Raised Bar?

[jackabina]

Evening guys. this may be the stupidest question ever asked on here, but what is meant when a figure is advertised as 'raised bar'?

 

[itfciain]

ha ha - I've seen a lot stupider !

Raised bar is normally used to describe China COO figures as the China is stamped onto a 'raised bar'

It is nothing special but some sellers use it (me included) probably to sound as though they know what they are talking about :lol:

Stay on this site long enough and you'll soon get to know all these terms figure variation collectors use to describe figures.

Even if you don't want to know them!! :?

You truely know your stuff Iain, as do you all.

Unless I get booted off for poor humour, or being thick, I aint going knowhere Gary.

Was it only the chinese who printed on a 'raised bar'?

Not sure but you do get raised bar figurs with nothing stamped on the as well, so not just the china coo, but I presume they are still China figures, sure someone else who knows more will chime in.

& Just out of interest I collect the raised bar figures as I find them a little bit of an oddity, though I have no frecking idea why :?

Ps I ended up with one of the smaller display cases & my store ended up having to send 4 of the larger ones back that they could not sell, told you I was in the ass end of nowhere :lol:

Ehh those are pretty much the prerequisites for being allowed on here, along with swearing a lot! An interest in Star Wars is optional.

Forgot to add, you got to remember that all the raised bar coo's are FAKE!
