I'm not much of a collector, so I've never really tracked the relative values of the "rare" figures, nor have I had any of them before (nor have I cared). But I recently purchased a bunch of second edition Dark Elves as a lot off eBay and it turned out that one of them happened to be the Dark Elf Catcher #3 that's listed as "Unreleased / Very Rare" on www.midgardbb.com.

Now, I seem to remember that this figure isn't really all that rare compared to some of the others, so I know he's not worth an insane amount like a Res GR or Lizzie Cheerleader or anything. But not being a collector, I don't have much use for him to just be sitting around, and I don't have much use for him as a gaming figure, either (I do actually use DE Catchers, but already have the ones I need). Therefore, I figured I'd ask those who might know better, just what he might actually be worth before I go just sticking him in a diorama I'm planning, or something similar.

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions!

Imho he does'nt look that much diferent from DE catcher No.2 (Slightly longer plume & a chin guard).

Has your guy been painted or is he bare metal & does he still have his slotta on his feet? Good condition is the key to a good price!

Basically he's only worth what someone is willing to pay for him.

No, he's not that much different from the other two, although the key difference is the hands -- rather than having a closed fist against his stomach, the Catcher #3 figure has a flat, open palm so that his two hands together are in much more of a "catching" position than the other two figures.

For the record, he was primered black but then probably saw a good deal of use after, as lot of it's been worn off; this is true of all the other figures in the lot I'd bought. He does have his slotta intact.

As for him being worth what someone's willing to pay, that much really goes without saying. But there's obviously a wide span of what these rare (or so-called rare, in some cases) figures tend to go for and while I wouldn't actually expect this one to be anywhere near the high end, based on what I recall reading in past discussions, I know there are some hard-core collectors on here who could probably offer a general approximation of what they've gone for in the past based on their experience. That's all I was really looking for.
