I don't think yours is the light green. I would call it PBP/Tri :

this version can appear with no coo scar or just with the remaining '1' coo. Its unclear which of these coos are the true pbp version...maybe both.

Thanks James, sorry to be thick again but what does PBP/Tri mean exactly? Made by PBP in spain and released on tri logo card?

Sorry my mistike, it does look like that lighter pic but darker hands. Looks more like this one on the left but pinker tusk, also had another look and there is slight scaring visible, very slightly rougher area than the rest of the boot where the coo should be.

Well I reckon it is the Meccano/Tri variant then. If it has the Pink tusks, it has to be.

Dark green, with pink tusks, with remnants of COO or No coo at all = Meccano/Tri

Thanks Josh, does that mean made by Meccano released on a Tri card?

You said in another post that PBP/Mec figure comes with coo #3&4 but mine is #5

I was just about to ask " I thought yours was a 5 with the '1' remaining ? " hence why I think it's a PBP/Tri BUT it has more pink tusks than my '1' only. I did warn you this was going to get confusing :lol: My final answer is it's european

Here we go..hopefully this has solved it :lol:

Bill did once write that the white tusked Tri/PBP figure shouldn't be confused with the earlier pink mouth version – I assumed he meant the Pal variant but maybe not? Just speculating but maybe your Tri/PBP variation with a pink mouth is a figure made sometime between the PBP/Mec & PBP/Tri variants when they were still painting mouths pink. Or a factory error – a different head put on the Tri/PBP body.

He also says.

If you like coo's my Pal variant has coo #5

IIRC the Pal variant is found on late ESB Palitoy & some ROTJ cards & the Tri/PBP figure on late ROTJ Palitoy & Kenner Made In Spain & PBP cards. (I think all the above variations can found in baggies & possibly a few more cards than mentioned above.)


Which would tie in with the pink tusk thing
Like I said this is all new to m also. Just having a bit of fun working it out with yah..

let's go with a Pali variant instead

Is that every posibility covered now :lol:

YUP

Does James concur? Pali variant?

NO COO Walrus Men, L to R = Pal, PBP/Mec, PBP/Tri variants.

If he looks like the one on the left...then it is a Pali variant

He looks like the middle one with the head of the one on the right :?

Bingo, Palitoy it is. Unless someone else wants to add anything? I'm surprised Weasel hasn't joined in with some variation talk ps. who is Billywinkle? (billyboy) I noticed a bagged Yak face in the webshots. EDIT bloody hell snags- now you've confused things :lol:
