[QUOTE="laurencedyer, post: 485092, member: 5990"] I don't agree with the whole variant specific to a country theory. Kenner probably had different factories making figures that would be intended to supply specific countries hence why regular COO's are found on figures more often in one country than an other, giving reasoning to term that style of figure moulding to a specific country. My belief is that as and when demand was required by different countries, Kenner would redirect the figures from other factories regardless to the intended destination to keep feeding the hot markets. Which factory in which country the figures would have been made in would have been irrelevant to keep the supply flowing to the hot markets in the aim of maximising profits through sale. The four baggies and the two carded figures below all came from the Coalville factory and were part of my C3P0 case find. The Han Bespin is a no coo variant which is regarded as a Ledy. TIG have it classified as a Kenner/Ledy figure. This was in a Palitoy Q Made in China baggie which assisted to determine the actual coo for it to a coo / variant hunter with a Han Bespin focus. He told me that the early releases were all Hong Kong figures and that the no coo / Ledy Han Bespins had not been seen in a baggie before although the PBP found in Meccano baggies. This actual figure to baggie classification is so far the only one observed and documented but was clearly bagged in the Far East for supply to Coalville and the UK market. To play devils advocate you could speculate due to no ledy's being found in a baggie that the no coo variant was made and sent to the UK, opened for carding and then redirected to a Ledy factory. I am only playing of cause but adds foundation to my beliefs. The next three baggies, Ackbar, Bib & Ree Yees are in Kenner ROTJ-h baggies. Until the find these three figures in that specific baggie classification had not previously been documented. Just one other example of figures initially destined for one market sent to another, presumably to meet demand. Both the Kenner 77 back & Trlilogo Emperor carded figures were from the same find and direct from Palitoy. One more example of stock redirected when required. There are many more examples such as these, just 4 items from the same batch that are contrary to the accepted belief.
