[QUOTE="darth_daddius, post: 425470, member: 5613"] Japan! Star Wars figures had three versions. The first was the Japanese COO Vader with a white background. This is sometimes confused with a Kenner cardback if the Takara sticker falls off. The lack of a COO on the Reverse of the Cardback is the giveaway that they are Japanese carded figures: [img]http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/2566/SW_Takara_12c_White_Background_.JPG[/img] [img]http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/2566/SW_Vader_Takara_12c_White_Background_Rev.JPG[/img] Then are two versions of Kenner cards with different Takara Stickers over the Kenner logo - one with 'ST' and one without: [img]http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/2566/SW_Takara_12b.JPG[/img] [img]http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/2566/SW_Takara_no_ST_12b_AFA85.JPG[/img] Then there is the very cool 8 inch version: [img]http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/2566/SW_Vader_Takara_8_Inch_Front.JPG[/img] [img]http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/2566/SW_Vader_Takara_8_Inch_Rev.JPG[/img] ESB versions were only in the very quirky POPY boxes with sealed baggies: [img]http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/2566/DSC09421.JPG[/img] Jedi put a sticker on the back of 65 back cards: [img]http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/2566/ROTJ_Tsukuda_65a.JPG[/img] [img]http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/2566/ROTJ_Tsukuda_65a_back.JPG[/img] Then there is this strange figure that I guess came from the Star Wars era: [img]http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/2566/SW_Vader_Takara_6inch_Boxed_1.JPG[/img] [ATTACH type="full" alt="SW Vader Takara 6inch Boxed 7.JPG"]22464._xfImport[/ATTACH] Cheers, Pat [/QUOTE]
