Cardbacks with Correct Figure and accessory

[Pomse2001]

Palitoy 65a Made in Hong Kong. All 100% from my childhood so can all matching. I really went to work with the Bic on this one!

Thanks for sharing this one, what an art work you have done as a kid on that cardback :lol:

God knows what I was thinking, I spent more time writing on the cards than I did playing with the figures!

Hi Lars, can you post two additional pics for me. A pic showing the stitching of the cloak on the inside up by the hood. Also a pic of the blaster from the angle in the top pics below. I'm pretty certain everything is above board for a Smile factory Luke Jedi but this will help to double check.

ok here are some new pictures can you use them ?

to me it looks like blaster V 1 A ?

About the Coat, it looks like they used 2 colors first brown around the hood and then green stitching to close the hood :?

I agree - the weapon looks like a V1 off of TIG which is the Smile blaster mould which matches your figure and card. The capes are harder to identify but green stitching is associated with the Smile factory too.

Hi mate, do have any info about my luke x-wing pilot and my tie fighter pilot ?

Trilogo Stormtrooper that came with the POTF Ewok complete play pack. Figure and card are original match, not sure about the blaster.

Here is a Tie fighter pilot on a kenner 65 back free emperor cardback from a danish childhood collection

Hi Lars. The card is Smile and both the figure and blaster are Smile too. There are not many visible differences between the Smile and Uni Toys TFP moulds but one way of spotting is the coo. The MADE IN HONG KONG disappears in his butt cheek on the Smile version but starts lower down on UT. The Smile blaster is the v2 on TIG without epm.

Here is a luke x-wing pilot palitoy 45 back special offer bounty hunter from a danish childhood lot. There was 2 rebel blasters in the lot, so I am not sure about which one is the correct one for luke x-wing ? :? it also confuse me figure is made in china but cardback is made in hong kong :?

While I can't say for definite and it's always harder for me with Palitoy I'd be surprised if this card back and figure went together. Current thinking is that Kader moved production to China during the ROTJ era and the earliest you see China figures and cards are on 65 backs I believe. Additionally generally the blank raised bar is found on Palitoy cards though of course it may well be possible for the China to be found also. What I can say is that the blaster associated with this figure is the bottom one which is a v3 off of TIG. The top is a v1 found on Smile card backs.

Leia (Hoth Outfit), Canadian 41-a Kenner.

This came from a US seller who sold it as MOC and the figure burst through the top of the bubble during shipping. The original purchaser sent it back and I bought it knowingly in this condition. Due to this I can't be 100% sure the blaster or figure are original, but the figure certainly seems to tally with other MOC examples. I've been able to take the blaster out (TIG v1?) but it'll be tricky to get the figure out without further damage to the bubble... so in she stays.

I can't say for definite what factory card back that is. I'm leaning towards Smile. I don't know my Leia Hoth sculpts that well to tell you what factory made it either, sorry. The blaster is Smile. Maybe someone else can chip in or I'll come back to it when I've got round to researching her.

Kenner 77a IG-88, again figure and card back I've owned from new so 100% match, but not sure about the rifle and blaster. This one still has my local toy shop price sticker. HG is printed next to the POP.

Hard to say for sure because of the angle of photography but looks like a Kader card, Kader figure for sure and Kader blaster. Can't tell rifle.

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Another Kenner 77a, all parts 100% matching as they have been with me from new. HN bottom right next to POP. Love this figure.

Nice Smile 'Pac-Man' Yoda

Thanks that is fantastic news, thanks again for all the great info

That is very interesting, I will upload the other figure and the cardback for the rebel blaster maybe that can help more

Here are the other cardback that was sold with a rebel blaster Tri-logo Han Solo in trench coat

Ben Kenobi Trilogo 70b I think!? All parts on this one are from my childhood so can assure you that these are a match.

Here are some Palitoy 12 backs that I had from a childhood collection I bought years ago. Some of these figures are now in other peoples collections (you know who you are if you're on here!), and I documented their card backs and COO's so that I had a record of what was sent to us in the UK back in 1978.

I have a few others still to picture but this works as a pretty good record for now.

Thanks guys, I thought these might be helpful and it was something i was going to post up at some point and this looked like the right thread to put them in so well done for getting this going Lars

Great set Ian. Will prove useful in trying to categorise the first 12 which are really hard.

Can I double check with you that in the childhood lot there was only 1 example of Luke, Ben and Vader and that there were no other iterations of Leia (Bespin or Hoth) so that we can conclude that these weapons came with that figure and cardback?

Only the blaster that came with Han Solo is most probably incorrect as it didn't appear until ESB. But this is easily explained as there are so many figures that carry the rebel blaster across the line so he was bound to have a few rebel blasters in his childhood collection.
