Chewbacca variant?

[Dublinjeff]

Recently picked up a loose Chewie figure. The only visable leg marking on it is, 1977 on the left leg. There is a scar above this but there is no LFL, GMFGI markings? The limbs are a different colour than the torso, not showing up quite how much so in the photo, they are almost a brown/green. Is that a common enough figure? Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks

From what I can see it's #13 ?

the 'missing' GMFGI can be a result of a dirty/worn mould.

Here are some #13s 'euros/tri logos' on the left (note the slightly different limb colours)

Hi Jeff, dirty/worn mould or not. I have never seen this stamp before with only 1977 on a chewbacca. I would call it a new coo variant no. 14 It must be very rare. Congratulations with that one you lucky guy. Another variant for me to hunt, thanks :lol:

Yeah that might be it so, but it definitely looks scarred out as opposed to an error. Thanks for the advice...

I think its No 2 or 3 in that guide and as James says, either a worn mold or short shot, you can make out the shape of gmfgi 1977 HK and thats the figure that mostly shows up with the green limbs

 

[aussiejames]

Agreed that #2 & #3 often have discoloured limbs. I assumed it was #13 'cos it looks like the 77 ends well before the knee & that's the only small font COO version.

I thought that as well but it must just be the G.I.1 that we can see.
