Hmm, I had usually a 12hr turn around with responses from this guy due to time difference. Maybe I'll give it a go if he dosen't respond in a couple of days.

Very nice baggie it is definately exactly the same, yours is in way nice condition than mine as it has a couple of tiny puncture marks. I'll post some full images of mine a little later today.

ok all i have had a reply of the seller on ebay where these 2 ledy bib baggies came from

this is my message to him....

Dear starwars1977-1985,

hello there can you please help ?

ok i showed the bib baggie off to my friends on the tig star wars forum
and it is a lili ledy bib fortuna varient after some investigation someone else on the star wars tig forum allso bought a lili ledy bib baggie off you as well he lives in austraila

anyway as it turns out these 2 lili ledy bib fortuna baggies are the only 2 know in the world there are lots of kenner bib fortuna baggies but not lili ledy baggies with lili ledy bib fortuna in them sealed
so we are trying to trace where they originaly came from as they are very inportant to star wars figure history
so if you could please help by letting us know where these came from it would be awesome
thanks for your time all the best jase


and this was his reply to me Sad Crying or Very sad

Dear jason11272stacey,

Hi Jase
Sorry for delay. Hell he might be worth hundreds then !!
I thought him to be a mailaway figure for collecting 5 pops etc..
I can't help where he came from I handle a lot of figures and don't keep records.
I will keep an eye for another for you though :-)
Dave

Sounds like he needs a SW figure database lol!

Anyway bad jokes aside, we may never know then of the bag o' bib fortuna's origins Sad

I'm sure something will crop up on ebay or something eventually.

Now I could be clutching to straws here, and this is a big call.

I have a Zuckuss baggie which I also believe to be LL. The plastic type feels somewhat similar. The bib one is more thicker though, they have about the same shine to the baggy too.

Nah that's a China baggie Zuckuss tongue Silver belly instead of grey, often confused as LL due to knee & heel circles.

EDIT: same goes for the China baggie Luke Bespin that looks LL ( I'm still a bit confused with it )

hey lads got some info looks like i might have found out what these bib baggies are Very Happy
here is a quote from a mexican friend of mine ..Andres Garcia

Andres Garcia........ I know for sure, that many SW ledys figures were stapled to the cards, inside plastic baggies instead of being sealed to the cards. This figures were donated to public institutions like DIF (familiy development) or IMSS (social security) to be spread among children , I have never seen this and I never had one on my hands to know how the baggie looks like, but is a fact that they existed.

Nice, absolutely amazing that you came up with that, the fact they existed is even better news. I must have missed this latest reply till now!

I just took a gamble on this Logray cos it looked a little like the bag o' bib. When I received the bag and compared to the Bib it is an exact match, you can't tell from the photo but there is a LL on the inside of his staff, it took a while before I could get it in a position where I could see. Anyway here are some pic's. I don't want to damage the bag or the figure trying to move hood and bag. In my noobish wisdom this is LL. The figure is minty as and like the Bib he looks like he has been that way all his life, the only defect I can see is the tacky paint has smudged/stuck on the bag a little.

The made in Mexico Logray baggie was also 'available' as a Young Jedi Knight sample mailer. (but had made in Mexico text)
