Is this a PBP Lando?

[Jedi_june]

I won this Lando on eBay last month won it for $20 usd shipped (was starting to get a little worried as it took a month to come to me.) anyways just wanted to get this figure confirmed cause it has a ruff looking Coo Scar. All help is appreciated.

Thanks
June

Hi mate

Although you can find this figure in spain it is not a spanish pbp exclusve.
You can find him all over europe. There are plenty of slightly different
scarred out areas on this figure. What i would call the correct pbp one -
(although he can be found in france also thus far like other pbp variants)
has BLUE legs, not the greyish blue like your one. There are also some other
subtle paint differences. When you have the two in hand together then the
differences are obvious. I will try and post up comparison pics later if i get a chance.

Cheers, Lee

Lee has said it all above, June.

EURO, not PBP exclusive.

Peace

easily found through out Europe and referred to by many as a PBP figure. There are several version's of the scarred coo as well.

the true Spanish "Poch" release lando features a black unpainted neck, an old ebay listing can be found here...

Thanks guys, I'm kind of gutted its not PBP it was listed as PBP! Did I over pay for this Euro Lando??

 

[Lee]

Some Lando talking.....

Here are some spanish poch black neck Landos. With and without smile on the left and middle.
The Lando on the right is a bit of a mystery as he has the same/normal poch head like the middle
one, he has spanish characteristics to him like cracks in his torso and melt marks like you find
on spanish figures. He has a black neck but, the blue trim isn't as visible as it is on the others
plus, he has dark brown hands......

Here's my collection of Euro coo's (all have different scarred areas (yes, anal - i know).....
You will see june, that they are all like yours except one....top row middle has distinct blue legs
compared to all the others grey/blue legs. There are some subtle paint app differences also.
This figure i am more comfortable calling a pbp variant as he can be found in spain but also in france
(like a lot of other pbp/pbp mould figures) but, i have never seen this figure in the uk where a lot
of trilogo/pbp variant figures often crop up.

Hope this info helps 8)

Aren't there some mis-painted kenner black necks in circulation? maybe the one which looks like he **** himself is a kenner one?

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Yes - he could use some Andrex :lol:

What do you mean by mispainted black necks? Fake or....??

This guy is just unusual - not seen another - a mixed up parts figure like other spanish figures probably..

Hay June this is PBP made IMO, it gets the "Euro" term as its not a PBP exclusive, but really how many PBP are? All these PBP exclusives are found on Palitoy cards. Han Hoth with white face, at at camnander with white face, dark brown RS with Pink face, rebel commander with dark boots, Luke bespin with blond hair and dark brown boots, Walrus man with dark brown head and white tusks, no coo and 1 remaining. All PBP variants and don't get the Euro tag though.
