^Palitoy variation not known to exist, assumed to be german which does exist

Thanks
Is it possible to pin the list as a non-comment thread that only you can update Jason? Just thought a definitive known list of TTs would be a great instant reference tool.

Like so:

Thank you very much.
Best impossible !!!. This is entirely clear !!.

Can someone confirm that Toy Toni figures featured fake blisters from the very beginning?

I've read only in the last two days that he was buying fake blisters presumably right off the bat, despite there being no fake blisters for sale in the later 1990s.

Nope, don't think so.

Not as far as I'm aware.

Original unused blisters that came with the unused cards as far as we know (nobody knows anything for 100% sure as he's never admitted it)

 

[KennerSWhistory]

It's really odd how information evolves in the age of Facebook. But there are genuinely people (some of whom should know better too), pushing the notion than Tonis were always fake blisters.

One guy even challenged me by pm on that point - asked me to prove it.

I agree that we'll never know for certain what went on, but we do know that he bought uncirculated figures, cardbacks and blisters.

The most obvious point to make against this new belief, is that I doubt he'd have been fooling anyone for long with fake blisters in the mid(ish) 1990s. Just can't seem them getting his scam much further down the road than 6 months or so.

There were already a handful of us paying attention to the blisters customizers were using, and those things looked terrible.

All original parts assembled after the factory closed. Anyone who says otherwise is playing Chinese whispers, ask them to find an example of a TT with a repro blister.

That's exactly what I said to the one guy (Thorsten from 9 holy grails in a row) when he tried to push that argument.

It's like they don't understand that the one thing this guy had going for him, was that all he needed to do was apply heat to seal those figures onto cards.

 

[UKS]

I heard conversation about some of them perhaps being Action Force blisters - (assembled in the same factory) - but from my cursory SW and AF knowledge that isn't true. Or if it is they were identical.
