| Once again, Lumat and Paploo are the only figures that are made in Mexico that were released in the US on US cards. They were stamped MIM, cardbacks that is. So yes, they could be considerd Ledy and US release both.

| i know i am gonna get a death star sent over to my house to blow it up on this and i have read a bit on the Ledy toys but why such an epic interest over them?
why not meccano, palitoy or the others distributors? everything seems to be about ledy's. Personally i am gonna stick the classic north american usa-canada issues but paying a huge amounts of money for coo changes and paint scheme differences...
what makes them so special? |

| I also love the cool colours of the CCP. And the Speeder bike graphics and inserts case is very cool I'd like to get hold of some more Ledy sometime, right now I just have Paploo Lumat and this cool guy ... But hey ... what is that strange dark figure in the shadowy background ... ???! ....  No! It can't be !! No ...  HAN: "Look kid, I don't know how many times I have to tell you this... there is NO Ledy black Wampa !! _________________________________________________ Paul F,

Death Star on its way now.  What makes Lili Ledy worth collecting for me: 1) There are all kind of subtle (and less subtle) variations in paint scheme, accessories, and moulds, giving the figures two extra coolness points compared to Kenner figures. To give you an idea. Does the Ledy Han Solo look way cooler while wearing a rough textured trench coat and a carrying black (!) Bespin gun? The answer is YES!  Is the Ledy Klaatu a much tougher looking character while wearing a skirt which is made from real Bantha fur instead of Kenner's imitation rabbit fur. The answer is YES again!!   I think I should stop here, you got the point, but sure there many more examples (burgundy Squid, Bib, Cloud Car Pilot,...) 2) The figures were produced in Mexico giving them some Latin spirit. One half extra spirit point earned. 3) Lili Ledy produced no less than 53 figures (including the Max Reebo band), so as a collector you really have something to do. Another half point added. 4) Look at that logo, isn't it beautiful?!!. One cool logo point added. So Lili Ledy has 2+0.5+0.5+1= 4 extra coolness points compared to the Kenner line. If you give the Kenner line a 6 on a scale from 0 to 10 (sorry can't give more  ), this means Ledy is an absolute 10. It is a matter of pure mathematics, I can’t help it. |

Comparison between Lukes: From left to right: 1 (Kenner), 2 (Ledy), 3 (Ledy), 4 (Ledy) Comparison between Lukes: Counterclockwise starting at the top: 1 (Kenner), 2 (Ledy), 3 (Ledy), 4 (Ledy) Major variations:The dark brown Ledy Luke Bespin in the pictures below is a kitbashed figure composed of a Ledy body and a factory painted Ledy overstock head. The dark brown Luke Bespin was never released on card by Lili Ledy. Comparison between Brown Lukes: Figure with overstock head (left), Production figure (right) Comparison between Brown Lukes: Figure with overstock head (left), Production figure (right) Comparison between Brown Lukes: Figure with overstock head (left), Production figure (right) B.

The brown hair Ledy Luke was released on later ROTJ cards. ACCESSORIES LIGHTSABER:The Ledy Luke Bespin came with a yellow V1 saber. Also PBP released sabers with a V1 mould (denoted as V2 in TIG’s reference weapon guide: http://www.imperialgunnery.com/thelightsabersection.htm ). GUN:The brown Ledy Luke Bespin carries a blue V1 Bespin gun. The blond Ledy Luke also came with a smuggler gun on the first ESB 10-backs.

| Yet another great update Marco There are a few examples of Luke Bespin with a Luke Jedi head on the internet. I am 99.99% certain these NEVER left the factory this way. |

| That is some sound proof that these weird figures are customs indeed. Good work StarWizz. Now go on and make us a patchless Prune Face in 10 seconds. Probably it will take a bit longer but in the end it can be done, as this Prune Face is a custom figure too. |

| LEIA COMBAT PONCHO COO guide for Leia Combat Poncho NOTE: COO #2 is shared by Lili Ledy and Kenner COO #2 Leia Combat Poncho: Kenner (left), Lili Ledy (right).

