Kenner / LL Raised Bar, No COO figure update:

Picked up a second Raised Bar figure. Different leg markings to the previous figure. I am Still hunting for the third raised bar variant.

Again, this figure is quite worn, especially the face paint application. Not sure if this is a common problem with this particular variant? Any advice appreciated.

Here's a picture of the two Raised Bar figures side by side. As you can see the face paint application wear on both figures is almost identical..

Leg Markings:

The latest figure shown below on the right comes with the markings, III.L.3a. as shown on Wolffs guide.
There are a couple of differences. The 'Made in' is slightly more blurred. Secondly, the Raised Bar is cut short on the leg and is not a complete oval shape

A quirky feature on the latest figure is the fact that the figure comes with two different colour boots! Just shows that the various different colours can even be found on one figure

This makes it an extremely rare eBay variant :lol: :lol:

Awesome update Jeff, funny to see the different color of boots on the same figure, I also think I have one :? :lol:

Maybe we should compare the coo if I still have that luke

If I remember correct I also have some lobot figures with one yellow and one white arm :lol:

Blonde hair figures:

Two of the figures I have came with Blonde hair, One Hong Kong and the latest 'Made in Hong Kong' figure. As can be seen here one has much lighter blonde almost white/blonde hair compared to the dark blonde hair on the 'Made in Hong Kong ' figure.

Hong Kong COO figure update:

With thanks to Andy aka 'Cazza' here is a nice variant on this figure. Both figures appear to have Hong Kong COO 1.1a leg markings. Although there are a couple of differences, shown below.

The latest figure shown, on the right, has much lighter brown hair. It also has different colour boots and paint application.

The leg markings are also slightly different. Both figures have the gap between the two lines of markings. However, the new figure has a noticeably smaller '0' in the 1980 date stamping.

Head Sculpts:
Both figures appear to have very different Head sculpts and paint application:
