Hello

here is a part of my modest collection of vintage variant   I have been collecting for 2 years now, doing lot's of research, most of the figures shown here were quite hard to found.

this is fully dedicaced to those who helped me and shared their knowledge: in france Jerome allias JEJESTAR with who everything started, stephane faucourt who has always been very helpfull, and Fansolo. Also guys from Imperial Gunnary: Wolff, Kenneth, Marco, Alex, Patrick, Stephan, Mirco, Lee, Javi from spain, Sergio (spain too), Chris, Flycusal, Olisud, Luis, Jay...those from who I bought figs, trade or sale, guys from TIG, mintinbox, SWUK, rebelscum, spanishSW (Jota), many collectors from spain too          

None of the categories here after are finished, it is just to share my collection as it is today (and I am not trying to compite with anyone else )...I always loved variant limelight like Mirco and wolff did. I hope some more guys will do it too in the future

if someone has question, wants more pictures or details, please send me a message

I will start with my favorite, figs from spain:

poch fig:

luke brown hair is a "mix figure"
RS are quite identical variant beside small details, as the two Snowy at the end of the line, bespin soldier and leia bespin

now some figures from spain I am not 100% sure they are poch for now despite some of you confirmed it.


PBP and trilogo variants:

pbp and trilogo han
chewy G coo and circle under feat
C3PO with a screw
...

ledy variant (just a few)

C3PO, yoda and ben were bought in spain, but I think they are identical to ledys so I have put them here too

Meccano

different coo or small details for each variant.
Yoda and leia bespin (sometime called geisha leia) are no coo not exclusive to meccano I think

that's it for today

thanks for reading this

cheers

I always love to see pics of loose variant collections!  

It's a great 'foreign' variant collection Nicolas and "modest" doesn't do your collection justice!  

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice! and a reminder to me that I really must find a nice PBP han solo & hammerhead for my collection, how I'm missing them I don't know ?!?!

That's a great Posh & PBP collection.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice collection , thanks for sharing!
good luck and enjoy the hunt

You have accumulated an amazing collection, in such a short time Nicholas,
congratulations on acquiring so many fantastic Euro and Ledy figure variants, it is a collection to be proud of my friend

I shall enjoy following your limelight for future updates  

Thank you all for your nice and encouraging message will post more soon

So many rare figures in here in fantastic condition! Huge congrats for this achievement Nicolas! . You even managed to collect all of these in a very short amount of time!

I'll e-mail you regarding questions involving a few of the Poch figures!

Kenneth

It is great to see the huge variety of vintage variants. Quite a few of those you have I'm still on the hunt for. What ones are high on your want list? Do you have any favourites?

@kenneth: you know what? really too much time spent on this I love collecting them, and found a mint rare variant, especially poch figs, is so great, but it is really an addiction. So that's why I told you I want to slow down a bit for a while, enjoying those I got...

that said, I just received a very nice pbp black bespin guard this morning that makes my day

it's nooooo addiction collecting Poch figures.............. Not that I know of......

in my wanted list for now, there is nothing like a ledy boba removable rocket or vador DT, even ledy jawas or model trem boutlegs are to high for me now (in terms of money of course).
But I might try to trade few rare spare for those I am really after now:
- pbp luke farmboy (this one could be in first list, right   )
- no coo death squad commander (this one too)
- mint dsd meccano (same)
- DT luke
- chewe black pouch poch
- leia poch
- luke bespin poch
- orange hair Luke farmboy
- bossk poch light green toxic
- pbp 4 lom with red armor
- leia bespin gold neck (good condition of the gold on neck)
- vador c3po stormtrooper takara
- stormtrooper ledy
- meccano cardbacks
...still lot of things to found

my favorite are always changing, depends how much I have been searching the fig and how did I found it. My first yak face I found for 35euros was quite used, but was one of my favorite for a long time, then I found a mint one, sold the other, and moved to something else.
- My first "rare" fig was a mint meccano tie pilot, in a lot, and that's how I started when I learned this worth more than 200. I hesitated to sell it, but decide to found the other ones: boba meccano, dsd meccano, luke hoth pink face...
- I love my mint dark brown rebel soldier, because it is really different from the classic one. and it is very fragile, so difficult to found a mint one.
- I love poch figs that has lots of poch criteria: rebel commander poch. Mine is mint, I bought it in a lot for quite a decent price, I have been looking for it for few month, it has melt mark, bubbles on painting, specific color of boots, plastic extursion...one of my favorite. han solo hoth is about the same.
- Luke poch brown hair, because I had it for month without having identify it as a poch, and also because it seems prety rare.
- I love the PBP hard plastic, like luke pilot or the stormy, it looks much stronger than the other version, and same, I found it by chance in france for good price, it's mint...
- Leia gaisha is quite cool, much nicer than the other leia bespin imo,
- Wally light green has beautifull flashy colors you don't found in star wars, like a pop figure.
- Chewe unpainted pouch (poch,) is cool figure too, don't really know if poch, but very specific things about this figure (and I think it might be kind of rare one). I will try to post more details about those figs

Good work, Nicholas. That's an impressive set of variants

Great collection Nicolas! Nice to see so many 'minty' rare figure my friend

Hi Nicholas, thank you for sharing your limelight here on TIG.  

I took a good cup of coffee and enjoyed looking at all your variant figures.
You managed to build up a great collection.
Keep on going!  




Cheers,
Marco

thanks guys for your messages

today a pic of my han hoth. far from being a complete set of all variantion, at least I got all the main coo (not all variation of scar for exemple). the most search after would be: molded variant, pbp/trilogo scar and poch chocolate and not chocolate.

top line: coo I hk poch, hk kenner, no coo, coo II different hk and no coo
line 2: coo III kenner hk, kenner molded hk, 3 scar: pink face tri and 2 pale pbp differnet scar, 2 poch chocolate (different eyes painting, one has bad sonnic welding, the other one has melt marks and bubbles on legs)


pink scar, pale same as pink, and other pale

Sweet items there dude, I like the Brown hair Luke and Brown snake Yoda best but all are cool.

great collection right there
