Doctor Who Figure Experts.
Hey I'm looking for 5" figure collectors to shed some light on this situation involving the Sycorax Leader figure.
So I remember before Character Options Re-released the old figures, the Sycorax Leader was the rarest figure of the bunch and cost upwards of £100 to get on eBay.
Now they've re-released the figures they've dramatically dropped in price but still sometimes go for about £15-20.
The difference in packaging was that the old figures had a blue backing, and the new have a red backing.
So anyway, I went into my local comic book store and there was a deal on doctor who figures, 3 for £10 on the sale ones. So I managed to pick up this version of the sycorax leader.

There was only one left, the rest were re-release. It was dirt cheap and I was stunned how cheap I got it.
Now I'm curious, I've had an eBay search and found 2 different versions of the sycorax leader on blue backing board...here
According to eBay this is Wave 1 figure.
and according to eBay, this is the USA version.
I'd like to know which is the rarest in the UK and if they differ in any way apart from the white sticker in the top corner and the red back to the sycorax picture on the USA version, or if the eBay sellers are correct. Help me shed some light on what I've bought!
And for the sake of it, this is the re-release.
So, any comments on this or any other figure related stuff to comment on too, cause I also saw the 'time crash' figures for £25 and thought it was cheap until I saw there were 2 versions of that too :/
