Hi all its a while since I last posted and was only looking back on my original limelight yesterday and think 95% of what was on there then has now gone but one door closes and another opens so its all good and look forward to updating it soon with whats current

But I wonder if anyone can let me know what variants there are on Luke Farmboy that AFA for example would recognise when grading a loose figure as I have a couple but notice UK Graders only mention the hair and not the pants.
I dont really want to go off on a variant tangent but would be quite interested to see if I could put together a run of acknowledged different types (apologies if some of this has been mentioned in the FOTW thread).

So far I have
1) Brown Hair / Light pants
2) Blonde Hair / Dark pants
plus I have seen
3) Blonde Hair / Light pants
4) Brown Hair / Dark pants
5) Dark Brown Hair / Light pants
6) Orange Hair / ?? pants

Many thanks in anticipation
Tony

Welcome back
I started a similar thread : http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/t3935-loose-afa-ukg-descriptions
I still haven't 'joined'/registered on the AFA site. Perhaps that's the only way to get a definitive list?
I suspect if you ask UKG for a specific variant label they may consider it.
'Obvious' variants both UKG & AFA 'must' label would be the actual C.O.O. ie. HK, Taiwan, China ..... ??
DT would make the list too

start a picture list:
#6orange hair

#5 dark brown hair/lt pants

#4 brown hair, DRK pants

DT saber, no letter variant


this might be a long list

Hi James
Thanks for that and after looking at that link I remember reading it and didnt put 2+2 together !!
I have taken these pics of the labels (apologies for quality from my Blackberry !) and you can see that the UK graders label (DT Luke) has a bit more information than the AFA



perhaps I can ask AFA if they know or check on the database ?
cheers
Tony

Hmm bit worried about that no letter variant, I'm not good with dt, but I read very good info yesterday and it mentioned that there are no "no letter" variants.

re my DT Luke it mentions "GG" on the hilt of the Lightsaber (its blurred on the pic)

Ah you replied when I was still making my post. I was refering to the post above yours.

No picture of the label

Maybe oxidation like on the leias? Golden brown sounds a bit weird. I'll check my lukes when I get back home.

Hey Rawlin thats ok I did realise you wasnt mentioning mine but thought I would add anyway
James ....Golden Brown hair ..... see this is where it gets messy
I noticed on Jeffs Museum limelight on RS that he has 8 graded Lukes all lined up and i have asked him what the descriptions are of his ones.

not so good info
There are legit DTs without letters.

Tony I was going to suggest contacting Jeff

Great minds think alike James

I have just bought another DT Luke and waiting for it to arrive but label does not mention anything on the lightsabre ??

One of the reasons I only lookded for graded was I didnt want to take a chance on a fake loose

Well it was good info, actually very good info, but I'm far from good at dt's. If I get one I won't buy any without letters that's for sure.

Of what I've read, I wouldn't trust AFA with weapons and accessories.

I wonder if you have a COA from Tom Derby it helps but tend to agree with you ...... its a worry if that is the case with AFA

Apparently there is a Metallic Green pants variant now as well .... wonder if AFA would state that
