*Update* Palitoy, 12 Backs, Foreign, AT-AT Driver focus MOCs

[Cazza]

Very nice- perfect figure for a focus- one of my favs as well 8)

Haha. Don't tell Lom

FFS! :lol:

Update. Added AT-AT Driver 41 Back E. I have decided this MOC is my favourite, so am going to do my first figure focus. I won't be doing anything like going after pre-production, proofs etc, just the the various MOCs. Just to give you a heads up to not go after this figure too and make me pay more for it

Good choice! The Palitoy 30bk At-At driver is one of the best looking cardbacks you can get IMO - hope you manage to score one of those at some point.

Bid on last couple at Vectis, but was right outside of what I'm prepared to pay. To be brutally honest, I think the colours of Palitoy logo clash with the colours of the AT-AT carback and figure. I prefer the Kenner visually. Don't hurt me

Don't worry bud, I'm not a big spender. If I buy one MOC every 3 months for around the £200 mark I'd be surprised. That is unless work gets better

Great update, I love that AT-AT driver moc 8)

Hi ! -

I'm following your thread about coo variations by/with plaintainman, loving it. A newbie reading everything to try to find out more about this amazing world. Its so weirdly complex! Anyhow - this is the first reply I send on any Star Wars-forum and it's because I saw your Han Solo displays and your Want-list. I think I have a couple of things you might be interested in -

Han solo Bespin Outfit (the largest logo of) Palitoy 30 cardback with original bubble cut at at the top amazing condition
han solo big head loose in nm or so condition, really tight limbs, no Coo, no coo-scar, really nice paintjob etc. Should be sent to AFA or something like it..
carded complete Empire Strikes Back Princess Leia Organa Palitoy 45-back unpunched with the Bounty Hunter offer - OMG you should see it on display! At this moment on my wall together with:
Carded R2-D2 Taiwan Version from 1977 nm on nm Kenner 12A Cardback!
Carded Chewbacca Early Bird with Green Bowcaster on HK Kenner 12B Cardback and original bubble just as the Bespin-solo cut at the top,.

(2 rather worn cardbacks 48 for AT-AT driver; both with the "FREE! 4-LOM"-offer; both from 1982, both Kenner, both Hong Kong, the display different yellow colourtones and different black shades/nuances)

(also, carded Han solo Trenchcoat Palitoy Trilogo and carded Han Solo in Carbonite complete, and some loose han solo figures- amongst what ought to be most interesting a Lili Ledy Han in / without trenchcout, some loose coo-variants Bespin-Han etc.)


Also I have a question. Please help me with this: How should a Han Solo Bespin Outfit be stamped / look to fit into the Palitoy 30 Cardback I have? Why isnt there a guide for what goes and what doesnt go on palitoy/tri-logo cardbacks?

I live in Sweden, no problem sending stuff via mail etc. Where do you live? Do you want me to send photos/pictures of what i have? Anything at all you're interested in?

Thanks for your interest, but I won't be buying anything for a while, and don't want to swap any of my pieces.

Really great collection my friend. Always good to see the variations plus those from around the World. Thank you for sharing.

 

[olisuds]

Wow really nice collection and awesome pics. Think I need some tips on how to get photos like that.

Cheers. They are low resolution annoyingly when you put lots together like this.

My set up is quite a big one. I have a powerful work lamp set off to the side, a big diffuser in between it and the MOC, white background, and the camera on a tripod. I do a long extended exposure to get good sharpness all the way from the front of the figure to the card. I do this for both insurance, and marks I can look out for if anything is ever stolen.

 

[olisuds]

That turns out beautifully.

I have a light tent and a couple of lamps but I can't seem to prevent major reflections and colour wash out. I've given up trying to photograph graded MOCs in the light tent and have taken to photographing proof cards on a white background outside in the shade where they appear to have a truer colour.
