| Thanks Ozio, so that would suggest 'sloppy' manufacturing processes with the application of the chrome/varnish?
In which case there is no such thing as a 'silver' C-3PO as they are all variations of gold be in light, dark, dull or shiny, and as my examples shows there can be a tinge of gold in the finish. |

| Guys the seller is a member here, so ask him directly. In fact we saw these figures back on page 16
http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/t5523p225-the-lili-ledy-guide-discussion-thread-part-2#106860
He is Polk #1. I believe he aquired the figure from mexico in its current state, however that does not mean it is a ledy. He does have a lot of nice stuff up at the moment and it seems that a couple of the pieces are being discussed including the orange cape squidhead he has which was brought up yesterday by Jedi June. |

| Here are the 12" Lili Ledy's that I bought from a RS member out of the Toronto area. I didn't know much about them when I bought them, other than they were Lili Ledy. Hopefully we can create a great TIG Lili Ledy guide for them as well. Just some basic pictures. I will get some more pictures and close ups soon. Hopefully some of our resident LL experts can help as well. Here is what the RS member told me, at least best to his knowledge. 12" Darth Vader with all original LL boots, clothing, & cape, missing original saber. I have some sort of repo saber with it. 12" Sand Person (Tusken Raider) with original LL boots. Clothes are not original. 12" Han Solo with all original LL boots, clothing, belt and gun. He thinks the belt actually belongs to Luke. 12" Luke Skywalker with original LL boots. The belt is questionable? The rest of the clothing is not original.      |

| Nice Boba Adolfo, I've never seen that L before, it looks pretty different to the L's found on other molds, like this ones on LL Squid Head:  As you can see these ones have volume, the one on your pic looks carved on my opinion.  or could be something like this ones, they look thinner but still with volume:  We need better pics, the one thing I can't place on that L is that it should be present on all or lots of the LL Bobas, that's not a unique characteristic, if it was on the mold then that L should be all over the place, just as the L's on the LL Squid Head, Every single LL Squid has them, there's another LL figure with L's Lando Skiff, also each one I've checked has those. Again, if this L was a mold thing it should be present on every LL Boba. Hey Adolfo can you take a nice close up of that L? Here some pics of more Bobas:     I agree with Wolff, that stormtrooper looks custom, there's no HK Stormie. Is the book you are talking about the LL guide that came out some months ago? Cheers Ozio

| This evening, I will check the book from Dack Coleccionables for any entries of a HK COO Stormtrooper. Nice post about the 12 inch Ledy figures, Clint. EDIT: Have just searched the book for over 15 minutes and could not find it, at least not on all the logical places. So just forget about the HK COO Ledy Stormi.

| Ok, on that book, the Stormtrooper pictured and described as LL it's not a LL figure.

Here is what the RS member told me, at least best to his knowledge.

12" Luke Skywalker with original LL boots. The belt is questionable? The rest of the clothing is not original.
Hi, I can add this: Those belts are repro, look: Original for Han Solo:  Original for Luke:  The sticker on Vader is missing:  The gun for Han should not have the 'HONG KONG' on it, (can't see it on your pic). These are the original sabers:  and the boots on Luke and Tusken Raider shoul be brown:  I hope this helps. Cheers Ozio |

Ozio Thanks Ozio for your help.  Question, is the LL Vader cape supposed to have a snap on it? |

Thank you for the clarification, Ozio. I know there have been some questionable things to come out of that book. Thank you again |

Thanks Ozio, +'s on the way Here are some close ups of the Vader cape that I have. I'm beginning to think that it's not real or it's been repaired. The snap is more like a button that goes through the cape. And the stitching looks different than the one you showed. Also Han's gun looks in rough shape. Melted a bit?     |

Here some pics of more Bobas: Cheers Ozio Horacio , are those LL RRBF´s???? .... or fixed rockets LL Fetts that has been taken out the rocket??? the last pic looks to me as a regular fixed rocket that was taken out by force ( you can clearly see the mark of the rocket been cut from the base of the pocket) sadly I dont have more LL RRBF´s with me know... all I have are old pics from them... when I discover that it even took several minutes for everybody to see the "L" becasue you can only see it fom certain angle , it was even very difficult to get it with the zoom of the camara ... I assume that the LL RRBF was made in a different mold from the regular LL FRBF. ( still I have to open the LL FRBF to see it with my own eyes!)   |

the last pic looks to me as a regular fixed rocket that was taken out by force ( you can clearly see the mark of the rocket been cut from the base of the pocket) sadly I dont have more LL RRBF´s with me know... all I have are old pics from them...

Hi Adolfo thanks for your reply, 3 of them are LL RR Bobas, the last one is a RR but with the rocket inserted before the welding process. I have a broken regular LL fett also and not one of them have that L inside, can you use a magnifier glass on it for a better pic? Cheers Ozio |
