| Subject: Beginning Guide to Identifying SLC Reproduction Yak Face Thu Jan 02, 2020 10:58 pm | |
| Hi All,
I'm sure the community is well aware of the recent figure reproductions by Smith Lord Creations. I didn't see a guide up on TIG yet, and thought I would contribute some beginning photos / knowledge to help the community identify these new reproductions. I do have an original Kenner Yak Face, with some paint missing, that I'm using for the photo comparisons.
In hand, the SLC reproduction Yak Face really feels like a Kenner action figure. It has solid weight to it, the plastic appears like an original figure, and all 5 joints are articulated. The paint is good quality and overall the colors are a good match. At a distance, or in a photo, this figure would be extremely hard to identify as a reproduction. Up close there are a few differences noted in the photos below. The SLC Yak Face I purchased, was a loose variant. They are also being produced carded and I'm assuming the carded figure/weapon is identical to this loose sample. - Attachments

- From behind, the SLC reproduction has less definition in the head sculpt, and it does not have a pronounced mold line like the original. Also the wrist details appear to be slightly less defined on the reproduction
