Imo only the figure on the right is the true PBP version of Han Hoth. It has a pale blue plastic color for the body btw.



Uli

I am completly agree with you Uli , i think that the pale colour is genuine to PBP figures(you can find it also on Luke hoth, Rebel soldier dark brown CCP etc), also you can find some kind of pale colours in others Kenner figures but they are more yellowish or pinkish...

Hello folks - thought I'd have a browse and found this thread

The Palitoy/Clipper PBP Han Hoth figs have two different face paint jobs bright pink and pinky-pale. Thet are normally both packaged with the stormtrooper blasters and have a deep scarred COO. I was told that they were packaged in Spain hence PBP. They seem to be a general European release

Although nowhere near as rare as the proper POCH figure they are harder to find than the regular Hans, and I assumed just another PBP issue

Just to add to the thread here's a photo of the MIHK leg colours (minus the POCH fig) - generally the later HK figs have the long thumbs, mentioned earlier (41 back onwards off the top of my head)



There are two scarf sculpts too, one sculpt has a deep groove behind the Han's head

and just to show that regular Han's can come with stormtrooper blasters here's an error 48 back



a lot of the 47 backs are packaged with Bespin blasters, which seemed a deliberate factory thing - it also explains why so many people think Han Hoth should come with a Bespin blaster



and a miscard to finish - and sorry for boring you with all this Han Hothness

Great info and pics spoons. Here's a pic of a couple of my 'made in' coo pink face Han's...

Interesting to note is that they have slightly different leg colours plus the coo's are
slightly different as well; there is a large scar/gouge on the pink face coo whereas
the pale pink face coo is smooth underneath 'made in' Anyone else's like this?

The pink face also has that lovely sweet pbp smell whereas the pale pink does not!

so, spoons, are you saying palitoy for the pink face and clipper/pbp for the pale pink?

Hi Lee - your pale pink face one is interesting

I've a loose pink and a loose pink-pale face and both have a proper scar. The leg coulours are slightly different. There is a no COO pale face but your one does look like the pink-pale/PBP version

I've yet to find a proper pink pbp carded but the pink-pale faced ones can be found on the Palitoy 45 or 65 backs, with and without a clipper sticker. There are still more regular palitoy 45 and 65 backs out there so I'd assumed that the figs were PBP overstock sent to the UK, but I could be well off the mark

here's a pic of the paint difference between my two (the one on the left is just an oddity). When I'm unpacked I'll have another look at the COOs



and a pic of the neck groove I mentioned earlier

A few 'sculpt' differences are : scarf, belt buckle, pouch detail (next to buckle), emblem ... any more??


Thanks for pointing me in the right direction James, Yours has a grey scarf to.

Hi spoons, is this the same figure that's on that Tri-Logo in your opinion. just to add also, this fig has a scared COO. Also I think the Tri-logo is the PBP version so more to support the theories of him being made by PBP.

Thats what you think, so the white was aplied so thin it looks grey? same with the chest emblem?

I didn't mean to right that Like I didn't agree, it's just I have a few in my collection and that's never entered my thoughts.

Do you think this applies to all Han hoths with grey scarfs or are there both?

Hi Snag, that tri-logo fig and most I've seen are regular Han Hoths (probably no COOs).

The pink face one in your pic is mostly found on Palitoy 45 or 65 backs. As to the grey scarves, the one in your pic I'd say is thin paint on blue as James says. But there is a definite grey painted one too

The brown legged Hans have grey scarves

Hi Spoons, Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I've had another sort through my han hoths and realize now that the grey is grey on a few of them.

One more question if you don't mind Spoons, I've read through this thread and understand this figure comes on different cards with different faces. In your opinion now do you this they are the same discoloured figure or not?

No problem Snag and hello Wolff - I would be interested in the poch Han Hoth but maybe not the price

Snag, the two pink faced Hans two different verisons IMO. The pale face seems more common carded but other than that I'm not sure of their background

I've been going through my Han's again and have a couple of things that may be of interest, I'm not sure on the MIHK fig now looking at the pic but the HK COO's, large and small both have grey scarves versions, as does the small detail No COO. I Also have a MIHK without a date stamp(the pictures a bit crap) Has anyone else got any other COO's with Grey scarves or the same COO as in the picture?


The first 2 are MIHK, the 3rd is MIHK without a date stamp, 4th is my above fig. 5th and 6th are Small detail No COO
The bottom first 3 figs are HK large detail(3rd the same as spoons above), 4th is Large detail No COO, 5th and 6th are HK Small detail

I got another one through the other day which I think is quite interesting.

I've coppied this from yeah-sus lime lite and posted it in here as I'm confused again and wondered if anyone can clear this up.

I've added some questions at the bottom and would appreciate it if a few of the long time variant guys could copy them and give there opinions to each one.

Steve the chocolate (dark legs) Han Hoth your referring to is the POCH variant and I think this was only found on POCH cards, some one please correct me if I'm wrong.

Might be wrong so correct me if I am... but I thought the chocolate (dark legs) Han Hoth is the only "exclusive" PBP Hoth Han? At least this what I thought I read from the PBP thread talked about, agreed on between Wolff and JaviSpain.
-Steve

The pale face han Hoth is not exclusive to PBP? That seems to be the case indeed, thx for letting me know.

That would also explain why he ended up in Sweden sometimes on a non PBP card.

Sorry for hijacking your limelight thread, Yeah sus!. I will stop now.

Here's two pale pink face PBP Han Hoths on Pal 45 backs - complete with PBP stormie guns. The first also has a Clipper catalogue on the back, so you might want to include that as a Clipper rather than Palitoy

Is there 2 versions of this figure, the pale pink face and a pale face or is it one discolored figure?

Are both of these figures found on PBP cards or is it just the pale face version?

Are both of these figures found on Palitoy cards or is it just the Pale Pink face version?

Some of the ones I got.
