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?

Did you notice the dull paint?
Toxictoyzz picture of his PBP C-3PO is the best proof of this dull gold C-3PO on a PBP card.

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.

There is indeed a Poch Bossk! And if you belive, that the fat lips Bossk is unique, then you ought to see the Poch Bossk!

I guess you are talking about this one here.

A green limbs Bossk...

Variant or transformant?

BTW: at TIG, Kenneth!

That's great to know Kenneth, thanks. Have you got any pictures of him?

Hi Kenneth, welcome to the forum

To all of you guys,

I found this chewbacca in a lot from a danish childhood collection.

Is this a PBP chewbacca ?



Unfortunately, the seller has been playing a lot with this character so it's become quite scratched

Great pics JC, is the Bossk on the right the big lipped variant and is the other the same as mikes here?

Mike, have you got a pic of the COO?

No, none of the contraataca cards is the fat lips Bossk.
The left one could be indeed "the green limbed" Bossk.

Sorry, this is not my Bossk. He was recently offered at ebay and the auction was ended early.

Thanks for the ID on the pics Mike, has the green limb got a scar COO do you know?

All Poch Variants do have Hong Kong COO.

Have you got a deep scar bossk Mike, what do you make of him?

A deep scar Bossk (scar like Greedo, Snaggletooth, Luke Hoth, AT-AT Coammander, etc) does not exist.

Hi Mirco.

Long time ago!! I hope, that you're doing well! Yes it's the same Bossk variant, that I'm referring too! I'll try to post some pics of my loose sample later tonight! It even got the characteristic meltmarks on the back!

Thanks a lot for the Bossk pics JC!

Are there no one who can help me ?

"Chewbacca PBP/ TRI? NOT CONFIRMED" IMO no Chewbacca is exclusive to PBP/spain.
From my limited experience all true PBP are very difficult to find so when a particluar variant can be found in large quantities it is not PBP. ( except the cantina aliens?)

Hi guys, finally got round to reading this thread after months of limited internet, awesome thread!
Not sure I can add anything to this as I haven't gone down the PBP route yet, but thought I'd share this Bespin Luke with you.

As you all know the dark boots Bespin Luke has long been called PBP, but never confirmed on a PBP card, but found on numerous palitoy and Tri-Logo cards. Well here's one of mine, complete with the production marks mentioned earlier and generally associated with Spanish figures.





I've highlighted th marked areas, the middle one on the small pocket on his belt is interesting as in is beneath the paint which shows clearly that these marks where present before paint application.

Hope this helps in some way.

Hi All,

I read this thread last night and have a few figures that I'm wondering about.

I think this might be the Han Hoth PBP 'Chocolate Legs' variant (If I understood correctly?)









This Large Head Han confused me. He doesn't have pale hands, which I think means he isn't PBP?





The figure on the right appears to be a hard torso CCP (He has a smaller chest emblem and thinner belt), but he doesn't have a pale face. Again, I'm not sure what that makes him?





The Bossk on the right, looks like one that was discussed earlier in the thread (in response to the larger lipped, overlapping scale one) He has the smaller shoulder pouch, and darker, slightly more defined limbs:








This Rebel Commander (On the right again) puzzled me too. He doesn't seem to be the PBP version as his boots aren't black. They are darker than the other RCs I have though. He is a lighter (less yellow hued) colour in general than the others I have. He has a paler face and darker boots, head scarf and goggles.





Are any of these PBP, or am I way off? (and in the worng thread lol)

As always, really appreciate any help.

Many thanks in advance.

Jeremy
