what is this one then? the helmet looks a different colour

 

[snagbar]

looking at date stamp and comparing to link it looks like a ledy.
BUT somebody will shoot it down in flames.
i think it was coco that posted the link it is a german site!!!!!!
i put it on favorites when it came up.
ask him if he remembers.
site really is a mine of info.

yep
allso thick and thin black eye slit on helmit.
what do people think about this being a true variation???????

I have about 70 RGs and I've never noticed a thin eye slit. Must check though

also about the Ledy figs - the black paint is more likely to be missing

i have saved all the JPEGS from that site.... the coo is fuzzy on the RG....

 

[snagbar]

any help

 

[gustie]

i cant seem to see much difference on the stamp tbh

 

[craignwo4life]

I think the only differences on the Ledy RG are the shades of colour on the helmet (no jokes :wink: ), cape and spear.

 

[snagbar]

guy's if you cant see this one your missing out on a lot of date stamp variations!!!!!
on the left one
the M from made is lower down closer to crease in leg,which makes it lower down next to n in hong .
on the lili one
the M is slightly higher making bigger gap next to crease in leg ,which makes it dead opposite the n in hong.
take your time looking you will kick yourselves when you see it.
anybody else not see it ?????????????????????

 

[gustie]

well i re looked


hows this for my version

E in made is slightly left of the K of kong on normal RS
E in made is DIRECTLYabove the K of kong on ledy...

this means that my COO is the same as the LEDY

but im not sure on the helmet plastic colours

maybe there are more than one COO stamps on various molds?

this is the case with hollow cheek tusken raiders for example - was chatting to mike and between us we have found Ã'£ different stamps

 

[snagbar]

yes yes yes use your way for the m i was talking about and were there.
BUT looking again at your version of rg you posted i would say it was a hong kong .
all very subjective though

 

[gustie]

yeah i reckon its HK but earlier you said it looked like a ledy lol :mrgreen:

 

[snagbar]

yes true enough i was trying to compare to quickly.
giving it time to look properly between photo's then it is hk.

Ok I had a good look at a few figures last night and snagbar is right about the coo being in a slightly different place - and I mean slightly. I found it easier on the eye to see the difference looking at the G on the end.
RG focus and never knew that. :roll:

Ledy cloaks are also darker and slightly thiner material than the other countries. As for the helmet being different colour - yes and no. I have 2 LL Rg's and the helmet colours are different.

The thin eye slit on RGs - I'll go with this being a paint problem and not a variation. I have a few that seem thinner but one of them you can see a gap at the bottom so its not a mold variation.

Non-LL RG's
Helmet colour variation. Cloak material variation
Glossy and dull body variation also a slightly different colour but not sure if thats the eyes playing tricks because of the gloss/dullness.

I'd take pics but its very hard to photograph the difference in colours since everything is red. I'm not into all the weird setting on the camera that could probably do it - exposure and all that stuff

As far as I can remember there was a slight difference between the HK and Taiwan figures I used to own unless that was just a paint problem and not a regular thing!! :lol:

 

[snagbar]

thanks phantom glad to help on your focus.
have you got any spare with the date stamp on boot??????????

 

[Ron]

whats the hardest variants to find

 

[gustie]

i guess some of the ledys, uzay , toptoys, toltoys, harbert, clipper, PBP, glasslite, popy, takara, tsukuda, meccano etc

dark brown rebel soldiers , molded leg han hoths, orange cape squid heads, macao biker scouts, hollow cheek tusken raiders, white leg han solos,

im finding this noo coo macao thing tricky and theres no coo china's with no bars - but im still learning these lol dont know how many of each were done or anything yet...


there is more i guess i aint quite as knowledgeable as some others here - but its a good start to get me on my way...

CHEERS GUYS!!!