Leia Combat Poncho: Kenner (left), Lili Ledy (right). DIFFERENCES: Compared to her Kenner counterpart, the LL Leia Combat Poncho has: - A darker pinkish face - Darker brown eyes, and eyebrows - Glossy instead of matt brown hair - A more greenish grey shirt - Different helmet, poncho, and gun (see below) PAINT VARIATIONS:Small Variations:The small paint differences between the Lili Ledy figures (for instance the size of the pupils) which can be seen in the picture below are due to small batch to batch variations in the Leia line. Comparison between Leia figures: Counterclockwise starting at the top: 1 (Kenner), 2 (Ledy), 3 (Ledy), 4 (Ledy)  The black paint on the boots can be glossy or matt. This is often the case for black paint applied by Lili Ledy, other examples are Madine’s boots and AT-ST driver’s belt. Small differences between Lili Ledy Leia’s: Poncho (darker and lighter green camouflage ‘spots’) and boots (matt and glossy). Small differences between Lili Ledy Leia’s: Poncho (darker and lighter green camouflage ‘spots’) and boots (matt and glossy). ACCESSORIES HELMET: BELT: PONCHO:The Ledy poncho has a different and darker green camouflage pattern compared to the Kenner poncho. Besides the Ledy poncho is lacking the holes for the belt.

| LUMAT COO guide for Lumat NOTE: Lumat has COO #1 which means an absence of all possible markings: no country of origin, no copyright, no datestamp. COO #1 Lumat Lumat Lumat Lumat Lumat Lumat Lumat PAINT VARIATIONS:Small Variations:The small paint differences between the different Lumat figures which can be seen in the picture below are due to small batch to batch variations in the Lumat line. - Mouth and nose: matt / glossy grey-blue paint - Eyes: matt / glossy black paint Comparison between Lumat figures. From left to right: Lumat A, B, C. - Lumat A. Matt black eyes. Glossy grey-blue mouth and nose - Lumat B. Matt black eyes. Matt grey-blue mouth and nose paint - Lumat C. Glossy black eyes. Matt grey-blue mouth and nose ACCESSORIES BOW: HOOD: QUIVER:Small paint differences between different quivers are possible, probably reflecting small batch to batch variations. Comparison between Lumat quivers. From left to right: Quiver A, B, C, D.  - Quiver A. Arrow points fully painted in glossy creamy-white - Quiver B: Arrow points partly painted in glossy creamy-white - Quiver C: Arrow points fully painted in matt white - Quiver D: Arrow points partly painted in glossy creamy-white. NOTES
- ALL Lumats were produced by Lili Ledy in Mexico, so also including the ones which appeared on non Ledy cards. (Made in Mexico, POTF, and Trilogo).
- In the comparison pictures shown above, a Kenner counterpart is therefore lacking.
- Small differences can be observed for the Lumat figures and accessories:
- Mouth and nose: matt / glossy grey-blue paint - Eyes: matt / glossy black paint - Quiver: arrow points fully/partially painted in bright/creamy white
- These small paint differences between the Lili Ledy figures are due to small batch to batch variations in the Lumat line.
- It is an urban myth you can use these small differences to make a distinction between a ‘true’ Lili Ledy coming from a Ledy card and a Lumat which was released on any other card. Proof you can read by clicking the link below:
The Lumat Case: Is there a difference between Lili Ledy and Made in Mexico Figures?

