Picked up this baggie, very cool and with the wrong blaster. Just wondered if any one can tell me what type it is and where it came from?

That should be an ESB-h baggie, most likely Hong Kong.

Thanks for the help TK, I did see that but still wasn't sure as there's quite a bit of overlap on mine.

Any one got any idea how you would have got a ESB-H baggie back in the day?

I can't help you out where they came from, as I'm still learning about them myself. When I first started collecting I thought they were home made. Just looking through them on ebay over time I have noticed that the length of the seal does vary a bit, maybe due to 0 care factor or poor quality control.

Not 100% on this, but you couldve probally got them from the mail oreder multi packs from Sears, JC Pennys, etc. Thats the only thing I could think of where they would come from.

There's a Guide to Mail-Order Figure Packs on the SWCA to check which multipacks contained Han Hoth. Unfortunately a lot are missing pictures so you'd have to go searching RS, webshots, etc. for the corresponding photo's (I think some of the multi-packs are pretty rare though!). Maybe one of the US baggie experts over on RS could help you with your baggie!!

There is a few pictured in the bottom of this thread of James but all the rest are HK. Do you think its a safe bet that he could have come with any of these that featured Han Hoth, but after the ESB era?

Thanks for the link Rog, thats my baggie mate

As I said before, Im not 100% sure on it. But its possible they were released later. They couldve came with any playset that feature the Han Hoth also, but who knows

I don't think we'll ever know for sure but he's pretty cool all the same
