Hi guys, I have been looking at some of my emperor canes and saw there was different colors :?

the one to the left is black I have many of them but the 2 others are different. They are more grey black.

Have any of you seen them before ?

They are not in the tig guide.

Is there no one who knows anything about this canes ?

Could the dark be kenner and the grey black be tri-logo ?

Lars, you've piqued my curiosity.

I have two loose Emperors, both from my own childhood. One was definitely the mail-away as I have a shoebox of backers with name plates cut out from back in the day, loved getting my freebies in the post! The other is from a Tri-logo, which I still have the backing card from. Not sure how I ended up getting that Tri-logo, maybe as a gift from a bargain bin where some kind relative was unaware I already had one.

Anyway, I've just dug them out of my cabinet and checked the canes. Was surprised to see that they do indeed seem to be slightly different colours, one kind of 'brown' black and the other a 'grey' black.

Both figures seem to be COO #1 and any difference between the figures is negligible / non-existent.

Sorry I can't confirm which cane came with which figure, but I think you may be onto something with the different cane colours, although it's quite subtle! :)

I have a baggie and 1 or 2 moc, but it is hard to see the color on moc.

Maybe I should check my baggie :lol:

A lot of the figures I see have the black cane so those seem to be more common than the grey/black

I think you are right about that, first I thought the grey/black could have been repro. But if others have them in childhood collections then they could not be repro. I only have a few of those grey/black and a lot black ones.

I have a Tri-logo and there is a little hole in the bottom of the bubble. So I could get the cane out and it is Black/grey. But I can't confirm it 100% maybe the last owner have removed the cane and put this one back. But then again who would remove one original cane and put another cane in there.

So could this one be a Tri-logo cane ? does any of you guys have tri-logo moc that can confirm this ?

That's very interesting Lars. Can't wait to see what happens, hopefully someone has a nice moc example to see the cane. I'm suprised that TIG only has the black cane????? Did you ever think it's Lili Ledy?? :shock: but prob doubt it right since you say u have a lot and Ledy Accesories are a bit rare.

Hopefully the mystery gets solved :mrgreen:

No I don't think lili ledy made the emperor cane. The Lili Ledy emperor was sold with a black Chief Chirpa staff :D

I tried to compare it with a kenner moc and my baggie. But because of the small difference then it is very hard to see any difference because of the bubble and the bag.

Interesting point & another thing uncovered, give yourself a pat on the back Lars.

Worthy of noting that the emperor is know in several baggie types 5 that I know of for sure, so the black/grey one may be in some?

Do you have some emperor baggies where you check it ?

I do not know what baggie variant I have :?

Thanks frank for the kind words :wink:

I just had a look at my 2 baggies, the one on the left is out of a Kenner mailer and has COO 4 the other is a Palitoy with COO 1. I've also had another Kenner mailer with green text(or faded blue) that had the same figure as my Palitoy, don't know what cane though.

Its very hard to see the slight colour difference through the baggies but I'd say mine are left glossy black one, the right if there is any difference then its the black middle one like In your first pic Lars

That's interesting, the Grey/Black canes could've been packed with Tri Logo's & Palitoy Baggies only. Can't wait to see what you come up with Lars.

Even the the colors on the cloak, face & hands are different.

This seems to be incomplete on coos but shows difference in colors.
