Another note:

Your believed faded Rebel Soldier with white/creme face has the same color as some Dengars!

Also I disbelieve you theorie on the CCP! There is tons of white faced CCPS and only 5 or 6 known pink faces! the point is: They are wether pick or white...there is no "stage" known with half "discolored" face....strange or?

Its unlikely all pale face CCP are disoclored...would be the same as all Tri Dengars would be disolored IMO!


I dont want to give ya a hard time Javi...or argue...or want to be the better "expert"...its just that I dont see it mate!

Hey,
no problem Wolff ,i dont have any interest in convince You or anybody else ,i am building My loose Poch/pbp collection for My own , i just thougth those picts could be interesting...
Btw i am not an expert If You Are meaning me....

Hey Javi,

of course you are an expert! You had many of those in hands!

And: these pictures ARE very interesting!! I always love to see the real rare PBP stuff!!

Cheers

Great discussion guys, I also think there discoloured figures.

There's been some great info on here about discoloured figures lately and I for one can't ignore this any more. To me Javi hit it on the head with his picture of the RS, makes clearer scene to me now, thanks for sharing guys.

RetroRewindToys I'd never seen a Luke X wing with normal face before and automatically assumed they all had white faces. Thanks for sharing.

Attached some pics of the Bossk I got from Spain. I believe this is a Poch/PBP as he has specific characteristics. Sorry if this has been already treated. The spanish Bossk has a,smaller arm patch. It has a very fine sculpt. Whilst the "Kenner version" has a flat sculpt for the skin, the Poch/PbP has a skin with overlapping scales. It has no COO. Pics below. The Poch is "crossed". Hope you guys will find this useful. Sorry for the bad pics, wish I could do better.

And dont forget the big lips!

Thanks for sharing Alex!!

A great figure, which haven't been discussed before in this thread.

True! the fat lips! :

Great bossk you got there Alex, thanks for giving us the low down on his differences. Was he found on POCH cards or was it PBP, any ideas?

Actually he was mixed with other Star Wars figures I got from Spain, I should check if the other figs have also different characteristics/COO. Honestly, I can't tell if this Bossk is POCH or PBP...
I also got a very goldish C3P0 (with a lot of loss paint unfortunately) with a screw in the back but it does not look like a Takara, could it be a POCH/PBP? Any idea? I will try to post a pic tonight...

Is there both Bossk's, PBP and POCH? The C3-PO sounds like the the PBP to me mate, nice one.

I always thought Poch and PBP were the same company. Thats why its called Poch/PBP.

Thanks for the clarification; I don't know much about the company history (I should say "nothing"!)

Joe has a nice write up about it on his Tri-Logo site, third one down

http://trilogo.info/intro-history/european-countries-companies/

I tried to copy it from the site to post, but for some reason I couldnt. So I had to give Joe a free plug for the site.

Lol sorry, it was a concious decision to remove the right click ability when viewing the site so pictures and content is not easily copied, although of course it wouldn't stop the most determined it does work for most people lol!

Consider the free plug very welcome

Oh I was determined. I tried 10 times before I gave up. But that is a very good idea that other sites should consider. Makes the scammers do more work typing out the descriptions everybodys worked years on. But the site did turn up on page 2 of the Google search for Poch/PBP, very good sign.

CTRL+C, CTRL+V works fine
Thanks guys for the link, I will read that comfortably once at home.
Alex

Lol yeah it does but luckily most people give up before they realise that

I think there's only certain figures that where found the POCH logo cards mate, that's what I was trying to get at with my questions. Is Bossk one of them or did he come on PBP cards or both?

If I remember correctly, I read somewhere once that this Bossk figure has never been found on a PBP or POCH card. So there is no definite proof.
On the other hand the figure appeared in childhood collections from Spain but also in the UK (Palitoy)?

Some input needed from the experts here.

Wolff, Javi, Uli, Michael.....

You can find this figure in spain indeed, but there´s still no proof of a carded one. (PBP or Poch card)
And yes, you´ll find them in the UK and also in Germany, because they were sometimes released on German GM 45backs and Palitoy 45backs. Not every 45 back countains this figure...only sometimes.
All carded ones I have seen had the single stem blister and not the double stem blister.

That's interesting that you say the UK Marco and Mike great info and pic there mate. I think I have the same figure here but without the big lips. What do you think?

Second from the right, Left leg 1980 L.F.L No COO 2 lines.

No, the 2line no coo is a complete different figure.
The "PBP" Bossk is has a unique coo and is always a 1liner.

Have a look at his legs how fine and detailed the are molded.

Mike, fabulous pics! Thanks! So this Bossk can be found in Germany. Good to know.

Jumping to another subject, I got this C3P0 with a screw in the back (first on the left side) from a Spanish friend. Unfortunately he is in really bad condition (paint losses), it is stamped "Hong Kong". An idea?

I take the opportunity to post a better pic of my Dark Chocolate Rebel Soldier. Certainly a very variation for you guys around but an "achievement" for a newbie like me.

That´s a PBP C-3PO actually it´s the same as the Lili Ledy, but when you got the figure from spain it´s definately from a PBP and not a Ledy card.
Very nice DBRS

My mistake Mike, mines also a 1liner but the (c) is smaller. Same paint job though apart from the mouth, which is interesting. Also the leg details the same.


Alex, I love the rebel soldier mate, nice one.
