Hey James really nice to see you still around! Hope all is good mate?

It seems like only yesterday I wrote that thread .... I can't believe it will be Six years in July - my wife is expecting our first and much longed for baby in July too so a nice coincidence!

Take care mate

Huge congrats. Fatherhood is an awesome adventure.

Roger - love the two-right-feet Emperor    Congrats on the Ledy Squid Head too!

Craigy - nice to see you log in again. Congrats to you and your wife on upcoming parenthood, that's great news

Production error (?) Emperor with 2 right legs. Pretty beat up but no signs of tampering with the leg, still stiff and has a wear mark where the arm has rubbed against it.

Pretty sweet/ hilarious error!

A few recent POCH additions to my collection...



(left-Right) Death Squad Commander, Luke Farmboy & Jawa (All POCH)




1. Death Squad Commander (POCH) - Typical poor sonic welding, spotty black paint and melt marks on the rear of the torso to name just a few.





2. Luke Farmboy (POCH) - Again the typical poor sonic welding, pale (almost white) hands, melt marks and penis on the torso.





3. Jawa (POCH) - Melt marks on leg and front of hood, small irregular eyes and some seriously bad sonic welding LOL!!

Love the Jawa. Not liking Luke's penis so much

great poch additions stef ..............

Jawa torsos- front & back are different Bandolier pattern ( see a few of these )

Yeah I'm happy with that. To me one of the POCH traits is mixed up factory overstock. I've examined the two halves closely and they difinately left the factory together as there are some signs of a partial sonic weld.

Nice poch additions stef. I would agree, that is some seriously bad welding,

That's a great-looking misb Speeder Bike, congrats

Stef - congrats on the latest Poch trio

lobotic , great speederbike looks minty

Those poch figures look great Stef! - forgive me for my ignorance, but why were poch figures poorly sonic welded? Weren't they all made in the same Far East factory? Interesting.

Well done on the MISB speeder Lobotic! - you can never have enough speeder bikes the sealed ones are so much harder to find.

Great pick-ups!

Thanks guys i am really pleased as this is my first speeder misb and i forgot to say that is some great pochs there walkie i am still waiting for my first

The theory amongst collectors is that early POCH figures used imported parts from the far east, these were both painted in Spain hence the unique paint apps (choc brown leg han hoth for example) and then assembled.

The melt marks tend to be in similar positions on a lot of the POCH figures so my best guess would be that the cradle they used during the sonic welding process contacted the figures in these area's and the vibration against the cradle caused the melt marks. All a theory by the way!!

Happy to add a PBP Hammerhead!

I thought you already have a pbp hammerhead?

I had the ESB, but got an offer I couldn't refuse on it

Great pbp hammerhead !!!!

Stefan - Awesome POCH figures. This variant thing could go on the rest of my lifetime (whatever I've got left. )

John (DarthB) - Woah! I've not seen too many PBP carded figures... Seriously cool.

Nice hammer !!!

I don't have Stef's amazing picture taking skills but ........

Poch dark brown hair luke farmy
pretty excited

Nice Luke. For a poch it looks like he is in great shape.
