I don't claim to be an expert but what I consider to be the early first 12 is something that interests me a lot, I can't say with concrete proof which loose figure came of which card and which came first and I don't think anyone can really and that's cool because where would be the fun in that
My focus is the early hk figures and I'm basing the brown paint theory on the information I have gathered from other collectors and my study of many 12 back figures still attached to the card and pictures of EB kits. After a while of studying the early figures its almost like you get a feel for them if that makes sense with there paint and sculpts etc. it's my opinion that the early hk figures came with the brown paint on the eyes, I've also found that the paint on the hands tends to be a pinkish colour (leia, Han and Luke and Ben) or slightly yellowish, all the loose ones I have had through my hands have this in common with the brown paint and the hk coo.
Do your white hair bens have a hk coo and if they do what colour is the eye paint? On the one hand you close me down by saying that's not correct (white hair) then you say you never payed that much attention to it when I reply, I can't see how you can say I'm wrong (not claiming to be right :lol: ) and then say you never payed attention :?
June I can't say for certain that all the EB kits came with green weapons and tbh I'm pretty sure they didn't, I have been lucky enough to have had a thew of the figures (loose) I spoke of above through my hands complete with the original green weapon. Also I've noticed that palitoy 12 backs did not come with the early release sabers with the letter on the hilt which would make sense as i would presume the US had the figures before the uk and the rest of the world.
