Did you get that fett with the smoke damage? I saw it was put up lat week by Jordan. I was going to give it a run but it still went out of my current budget range.

Also has there been any confirmed carded fetts with Hong Kong on them? I saw the toy fair sample, but wondered if there have been any production ones found.

Yes it's the same item, but it serves as a place holder until I replace it with photos of my droids moc. However the photos I have are on my PC at work

Well that's the whole idea. First photos of the card backs then a production matrix so we can see where these figure were produced. Believe it or not this small product range spans 5 different countries!!!

Card back reference page completed, thanks to MarkYeo   

Top work on this guide, Stefan, and big thanks also to Mark for his input

Did anybody know this......?
 

Tig Fromm MOC: Kenner (USA/Europe)
 

Tig Fromm MOC: Kenner (USA/Europe) "Made In Mexico"
 

Ewoks Wicket MOC: Kenner (USA/Europe) "Made In Mexico"
 
NOTE:

Not all the Droids product line was manufactured in the Far East. Instead Kenner opted to utilise there Mexican Factory to produce the Tig Fromm & Sise Fromm figures. It is also worth noting that several of the Ewoks figures where produced in the same factory, along with several vehicles including the Tatooine Skiff.

Great updates again Stefan  

Interesting little discovery with the Made in Mexico print.

Interesting read again and I'd very much like to see this posting move to the reference page as sticky if you agree Stefan.

That would be a good idea mods.

We'd better ask a MOD nicely.

Done!

 

A new logo and sticky'ed

Patiently waiting.....

A-Wing pilot!!!!  

Walkie those Droid figures are Ace man  

I've been wanting that Kellerman Book for ever  

Interestingly, Mark_Yeo's Glasslite Kez-Iban has a slightly different paint "error/trait" on his left leg!

Somewhere in a Top Secret Research facility.....
 

 

 

Just saw that those pictures and thought "Are you insane"then saw the arm and I'm assuming that's the Poon Vlix!

Jesus Stefan, toy's are not for kids!  

My little man had a cold and playing with Vlix helped cheer him up, it's only plastic

Accessory comparisons added for...

Tig Fromm
 

 
NOTE:
Kenner was the only licensee to release Tig Fromm COO (no. 1), therefore no other figures are available for comparison.

ACCESSORIES:
The Kenner Tig Fromm came with a V2 2-1B Staff, currently the TIG weapons guide only shows the V1 (No EPM). The V2 can also be found with the 2-1B action figure however the Droids issued staff is a DARKER silver.

Boba Fett
 

 
NOTE:
Kenner was the only licensee to release Boba Fett COO (no. 1), therefore no other figures are available for comparison.
 
*IMPORTANT NOTE* Before anyone screams you've missed the HK Boba Fett, have I?
 
Whilst there are several known examples of the Hong Kong Boba Fett (Identified by the brown belt) on Droids cards, these card backs have MADE IN TAIWAN on the reverse. The only known example to my knowledge of a HONG KONG Boba Fett on a MADE IN HONG KONG card is the toy fair sample shown on the Star Wars Collectors Archive web-link http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=48836
 
There are many known examples of over-stocked figures shipped to other licensees to fulfil production demands. So is this the case with over-stocked Boba Fett figures from HONG KONG shipped to TAIWAN?

Lets not forget the numerous mis-carded figure/accessory combinations that exist.
 
So until a HONG KONG Boba Fett turns up on a MADE IN HONG KONG Droids card back we should consider this....The only "TRUE" Droids Boba Fett is the TAIWAN variant.

The Droids A-Wing Pilot came with a V? black endor blaster, the comparison photos below also show the V? which came with the POTF version of this figure.

Vlix
 

 
NOTE:
The Glasslite Vlix has the same COO (no. 1) as the Poon Reproduction figure which is used below for comparison.
 
The Poon Vlix figure was moulded from an original Vlix figure along with the Glasslite hoth rifle. Whilst they are very easy to spot in hand, from a photograph buyers could easily be deceived as both figures have the same COO markings.
