Most Taiwan Fett's have a very dark brown (almost) black belt. I've not seen a light brown belt Taiwan Fett. Most Hong Kong Fett's have a lighter brown belt ( they occasionally have a dark belt )
 
This figure is a damn mystery!!!!!!

So overstock? HK and Taiwan figures?

V5 blaster with and without small dot, or black POTF blaster (same as other droids figures)

This figure will definately be last in online my Droids guide. :(

So could it be a HK Fett on a Taiwan Droids card back or are there HK Droids Fett card backs as well?
 
I was thinking that, but the only card backs I've seen (3 in total) were all "made in taiwan". I getting digging around.

In the meantime does anyone on here a droids fett?

Is anyone on good speaking terms with the guys at AFA/UKG's?
 
Bingo, toy fair sample with HK card.

However, interestingly the Beggars Canyon repro cards have MADE IN..........CHINA !!!!!!
 
Well found Walkie!

So it looks like these Droids Fetts were released on at least 2 different card backs and who knows if there's a third being China. I'm guessing the most common is the Taiwan as there seems to be the most versions of this card back out there and I'm wondering if all the Droids Fetts came with the V5 blaster, maybe, maybe not. I'd still say that the V5 blaster is the least common of the general Fett blasters out there and who knows if there are both black and grey/black versions or maybe it's just a slightly different batch of plastic that was used in different factories (or maybe even the same factory). It's still a slight mystery as to what happened in the end to the final run of Boba Fett on the vintage Kenner cards but that V5 blaster does seem to turn up mainly on the Droids card back so I'd put that Blaster with a Taiwan Fett if I ever came across an opened bubble version of the Droids card back (very doubtful I ever will though).

All interesting to read about and a big thanks to everyone who helped out on this thread, maybe there's still some more info to come?
 
No just the Droids HK version. Isn't it the Black POTF blaster shown in the photo archive on RS against the Droids Fett? also don't all the other droids figures come with the black POTF blaster?

I'll double check now, let me know if I'm wrong?
 
Just checked TIG guide...

V5 confirmed with Droids Fett (IMO Taiwan)

V1-c Solid Black POTF - confirmed with Luke stormtrooper, droids kez iban, thall joben.

Also the gun shown on the RS droids guide is the same solid black, makes sense all the figures at some stage had the v1-c POTF black blaster??

This is all just a theory of my, if I'm wrong oh well :(