| Keep up the great work Marco! I'm looking forward to going through my Ledys and using this thread (and the main guide) to confirm a few question marks in my Ledy run to date...just hope there aren't too many I need to replace  |

| STORMTROOPER COO guide for Stormtrooper NOTE: COO #9A/9B is shared by the Lili Ledy and PBP Stromtrooper. COO #9A and COO #9B The Ledy Stormtrooper came with two slightly different COOs. They differ only in the spacing between ‘©’ and ‘G.M.F.G.I. 1977.’: -COO #9A: Almost no space between ‘©’ and ‘G.M.F.G.I. 1977.’ -COO #9B: Bigger space between ‘©’ and ‘G.M.F.G.I. 1977.’ These small COO differences do not indicate any differences in paint schemes. REMARK: In the pics below a comparison is made between a Lili Ledy and PBP Stormtrooper. A Trilogo Stormtrooper is also included for reference. All three versions have a hard torso, which is cast in much more detailed plastic. Hard Torso Stormtroopers: Trilogo (left, COO #11), PBP (middle, COO #9B), Lili Ledy (right, COO #9A) Hard Torso Stormtroopers: Trilogo (left, COO #11), PBP (middle, COO #9B), Lili Ledy (right, COO #9A) Hard Torso Stormtroopers: Trilogo (left, COO #11), PBP (middle, COO #9B), Lili Ledy (right, COO #9A) Hard Torso Stormtroopers: Trilogo (left, COO #11), PBP (middle, COO #9B), Lili Ledy (right, COO #9A) Hard Torso Stormtroopers: Trilogo (left, COO #11), PBP (middle, COO #9B), Lili Ledy (right, COO #9A) Hard Torso Stormtroopers: Trilogo (left, COO #11), PBP (middle, COO #9B), Lili Ledy (right, COO #9A) ------------------------------------ Comparison between Ledy Stormtroopers: COO #9A (left figure, almost no space between ‘©’ and ‘G.M.F.G.I. 1977.’) and COO #9B (right figure, bigger space between ‘©’ and ‘G.M.F.G.I. 1977.’). Comparison between Ledy Stormtroopers: COO #9A (left figure, almost no space between ‘©’ and ‘G.M.F.G.I. 1977.’) and COO #9B (right figure, bigger space between ‘©’ and ‘G.M.F.G.I. 1977.’). Comparison between Ledy Stormtroopers: COO #9A (left figure, almost no space between ‘©’ and ‘G.M.F.G.I. 1977.’) and COO #9B (right figure, bigger space between ‘©’ and ‘G.M.F.G.I. 1977.’). Comparison between Ledy Stormtroopers: COO #9A (left figure, almost no space between ‘©’ and ‘G.M.F.G.I. 1977.’) and COO #9B (right figure, bigger space between ‘©’ and ‘G.M.F.G.I. 1977.’). DIFFERENCES:Compared to his PBP counterpart, the Ledy Stormtrooper has: - A thicker black helmet band - A wider black mouth piece - Bright instead of creamy white head, torso and limbs - Limbs made from soft instead of hard (more detailed) plastic - Sometimes a filled peghole in the right foot (see the pics further below) Remark: The PBP Stormtrooper in the picture totally lacks the black paint on the helmet 'ear' pieces. Probably a factory error. Compared to his Trilogo counterpart, the Ledy Stormtrooper has: - Another COO: COO #9A/#9B instead of COO #10/#11 - A thicker black helmet band - A wider black mouth piece Comparison between Stormtroopers. From left to right: 1 (PBP), 2 (Ledy, COO #9A), 3 (Ledy, COO #9A), 4 (Ledy, COO #9A), 5 (Ledy, COO #9B). Note that all Ledy Stormtroopers have a filled peghole in the right foot. Comparison between Stormtroopers. From left to right: 1 (PBP), 2 (Ledy, COO #9A), 3 (Ledy, COO #9A), 4 (Ledy, COO #9A), 5 (Ledy, COO #9B). Note that all Ledy Stormtroopers have a filled peghole in the right foot. ACCESSORIES The Ledy Stormtrooper wears a solid black imperial blaster having a different mould (V6 or V7) compared to the Kenner blasters.    Lili Ledy solid blue and solid black imperial blasters. Top row: V7 mould. Bottom row: V6 mould. (Pic provided by Ozio).
