Luke farm boy

Right I know I am doing what I said I wouldn't and moving off track, but I have now got a real bee in my bonnet in regard to wanting a focus on Luke Farmboy

What is the best online ref tool for me re variants?

Basically what I'm asking is what are we talking as the accepted " norm" of variants on loose farm boys
Yellow hair, brown hair etc?

Was getting my head around it, the saw a post over last couple of days new user CBGB in latest acquisitions with a beautiful Luke Popy.....now that's really floated my boat absolutely love it

What will I expect to pay for a Popy and do they come up often

I said I wouldn't move from ROTJ loose run until complete, but really got a thing for LFB figures

So gents....any advice would be welcomed

Well and truly hooked now :roll: but how good is it :wink:

Hi mate,

Pomse2001 has 11 seperate Luke FB variants listed (not including Popy)

As you mentioned the variants include hair colour and pants colour, then theres the coo variants.

These are my 4 loose Luke FB's so far

Thanks bud

Nice LFB s 8)

I have the solitary figure, no saber....so he is my start point had him for longer than can remember, bit dog eared but love him
Now it's time to get him some company :roll:

The main ones that will look different and without going in to slight colour and COO differences are....

HK COO (big copyright) with yellow hair and DT saber or normal saber
HK COO (small copyright) light brown hair
HK COO (small copyright) dark brown hair
HK COO (small copyright) orange hair
China COO with yellow hair and china saber
Taiwan COO with yellow hair and Taiwan saber
No COO Luke with brown hair.

There's also PBP, meccano and POCH variants but they'll cost you many times as much as theses will, if you manage to find any that is.

So the first above...yellow hair and DT saber, is this the early bird?


Thanks bud that's really helpful for me, on a mission now :wink:

Good luck mate, he's an awesome figure for a focus. The 2 line HK is to date the only one found bagged with a DT saber, its also believed that the 3 line HK was carded with the DT on some 12backs. The DT was the first saber like the VC was the first Jawa.

Have a chat with Bram- he was starting one of these a few months ago.

Thanks guys will do

Got the itch and visited a shop I know en route to Manchester :wink:

Found a Nice Bib F no weapon, under Neath the pile was a Luke F Boy

Now I need some help with identification

Have float tested the saber, he needs a clean but pics and details below

Is this an early figure? A nice figure? I'm sure it's genuine due to what it was surrounded by and the chat I had with the old lady that ran the stall :wink:

I'm as blind as a bat but at the top on one side of the saber it looks like there is a letter? Or maybe 2 raised lines will have to investigate further

So any helpful hints here ?

Hope this helps

Cheers bud much appreciated

Going of all the info, I think I have a first 12 SW, if it is then I'm chuffed s I picked him up and a really minty Bib F ( no staff) for a £5 note for the pair...so happy with hat

Saber looks as if original as well

Hi Michael, I forgot to add that the early Luke's also have the brown facial features.

Cheers

Bloody bad eyesight I have, so been using mag glass etc,

Eyebrows and eyes look brown not black

Going to study him a bit more

But if he is early bird and with original saber, what is an average price to pay.....whatever the cost is ....he is staying with me though..been after one for ges and to pick him up as part of a pair of figs for a fiver is great and adds to the pickup

Thanks for the info bud...much appreciated

Right after checking to the best ability and all of the great information from you guys, and Wolff s guide

Light tan legs
3 line COO with the 1977 in the centre
Brown eyes and eyebrows
Yellow hair
Flesh coloured hands

Lightsaber passed the float test
Def has an E or 3 or a 1 on the top rounded edge of the saber. I can't tell

So with all of this do we think we can safely say an early bird with original saber.....that's wah5 I think now and I want it to
Be
If he is he will be my first of first 12 run

Here's my little collection so far,



From L to R.
Top: Dark pant, Blonde Taiwan, UKG Raised bar China, Light pants, Blonde Taiwan
Middle; Three Early Bird figures, all are 3 line, Hong Kong,, First up is a different head mold/paint to the other Brown painted and Black painted face EB figures.
Bottom line; Reddish/brown hair Hong Kong, Blonde hair Hong Kong

Have this minty Brown hair, No COO arriving this week hopefully

Wow jeff that's awesome

Love the LFB,
Brown hair no coo is really nice looks like it was made today...beauty 8)
Cracking little focus going there congrats

Think I'm going down that road, long and winding :roll:

Thanks mate, he's a cool figure alright. ...pm on the way
