UPDATED 27/1/16: Luke Farmboy COO Reference Guide

If you want to put on the screenshots of the two from Spain, that would be great.

Don't worry about the title...

3 Line, Hong Kong COO figure update:

New figure arrived today for the little ones collection. Being a Farmboy Figure needless to say, I had to document it. Delighted that this figure has distinctively different 3 line markings than previously documented figures!

In previous posts in relation to 3 Line, Hong Kong COO figures, pages 5&6, I highlighted that both the Brown eyes and Black eyes figures came with both the Date up and Date down markings.
This figure has the Date down markings, shown below.

 

[Dublinjeff]

The latest figure came with Brown eyes paint application,

 

[Dublinjeff]

New 3 Line, Hong Kong marking:

Here I will show the differences between the latest figure and the previous two Brown eyed, Date down , 3 line figures, a UKG graded figure and a loose one.

The new figure, shown here below on the left, has a noticeable difference on the 'Hong Kong' stamp. The writing is smaller than the previous two figures and is also a lot straighter...

Also, the letter 'i' in the GMFGI stamp is placed differently on the previous figures, circled above.

 

[Dublinjeff]

Here's the latest figure, below left, alongside the Black eyes, Date down figure I previously documented. There are noticeable differences here as well...the most obvious being the dot between the 'M' and 'F' in the GMFGI stamp on the Black eyes figure.

I would love to do that, but I don't think it would be correct to add those pictures as the guy who sold them is the owner of the pictures and
I do not know if he want them on the forum, the links is gone years ago.

Great update with the figures and new coo

 

[Dublinjeff]

No problem with the pictures, that's fair enough.

Yeah, Delighted with the 3 Line, Hong Kong COO update. It's definitely different on the Hong Kong stamp.....especially the lettering. The letter 'G' in both words is quite noticeably 'sharper'

I got this from a friend who found it in a danish childhood collection

 

[Dublinjeff]

Nice addition Lars.... 8) Always loved that Cardback

Hopefully will have a small update later

 

[Dublinjeff]

Picked up this 3 line Luke a while back.

Very noticeable markings on the leg.
2 visible 'dots' under the Hong Kong COO
Hadn't seen this on any of the other 3 line COO figures I documented before.

New figure far right below.

View attachment 1 Hi Jeff, found this one recently; 3 line Hong Kong COO, brown face paint, same leg markings as black face paint variant you documented... A sound assumption would be that colours & different sculpts were shared & crossovers occurred according to what the factory had to work with for any given production run. Judging by Kenner/Palitoy's inability to get characters colours & details right (and even some names ) It's a fair bet production briefs were a bit loose.

BTW just to share an observation; Of the 2 line Hong Kong variants 1 & 2, the actual full 2 lines of type on V2 are not higher towards the top of the leg; It is the paint on the leg that falls short of the tunic, creating the illusion of it being higher. Looks like the same spacing to me, with paint error. Open for debate! :wink:

Cheers-

Kevin

Been a while....
Thought I'd update this with a little comparison between the two Ghost Face Lukes on here. Andy (chazb73) show cased his on page 11 here.
Heres the one I've picked up locally

Same 3 line Hong Kong COO to Chazb73 figure. Very noticeable is the difference between the pants colours. Latest figure (much darker) on the left.

Also noticed that the paint application on the saber hand seemed to be similar,

Side by side shot of the two figures

Good comparison shot here.....alongside Raised Bar China LFB
