2 QUESTIONS PLEASE!

[browny]

Hello gents

Basically i'v 2 questions about loose figures that have stumped me,i'm relatively new to the loose part of collecting and have come across 2 interesting (or maybe not!) items.

The first is princess leia organa,so what i have is 5 loose graded figures and all of them are made in hong kong,but instantly i noticed that one of the 5 figures is very different to the other 4,she has a far darker brown paint on her hair,her hands and facial features are bigger and her belt is black instead of brown and also has different buckle and badges,her skin complexion is also far paler than the others?any help on this would be appreciated,thanks.

2nd is walrusman,nothing overly bizarre here but i'm just intrigued as to why there is no coo or any form of origin on him,i mean i know loads of figures have no coo but this one just really stood out to me as being a bit odd (i purchased him from my local collectables shop) he is mint and my initial reaction was that he may be a fake,thats where i hope you guys can help?if the mystery is piss easy then fine and i admit i'm no jim stevenson,if not then i'l happily add photos? :?

Thank you

stefan

Thank you very much for your quick responses,i have been onto the website you suggested jezza,thank you,brilliant site that!

Any ideas which of those leias are rarer or are they all common place?

And i agree with you bollox about faking walrusman,hardly any point one would imagine?he just seemed a bit odd but again thanks to that website has answered my question.

Feel like a bit of a goon for not knowing a great deal about it,but am thankful that i asked as i now feel comfortable that i am in the company of guys in the know!

Great site that landos locker and top forum this is too

Thanks stef

the leia? is the different one stamped taiwan?


walrusman..

has it got NO stamp at all OR if you look close can you see a "1" remaining?

chances are its a PBP or TRILOGO one
