Help needed in finding a Ginger haired Luke. Come on Gustie you no you want to sell :wink:

Grant.

 

[Grant]

Come on lads I mean Gustie. I still need a loose example of the ginger Luke.

Don't be greedy you have a carded one now But if you find one that doesn't meet your standards I'll happily give it a new home :wink:

James I have an orange haired Luke with some playwear, it has some severe rubbing on the hair , so much so that he looks bald but I can assure you it was definitely Orange at one point! :lol:

 

[aussiejames]

Thanks Joe, I could get our mate Han to paint it for me and then I can cross another figure of my want list :lol:

 

[Joe]

LOL :lol:

Out of interest and back on topic how many do you reckon there are? I was thinking, if its from one factory on one card back as proved in the recent RS thread - How many do you think made it out that colour?

God knows how many figures they could produce daily/weekly but it has to be more than the 35-40 estimate unless they rectified the paint ?

 

[aussiejames]

How many loose are AFA graded?

How many loose are AFA graded?

Interesting question James i also wonder if any have been graded as standard farmboys or labeled as brown haired. :?:

 

[Joe]

Officially its 3 loose and Grant's carded ESB.

As Jay said there could be a few more floating around that aren't labelled as Orange hair but even for AFA it's a pretty obvious thing to miss considering they even count Green limbed Chewie as a vari..

 

[Grant]

I think there is a loose example on Ebay at the moment. Its ungraded but looks orange to me, but in saying that I did buy a brown one a few weeks ago that I thought was orange from Craig Ginter that still hasnt turned up yet. Its been a month now...

Grant.

 

[Joe]

Well Craig is a bit of a funny one, I dealt with him and he was polite, funny and extremely truthful AND speedy with the transaction.

He has a few demons which in all fairness he should battle BEFORE he sells, I know Jay and a few others aren't Craig fans and I can't stick up for the things he does wrong just because I got my item so I won't.

Hope he comes through for you Grant.

 

[Grant]

Joe,

I hope he comes through as well but its just a loose figure I suppose but its the principal of advertising something for sale and taking your cash and then not following through which will piss me off if he falls short at the sending it over to me.

Thank you.

Grant.

I am struggling to find the correct COO for the orange haired Luke. Is it 2 lines: GMFGL1977, HONG KONG small font and the lines very close together??

Number 2?

James im unsure. I can only make out that its made in Hong Kong.

Grant.

 

[aussiejames]

Go on, you know you want to open it and check :lol: :lol:

 

[Idefix13]

You can find it (at least) with two slightly different 'two lines HK' coos:

One has a bit more space between date and HK and the other less. It also seems that one coo is starting a bit higher than the other. But all these differences are very very small.

The main difference of the two figures are the different painted hands (different in colour).

Uli

 

[Tank1252]

Great stuff Uli!

Now, who's gonna sell me a loose one? Either version i'm not fussy!!

 

[aussiejames]

I need a new camera (or operator ) I think I'm wishing the bottom one is ginger Luke?

 

[Grant]

Looks ginger to me lad.

Grant.

 

[aussiejames]

It has the same leg markings as Uli's right hand side figure. I really need to sort my loose figures out( and this camera is ******* giving me the ***** :x ), I can't believe I may have one? Yeah

 

[Tank1252]

Yeah sorta looks ginger mate. Hope it is!

 

[Idefix13]

Ginger hm... do you boys think my right figure is ginger aswell? You can spot a very very slight difference in the hair colour to the figure on the left. But it is really very slight.

Or is ginger the same as orange?

James - buy a new camera. Now!!

Or learn to use the 'autofocus' with 'macro mode' :wink: :lol:

Uli

 

[Tank1252]

Uli's right, your camera's giving me a headache James!

 

[aussiejames]

The camera is back in action(thanks Jay) but damn it I think Luke is mustard not orange(ginger). What do you guys think?

 

[plantman]

That looks brown to me, isnt the ginger one quite significant, i have one, take a look

 

[Grant]

I would say it brown as well after looking at it again but Andys is defo the ginger one.
