PostSubject: Help Identifying a bag o' Bib Fortuna   Mon Aug 08, 2011 10:44 am

Hi all I just need a little help identifying a few aspects of this figure...

I purchased a Bib Fortuna baggie on bay and didn't think much of it. When I received the item the baggie didn't look original and has no manufacturer markings on it at all.

See pics....




can anyone confirm this is the case……

Well I quickly put the figure in the collection very disappointed about the bag. A few days later I was sorting the new purchases when I actually looked at the figure and saw that the staff was a kind of dark brown with a hollow inner circle. I checked the breast plate and it looks darker; the cloak appears to have a rough white lining (Hard to see due to the bag); there is a flaw on the bottom of his feet, I can't see his wrist bands from outside the bag.

See pics...





I'm no ledy expert as I only have only just purchased my first two ledy figures a week ago (which I am dying to receive). Is this guy a ledy the research I have done points to yes?

Many Thanks!!!!

If you compare the paint on the end of his fingertips to another bib and there darker then I'd say yes to Ledy

Has the bag got any evidence of any text on it? COO text can rub off over time although I am not sure I can remember seeing a Made in Mexico bagged
Bib.

Will see if I can find a picture of one.

These were the bags I found-

Large Kenner logo - Made in HK


Made in Macau -


Made in Taiwan -


And as far as I know this is the only Made in Mexico style bag thats out there-



If the Ledy experts confirm the figure inside the baggie is 100% Ledy without a shadow of a doubt and its factory sealed then that is pretty cool if a little odd!

Is this like yours?

eBay

UK origin baggies can often be plain or with a basic Made in Hong Kong text that can rub/wear off, the problem there is that if its a UK origin baggie then the chances of it being a Ledy figure are zero.

Are there no Euro/Palitoy variants that look similar to Ledy?

Nice find guys, even if the baggies are home made you got some mint bibs there. Would be interesting to find out where them baggies are from though.

i don't think the baggies are home made

the reason why i say this is the bib baggie i have well the figure looks in mint condition as if it is new
and allso the coat is mint not a mark on it looks new
in other words it has never been out of the baggie
and allso the baggie bib that has been posted looks mint allso

you don't get many ledy bibs in mint condition normaly there is at least 1 minor pait rub or chip on the hands or lips
so to get 2 baggie ledy bibs with no wrighting on the bag and the figures are in mint condition
says to me these are the real deal

Thanks for all the info guys! Its been a very interesting read. I'm guessing I shouldn't take him out of the bag just yet =).

There are no signs of manufacture markings on the baggy at all, and dosen't look like there has been at any stage.

The figure is dead mint, which tells me its been in that bag at least most of his life.

The plastic its made of also looks and feels different to any other baggies I have purchased including one in the listing. Hard to explain but it feels like a heavier thicker plastic, quite dull, and very very slightly opaque, not sure if this is due to age, but it looks like its the way the bag was made.


About the mexico baggies, I have seen a baggie with "Made in Mexico" in black print across the bag. it was a squid head going for $70 bucks. I am still kicking myself today for not buying it.
