Lobot baggie - Violet Made in Macao text?!

[punk_pat]

Afternoon all

I have this lobot baggie with Made in Macao text on it, in a violet / pink shade. Not seen this before and can't find reference on the SWCA:

Anyone got any info on it? It's tape sealed but can't tell if it has been resealed as there is stickiness on outside of bag and Lobot is missing weapon. Could be factory sealed but not sure.

Any help appreciated!

Cheers

Ed

Never seen text that colour on any Star Wars baggies, perhaps the text on the bag has suffered from sun fading/discolouration? Might just be that someone put Lobot into a bag from another toy line. I found a smiliar Made in Macao bag used for M.A.S.K figures:

Try having a search for bagged figures from other Kenner lines, strawberry shortcake, aliens etc etc

tape seal looks well dicey TBH & unless this is an extreme case of discoloration & also an until now never before seen baggie variation I would go with Joe's assessment, sorry it's not better news

Thanks for the input chaps

Almost certain the text isn't discoloured. Think most likely your theory of another line Joe as would be impossible to say the seal is true.

Bizarre though as that colour text rings a very small bell... will have a google this week.

Wonder why somebody chose to seal a Lobot in there!

Cheers

Really? If you were going to fake this, surely you'd pick a more popular figure.

Are there any other Kenner baggies that say Made in Macao?

Cheers,

Only this types Pat, though there are several Euro baggies with Macau & even one/maybe 2 with Macou
