China COO / Hong Kong, No COO Sculpt Differences

Noticed a couple of other differences between the sculpts of the China COO figure compared to the Hong Kong and No COO figures.

First up, there is a distinctly different Sculpt on the rear pouches of the China COO figure. The two pouches are connected as opposed to a gap between them on the Hong Kong and No COO figures...

Next small difference between the COO is on the Boot wader buttons. The China COO figure has the buttons on both feet recessed into 'dimples'. The Hong Kong and No COO figures have much more defined buttons sticking out....

When referencing the China COO figure in the sculpt differences, I am including both the Moulded head and the painted face variants.

Both have the same sculpt characteristics/differences compared to the Hong Kong and No COO figures.

Boot Colour.

Took out my loose figures to have a look today. Small difference that was worth documenting. The Hong Kong COO figure has two different boot colours available. Dark and light Brown, shown here.

All the China COO figures i have feature Light brown boots similar to the Hong Kong COO light brown boots

UPDATE:

Here's a picture of the recent Polish bootleg figures I picked up. Green figure comes with Black paint boots. Purple figure has 'Turquoise' boots

No COO figure

Just a quick update in relation to the No COO figure. Discovered that there are two different face paint applications. One is noticeably darker than the other.

Sculpt difference:

Noticed another small sculpt difference between the China COO figure and the Hong Kong and No COO figures. The China COO figure, shown below in the middle, has 'smooth' rear pocket flaps at the back. The Hong Kong and No COO figures have a noticeable creases in the pocket flaps.

Unarticulated, Polish Bootleg figures:

Picked these two figures up from a Childhood collection in Poland. Totally unarticulated figures.
I really like the colour scheme on the purple figure...
Appear to be sculpted on the No COO mould.. (Discussed further below)
I will get comparison shots alongside a regular No COO figure asap.

Rear pocket sculpt:

Both figures have the gap between the two rear pockets..as found on regular No COO figure.

Back Pack Sculpt:

Both of the bootleg figures come with similar backpack sculpt to the No COO figure (Discussed further below)

Boot Colour:

Leg markings:

Green figure

Purple figure
No COO markings. More visible LFL markings.

Comparison to Standard No COO figure:

Here's a few pictures showing that the Bootleg figures were moulded with the No COO figure sculpt. Similar leg markings, Backpacks, rear pocket sculpts etc.
The only noticeable difference between the figures is the size. The bootleg figures are considerably smaller as shown here...

Rear pocket sculpt

Backpacks

Finally, the similar sculpt characteristics continue on the front of the figures. The creases in the shirt are the same as seen alongside the No COO figure...
