[QUOTE="Craig T, post: 514135, member: 9290"] ... Full Matrix of Luke Jedi Snap Capes (longer answer): The very first Kenner Luke Jedi MOCs were not only offerless, but they also came with a cooler cape packaged inside that had a metal snap button fastener at the collar. Three separate vendors in the Far East were contracted to make Luke Jedi MOCs for Kenner; thus are there are three different types of snap cape to collect (if collecting capes rocks your boat). Take in account other nuances, such as how it was packed inside and whether the Luke had a moulded face or painted face and that number raises to 7 MOCs. The very "first edition" MOCs from each vendor packaged the snap cape in the same way - folded-up neatly in a cellophane baggie and tucked behind Luke. The "second edition" MOCs also contained a snap cape inside, but it is packaged unfolded and loose behind Luke. These ones are harder to spot as the snap is not always visible. One of the vendors, "U.M." of Taiwan, originally produced Luke with a head Moulded in Flesh coloured plastic (aka moulded face), this was later changed to a head moulded in hair coloured plastic with the face skin painted. So this gives rise to three possible MOCs from Taiwan that have a snap cape inside. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Snap Front.JPG"]57691._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Snap Back.JPG"]57692._xfImport[/ATTACH] In the Group Photo you have: 1st Row: Vendor = "U.M." of Taiwan: * Moulded Face/Snap Cape in Baggie/Green Sabre * Moulded Face/Snap Cape Loose/Green Sabre * Painted Face/Snap Cape Loose/Green Sabre 2nd Row: Vendor = "Smile" of Hong Kong * Painted Face/Snap Cape in Baggie/Blue Sabre * Painted Face/Snap Cape Loose/Blue Sabre * As Above - but with Tsukuda Import Sticker 3rd Row: Vendor = "Unitoys" of Hong Kong * Painted Face/Snap Cape in Baggie/Green Sabre * Painted Face/Snap Cape Loose/Green Sabre [/QUOTE]
