| Hey all just found this minifgure and bought it. Just wondering if the bent antenna
on his head is rare? I know it’s bent but there are no stress marks or anything
to suggest the bend is intentional.
It is hard plastic so not flexible or anything.
How much is this worth? Is it rare?

probably just some bending that didn't leave a mark or is difficult to see

Typically the manufacturing errors that are valuable are things you can't
recreate and that are without a benefit of a doubt, a factory error. Stuff like
short shots, doubled/misplaced prints and marbling.
This would be hard to prove as a legitimate error since injection molding cannot
cause something to be a different shape entirely. If that error did happen in
factory, it's possible that the piece was popped out of it's mold while
still warm and ended up like that. But then again, anyone could recreate that
error with heat on a regular piece.
It's not a particularly desirable figure either, so I reckon it's not
worth a whole lot. Still a cool novelty if you believe it's legitimate!

| Thanks for that in depth explanation. Quite interesting.
I bought it at near mint this afternoon, the placard said taken direct from polybag
and the seller in question had no clue about it. So I do beleive it is a legitimate
slight mis mould or slight off mould.
Thanks for your help,
