Darth vader variant, Rare?

[Dublinjeff]

Just wondering if anyone can help, I picked up a loose Darth Vader figure and just noticed that the left leg markings are C. GMFGI 1977, no coo it has a scar instead. The writing is quite big on the left leg, can't get pics up at the minute, sorry :roll: It's quite clean lines and has a slightly different chest plate to my other Vader, it also has big bug eyes..... will try and get photo up as I guess this would help. Just thought someone might know, thanks

Is it this one?

Or this?

 

[Dublinjeff]

No, sorry when i say the chest plate is different i mean the chest plate is like the original one but with slightly longer horizontal White an red lines

 

[tundra9]

Ah, damn, thought I could be the one with the answer for this one, and was hoping you hit the jackpot

 

[Dublinjeff]

Yeah sorry, its more like the second one, I didn't wait for pic to download....

There's a quite noticable difference between the kenner vader and the takara one, basically the eyes and the round helmet.

[Dublinjeff]

Thanks for that, Its exactly like the one in Photo 8, the PBP/Clipper one, Right dow to the part of the second G missing. Is that good?

 

[Dublinjeff]

Just to add, the one i picked up is a lot shinier than my original vader, which has the leg markings in photo 14 by the way.

On its own

Sorry about leg shot :roll:
