Craignwo4life's variant collection (In Memory of Craig)

[craignwo4life]

On the old site I had photos of my complete 12 back MOC collection and Han focus but sadly I sold all of those earlier in the year.

I don't display any figures so I cannot do one big group shot like others have done and Coco has most of the variants on his web site anyway so here are some of my favourites.

Fantastic collection mate, very impressive

Can't stop drooling over those Glasslite and Ledy figures.

Your Bib Fortuna, Squidhead and Vader collections are a sight to behold :shock:

Best of luck getting the rest of the Top Toys you are after as well :wink:

 

[mash]

WOW!! Puts mine to shame mate i really like the squidhead variants do you buy them on purpose or were they all accidents? and just happen to have different capes

The Han Solo camo lili ledy is unusual I have never seen one of them before was it expensive??

Mash

 

[mash]

also whats the difference between the normal and hard torso snowtrooper???

[edd_jedi]

that is my favourite one. :lol:

are any of those hard to track down, and is that the full run? i am keen to get a full set of loose variants and put them in a case together.

The no COO one at the end with the dark boots is the "hardest" to find out of that line up. I still need to add a Ledy Luke to the list and I am sure there are loads more variants out there. It's just a matter of looking at the photos of what is for sale and compare it to what I already have. I mainly try to get variations of hair or faces more than just COO's.

Ha ha, none of the Squid Heads were an accident. I am a sad individual who likes looking for variants. I have seen many more in other peoples collection so I decided to focus on that figure for a month and picked up about 5 different ones. There are a few fakes out there so be wary of any with major colour differences, mainly orange. :wink:

The Han trenchcoat is one of my favourites but I don't have a black Ledy blaster to complete the figure. I'm not sure how much it cost as it was in a big lot of LL figures but I would guess around Ã'£50 as I really wanted it. 8)

Thanks, the TT figures are going to be my focus for 2007 but knowing how difficult they can be to get a complete set it will probably be my focus in 2008, 2009....... :lol:

To be honest I don't know much about this variant. They both have the same COO marks on their left boot but as you can see in the picture the hard torso one appears to be made of much harder plastic and is alot more defined. :?

Amazing variant collection, i really like the Glasslite figures in particular the C3PO; i also like the hard torso variants

If you go to his house (mansion?) first you will have no room for any of my stuff. :lol:

Where is Gary anyway? :?

 

[craignwo4life]

I don't really go looking for certain figures so none were that hard to find. I have been very lucky at times that other collectors have offered me figures outside of ebay to avoid all the fees etc so that takes into account most of my Ledy and Glasslite figures.

I'm trying to get away from variants for the time being and want to complete my Top Toys (Argentina) set but that will be tough, especially Luke Jedi. I'm also after a complete set of AFA 90 loose Han figures, so far I have 3 but that is another target for the new year!! 8)

pardon my ignorance.
what are COOs and what does Lili ledy mean?
thanks!

 

[cocofstar]

pardon my ignorance.

COO Means Country of Origin - Where the Figure was made.

Lili Ledy - The Company who produced the figures in Mexico. Highly collectible :wink:

 

[TWOFOOT]

pardon my ignorance.
what are COOs and what does Lili ledy mean?

COO'S are country of origin (the names of the country the figures are made in which are usually stamped on the leg)

Lili ledy figures are starwars figures made in mexico at the lili ledy factory (they have slighty different molds to kennor and palitoy figures and are quite collectable)

 

[spoons]

An amazing collection Craig, your ledy jawa is my favourite 8) , if you fancy selling him to me when you kindly donate your moulded legs han, i wont complain :wink:

Thanks Jay, no I don't display any of my items.

I keep them all in plastic bags or cases which can be a pain when I want to find one. :twisted:
