Congrats Bill. On the poch Dengar & mecano Biker Scout.

Nice cardback Steve. Does it have a made in Macao sticker on the back as well?

He is mate, dark brown Rebel soldier, flesh coloured face Just a shame about the paint worn off the goggles
Still I'm very pleased to add him to the collection
I'd much rather have him like this than a touched up one

That's awesome. Well done.

Cheers Chris, not a bad pic for me mate

Seriously James has kindly gave me a list of basic pointers to work with when taking pictures so I'm experimenting

Thanks guys for your kind words on the Glasslite Droids rig!

Christian: Funny that Luke Bespin did not pass the PBP snif test. Now I know why. Sometimes it is better to stay ignorant.

Steve: killer Emperor Mec Trilogo cardback.
How far from a complete run?

Andy: Sweet PBP Rebel Soldier. Congrats.
One of the best PBP variants out there.

Cheers

Hey Chris, some stellar additions. From trusted sources as well. Congrats!

Love the Ledy Cloud Car Pilot. As well as the Poch Yoda with unique pistacho painted hands.
The blue eyes and brilliant white of the Poch Chewie seem to be unique when comparing to Kenner figures. Do you agree?

Leia Organa: which COO?

Sorry for bothering you with all those questions.There is simply too much Lili Ledy and Poch going on in your post.

Hey marco, thanks buddy

Yes I would agree that the light blue eyes and bright white paint are unique to Poch, when compared to their Kenner coo counterparts.
The more orange torso, that I mentioned in my post, is not really a Poch trait and is most likely a form of discolouration.
As you know, the figure parts were most likely imported from Asia, then assembled and painted in Spain. Making the unique paint colour, the best way to identify Poch figures.
The orange torso, (and green limb) discolouration can be found on the kenner figures too. As both they, and the Poch figures, were produced from the same moulds, in the same Asian factory, using the exact same plastics.
The Kenner MIHK coo Chewie torso, also used by Poch (black pouch) can be quite orange in colour too. Perhaps both coos originated from the same factory in Asia?

The no coo Leia Organa is a coo family 4- A2 on the TXI guide

Some very nice variants there Chris great addition to your collection mate
Does the POCH Stormie have the same COO as his PBP brother, just not the same hard plastic used
I only have a POCH Lando its all learning for me

Thanks Andy

My Poch Stormie has a family 1-B1 coo  on the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], which can also be found on kenner figures too.
What makes him differ from his Kenner counterpart is the darker black paint. The very sloppy application of the paint.
The poor sonic welding and extrusion between his legs (some call penis) and the bloody great melt mark on his rear  

As well as a harder, more defined sculpt, the PBP stormie has a no coo scar (family 3-A2/B2) which is only shared with Lili Ledy.
Despite sharing the same coo,  the plastics used for PBP and Ledy are different. As well as the differing paint apps.
