[QUOTE="plantainman, post: 244803, member: 4401"] First up, the Han bespin COO guide... The obvious difference between Kenner & Lili Ledy Han Bespin figures is the hair being painted over the ears. You can also see sharper face details on the Kenner figures. There are other differences too (trousers, weapons); see further down. Of note is that there is also suspected to be two Poch variants of this figure, which come in COO's #1 & #6. I won't expand on those figures here, as I will leave that to probably one of four people I can think of that know a lot more about those variants. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Han_COO_guide_watermarked_SM.jpg"]131781[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="group 9 SM.jpg"]173398[/ATTACH] Face colour, Hair colour and details can widely vary with the kenner figures. There's a reddish brown hair colour all the way through to a jet black hair colour (I'll endeavour to photograph that at some point). Some can be found with the greenish faded limbs, this is plastic degeneration. You will notice the ledy figures have a different colour tone for the trousers. The Ledy NO COO has a very dark chocolatey brown tone, whilst the two Ledy HK variants, have a lighter chocolatey tone than the Ledy NO COO, but definitely darker than the Kenner figures. The Ledy figures also have a unique wide handled Bespin blaster. Group shot of 3 Ledy variants... [ATTACH type="full" alt="SAM_2533.JPG"]173397[/ATTACH] Of note is that the HK Ledy's can also be found with a painted back buckle (not seen here). This obviously would NOT have been a factory error, as the back belt buckle would require its own paint spray mask, as it is a different shape to the front buckle. It is believed these painted back buckle figures were the earlier examples of the HK Ledy's. Group shot of favourite 8 variants...
