DIFFERENCES:

• The Lili Ledy Luke Jedi has:
  - black instead of brown eyes and eyebrows
  - glossy instead of matt paint on the face
  - lighter brown (more 'blond') hair
  

NOTE:
The are two COO variations which differ only slightly. The text 'Made in Hong Kong' is shifted a tiny bit towards the bottom in one COO variation compared to the other.

LILI LEDY VARIATIONS:

• The red cape can differ slightly (see pic below). LL’s poor quality control or just fading?
  
  Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight: Slightly different red capes.
  
  
  
• There also exists a green version of the LL cape version.
  

EDIT: A few weeks ago a Luke Jedi with green cape was listed on ebay together with a Madine staff and black palace blaster. No need to tell that these were not the Luke Jedi accessories I was looking for, it looked suspicious. Besides the Mexican seller had zero feedback. You can imagine I heard the alarm bells all over the place.



I decided to contact the seller nevertheless and asked for additional pictures and some background about this particular figure. The guy responded swiftly, and from the pictures it was clear that the black blaster had the Ledy mould, and the green cape seemed to be made from the same fuzzy material as Luke Jedi’s burgundy cape. He told me that this figure was part of his childhood collection and had come came with these accessories (Madine staff + black gun). It would be consistent with Ledy’s sloppy quality control of which there are many examples: think filled peg holes, Boba with removable Rocket, wrongly welded Jawas, etc. You can imagine I got more and more convinced this might be the real deal indeed.

I did a final check with Ozio. He told me that some people remembered that their childhood Luke Jedi came with a 'strange' white lightsaber. I was totally convinced now. I bought the figure and here he is together with his Mexican brother.

Many thanks to the friendly seller and Ozio!!! I am happy having ignored the red alarms this time!

Compared to his Kenner counterpart, the Ledy C-3PO has:

What makes you 100% sure that the C-3PO in the middle is a Ledy one and not a PBP?

HAhahhahhhha....or shall i say: Muhahhahhah!

This is a never ending storry! I also thought I could tell the differences. At this time I had 4 different Ledys and 2 different PBPs. Now I have added one more ledy and one more PBP. Both have reversed look....so...Im very unsure now.....

I would say the one from the pic is more PBP then Ledy...but honestly...by now I have a ledy that looks exact the same!

Marco I love the update on Luke Jedi ... this post rocked.

I didn't know that the LL V3 Blaster has a different "flash" point on the hilt. Technically speaking shouldn't this mean the LL Palace blaster is a V4?

The photo also confirms to some extent your belife that LL Palace Blasters were moulded in Mexcio. Well done mate - even more exicited to get my Dr Denger Surprise

what do you mean with "flash point"???

To me LL is V3. The color is important!

And Marco: NO...there is no brown one known! The brown one belongs to MIHK kenner release

I also have my problem with calling the ledy : "black one". The only black one existing is kenner Lando general and Luke endor! The ledy is more very very dark blue...nearly greyish dark blue!

Check it in daylight compared to a lando general one...you will see: ledy is not black

I say this not because Im picky...I says this because ATST drivers were sold over years with lando general black blaster as original balster...which is totally wrong and many people were duped!

Thanks Michael and Wolff! I learn something new every day here on TIG, one of the things which makes this site so great!!

Honestly I didn't know there was a PBP C-3PO version , which looks very similar to the Ledy version. Would be great to have some side by side pics here.

OK that is good to know, thanks for confirming!

Oh man, Wolff, you are such a picky purist . So let me summarize:

• 'black' LL palace blaster (AT-ST driver) is actually very dark blue
  
• black Kenner palace blaster (Lando General, Luke Endor) is very very black, as black as deep inside Wolff's ar%#% . (and before getting strange questions, no guys, I did not check that, it was just an assumption :-)

Best thing to do in case of doubt is to check the molding of the black gun: V3 = Lili Ledy, V1 ≠ Lili Ledy

Sorry, I have only one LL C-3PO, but I found 2 PBP in Spain with different COOs. One with the dent beside the Hong Kong and one without.
left one is LL and the other two PBPs.



Have a look at toxictoyzz carded PBP C-3PO. Its the same dull gold...as the LL.

Im too lazy for a new pic....but fact is:

Ledy exist with 3 coos:
-3-lined
-2-lined with dent
-2-lined without dent

PBP exists:
- 2-lined with dent
- 2-lined without dent

I have following colors on these:

Ledy:
- silver (3-lined)
- siver (2-lined)
- middle gold (2-lined)
- gold dull (2-lined)
- gold shiny (2-lined)

PBP:
- gold dull (2-lined)
- gold shiny (2-lined)

I also have a silverish one which is PBP...but not sure if he just is rubbed all over

So......what both have in common is:

- screw in back
- sprayed gold in the "crotch" area...(differs from the rest of the gold which is more varnish like!
- exists with dent and without!


IMO its possible that Ledy produced for PBP. Like yoda and many other figures in spain can be exactly the same like Ledy!

But we will never know for sure!


BTW: the 3-lined 3po from ledy I would say its possibly a LL ESB version...like the Luke bespin yellow hair, the R2 no coo and the Leia bespin with very lightbrown hair!

Here is my Ledy 3 line coo C-3po

First class info Michael, Wolff, and Dan!! Thanks a lot!

Do I got it right and does the pic below clarify the distinction between the 2-lined COOs with and w/o dent?

And apparently there is also a shiny gold C-3PO with the 3-lined COO (see Dan's pic)!!!

In toxictoyzz's thread there is a dull gold C-3PO on a PBP removable limbs C-3PO card. Is this a fixed limbs C-3PO? :scratch:

1. yes....thats the dent/no dent difference!

2. it seems so ....so I probably will hunt for a dull gold with 3-line

3. yes this is a fixed limbs! All PBP rem cards have fixed limbs conten

1 OK, thanks

2 Sorry to hear that, you can sell your green caped LL Luke Jedi to me to raise some funds.

3. Great, again learned something. Cool card BTW. Were there also PBP fixed limbs C-3POs w/o screw?
