the reply, I did ask if they were all genuine orininal and he said
he thinks they are but can't be sure.

I can examine them fully as they are sealed in these picture frames and I would
need to dismantle them and I can't do that if I then don't buy them.

I think it's best to avoid this one just in case, Thanks

If someone says they can't be sure, I'd leave it. It normally means they
aren't genuine.
