I have a LL figure lined up and was just wondering if any of you would know approx how much would a LL chief chirpa staff for the emperor cost me?
And am I likely to find one in time?

Thanks
Andy

Is this LL?
The one on the right?

O well I bought it off ebay and took a chance. Cost me £9.55 delivered. Lets hope at some point I can get a chief chirpa staff!

Ledy Figures are almost impossible to complete if you are looking for weapons themselves. I would say there is a chance you can find a weapon but it might require you to buy another LL figure in order to get it.

I know it will be hard to find the weapon. Im sure I will get bone its justa matter of time. TBH just having the figure ha made me happy for the moment and it gives me something to search for
O ye ANYONE GOT A CHIEF CHIRPA LL STAFF FOR SALE

Paul (Leahs Toys) has a Chirpa for sale? Could buy it and the two figures could share?

I'm not 100% sure but I think the legmarkings are too clear/defined. I'm also sure it's just the way you wrote it but the "CHIEF CHIRPA LL STAFF " is not what you need. ( I could do with one though )

Does the head of the Emperor have a small circle on the side? If so you are ok , LL Emperors have an injector/mold marking due to the way it was produced.

I had not noticed the side injection point before. But the non LL 'big eye" emporer with very similar leg markings also has this side of head injection point. (but also has little mold circles on his elbows)

COO's are not my specialty but as far as the injection pink mark / ejector mark / mold mark whatever you want to call it - I was told LL are on the side like yours and mine James, and Kenner are directly on top of the head.

The LL Emperor I have is an unpainted short shot from an overstock find so at least I know its Ledy - just don't have the rest of the body to check COO's

"I was told LL are on the side like yours and mine James" we need to work out what is unique to Ledy, the one I have pictured above is not Ledy. ( there are at least 2 different Kenner ones?) Can everyone else with LL emporers check them please

Oh lord, loose variations make my brain hurt

I would still be interested to find out the origin of yours with the injector mark on the side if its not considered to be Ledy! Do you know its origin or is that not certain yet?

I have another 2 loose I think but I am pretty sure they both have the mark on the top of the head and both to my knowledge are Kenner.

Gustie, Wolff, Rog ? Anyone? lol

I

My Ledy Emp has the injection mould scar on the right hand side of his head.

Also the COO is not sharp, it's almost as if the figure is coated in a thicker paint.

The detail on the front of his tunic including the part of his tie up belt that is hangiong down is less defined.

I have just checked 6 other Emps I have and they all have the injection mould on top of his head.

"Also the COO is not sharp" that's what I meant about the leg markings being too clear/defined. Stu are all your Emps with the top injection mold have the smaller font COO(& smaller eyes). Do you have one like mine pictured above with the mold circles on the elbows, bigger font COO & injection scar side of head?

AJ, I have about 6 with the top mould scar and the smaller font.

But I have just found one with the side scar and larger font.

Just getting some photos

Ledy on the left, Top scar and small font on the right.

Here are all 3. LL in the middle. I'm trying to find out if all figs like the one on the left also have the elbow mold circles & big eyes? EDIT Wolff has 4 different legmarkings shown.

There are no mould scars on the elbows on any of mine James.

However just noticed the larger COO Emps both have a different mould shape to the inner left arm to the smaller COO.
The folds in the cape are more defined and prominent on the smaller COO

More photos coming!!!

Ledy on the left...

So do all LL Emperor's have freckles ? or is yours just dirty Stu?

Wow its incredibly hard to identify a Ledy Emperor.
I suppose i will only know when I get to take some more pics and have a closer look.
I thought this figure came with a chief chirpa syle staff?

"I thought this figure came with a chief chirpa syle staff?" it does black with a 'L' http://www.imperialgunnery.com/thestaffsaxessection.htm

He needs a wash mate

Well my emperor came today and I cant decide if its ledy or not.

If I use some pics it look like it is but then on the one with the dimple on its elbow. Mine doesnt have that!
I will try and get some pics up but my camera skills will not help this issue.
