Hi guys,

I am looking for some help trying to identify the correct face paint for a Top Toys Luke Jedi. I now have two (when it rains it pours for me) and I want to sell my spare, but I suspect one has been touched up on the face. Check out the photo below:



Does anyone have any close-ups of a carded example or even a loose one from a good source? Thanks in advance for the help!

Sergio should be able to help you! The lucky bugger just nailed a nice one!



here the link to the thread:

the one on the right looks definatley overpainted!

Sergio has a moc...its unplayed...that wont help much


normally TT Lukes have red eyes! I have one played with...Ill check!


IMPORTANT:

Yoda as Luke always have a mixture of colors in face! They have thin layers of colors on top...these can be washed of with only water! SO BE VERY CAREFULL!!!

I NEARLY DESTROYED MY YODAs FACE!!!!!!

Unplayed ones cannot look like played ones because of that reason!


Wolff

Ill checked!

Left one:

WOW...nearly mint face...I have only minimal rests of that ornage layer!


Right one:

nothing matches here! Its clearly overpainted!

What accessories do your double have! I might be still interested! LET ME KNOW!!!

Wow Wolff I didn't know that thanks for sharing. Are all TT figures painted with water based paint or just Luke and Vader?

Thanks, Wolff and Craig! The one on the left came from a guy from Argentina that was at CV. I was very lucky on this one! It was also helpful finding this other legit example to confirm previous capes were also legit.

Catch you over on email, Wolff.. : )

Its yoda...not vader

and its not really waterbased...its more really easy to rub off....veeery thin and extremly sensitive paint...LOL!!

My Yoda was just dirty...but cleaning him seems to be impossible...I tryed everything!

Where the feck did I get vader from :scratch: lol!

Thanks for correcting me !

My TT Yoda is the same, looks dirty:




I think AFA did an amazing job on the case since the belt is broken.

Chris that Yoda is fantastic bro!!!!

Thanks, Jay! I will be sure to post a photo of the full TT set the next time I break out the real camera (that photo was from my iphone).
