[snippet SNIPPET-NAME="NOTE"]COO (Family#3)(3-A2) are shared by Lili Ledy and Kenner.
The Lili Ledy RL C-3PO appears with different COOs.
- COO (Family#?)(xxx) (Hong Kong, see the pics above)
- COO (Family#3(3-A2) (no COO, carved, curved date stamp)[/snippet]

[snippet SNIPPET-NAME="DIFFERENCES"]The Lili Ledy RL C-3PO is a very tough figure to distinguish from its Kenner counterpart. First of all there is no obvious difference in the used gold paint. Moreover the gold paint causes reflections which makes it very hard to uncover potential differences in the used moulds. After spending half hour with a magnifier glass (even counting the number of stripes in C-3PO’s eyes) I gave up and concluded that any differences in the mould are too subtle to use as distinctive markers.
Luckily still some differences can be observed, but you have to look at spots which you can not see from the outside.

Compared to its Kenner counterpart, the Lili Ledy RL C-3PO has:
- Joints with exposed creamy white/grey instead of tanned tips (due to different pigments in the plastics used to cast the figure). Note: All my Kenner figures have joints with tanned tips, and only the Lili Ledy figure has creamy white tips. However we have to keep in mind this difference might not be consistent as different batches of coloured plastic could have been used during production of the limbs in the factories.
- A longer left leg, causing a leaning "Pisa Tower" stance of the figure. Probably this is an artifact which was caused after the limb was released from the steel mould and cooled down too fast. So it might be unique for this specific Lili Ledy figure. However many Lili Ledy RL C-3PO figures suffer from a left leg which doesn't fit as well as the right leg. So it might be a general phenomenon for Lili Ledy figures.[/snippet]

[snippet SNIPPET-NAME="Accessories"]The Lili Ledy RL C-3PO came with a bag having a different mould (V3) compared to the Kenner bags (V1, V2). The Lili Ledy bag differs in:
- The type of plastic used (soft and glossy black)
- Size of the three squares in the grid pattern (smaller squares compared to Kenner bags)
- Position of the central square in the middle row compared to its neighboring rectangles (positioned asymmetrically): this is the easiest to distinguish trait
- Different folding[/snippet]
