Hi guys...

OK, my eyes are having a bugger or a time identifying this COO and CP asked about it, so I am asking for opinions.

It is from this Hollow cheek Raider:


COO:


At first I thought it was #8, but looking at the 1 in 1977 and the K in Kong on the second line, the K in Kong starts further down the leg in relation to the 1 than what is show on the COO chart for th closes match of #8.
This one doesn't seem to be pictured yet.

Thoughts? My eyes bonkers again?  


And a side question.... this gaffi stick...


CP seemed to think it might be a rarer sculpt, but I have no idea.
I can take better pictures, but it is a crappy day right now but will take better shots if needed for whatever.

cheers and thanks!

Hi Jay, in your pic in the 'Recent Acquisitions Thread' the gaffi stick looked like the one shown with my hollow eyes Tusken  & the bottom one in AJ's group shot (pics above).  Looking at the pics you've shown here, it looks like a 'normal' one.

bummer... OH well... it's in good shape and not chewed on, so at least that is a plus.

cheers!

I agree Jay, your COO is most like #8, but not identical. One thing to remember is that this version of Wolffs COO guide is not complete. Also, as it is widely accepted that the moulds travelled in pairs or even trios, you do get small COO differences as each mould was individually stamped.

It would be interesting to see if other members have exactly the same COO.

Yeah, I have learned that the hard and headache filled way after going crazy with Leia Bespin these past few months.
No more "Is this a new one?"... now its just "not listed yet". hehe
I would love to see what wolf has hidden away in his lair.  

Anyway........ I'm just happy to have a hollow cheek in good shape. Nice upgrade to my display case replacing the long eye'd.

cheers!

The reason I was interested in the Gaffi stick & COO, was to see whether they were the same as mine. I am interested to know whether my combo is original or a marriage.
