to many questions at once mate!!!

Hards torso is called so, because the material is different to other use materials. All hard torsos are sharper deatiled. The white hard tosros figures normally look like painted white.
Hard torsos were produced in the later production. Lots of firms produced hard torso figures:
1. LILI LEDY
2. PBP

and lots of TRILOGO and PALITOY figures as well.

I think the europeans used this material, because it doesnt yellow so easy as the normal material...but thats just a theorie. Ledy seemed to use a different chemical material...they seem to yellow more easy.....though.

The Hardtorso figures smell more vinatge...if you know what I mean.

(and BTW: there is also hard limbs figures as well.....these normally go with hard torso figs.....but not every hard torso figures has hard limbs )

hope this helps.

WOlff

BTW: I have a hard torso r2 sensorscope for sale......

I think there you can see very well what a hard torso looks like:

Wolff this Hard torso pic of the R2d2 help'd clear thing's up for me.

Thank's for the info Bro.

Dan.

Hi Guys,

Whilst trying to repair my bi-logo Y wing box,i noticed that it has a black sticker that says Made in Mexico/Fabrique au Mexique on the side!

Does this have anything to do with Lili Ledy? :scratch:

Cheers,

Mark.

Let's see the box.And the sticker.

Hey Mark! Did anyone PM an answer to your question mate? I was going through my boxed stuff back home a couple of weeks back and I noticed my Tri-logo boxed rancor has a similar sticker. I forgot all about it until reading your post just now.

Hi Craig,

No i never got an answer mate,i'm gonna post a photo of my box when my camera decides to work again!

I'm sure i read somewhere that figures that have made in mexico on them but don't have the LL logo on the cardback are classed as LL as well? :scratch:

Cheers Mark!

When I go back home next month I'll do the same - just to see if they are the same.

Later dude.

I think that's correct Mark. There are quite a few Kenner MIM (Made In Mexico) MOC's. I think they are all 65bks. But I think the consensus is that all Kenner MIM MOC's are in fact Ledy.

As for the Y-Wing question... I'm not really sure. I have an Endor Forest Ranger that says Made in Spain, but so far I can't find any evidence that it's a PBP or anything like that.

Hopefully someone can chime in with a better answer!

Thanks for the info Chris!

I'll post a pic of my y wing box soon & hopefully someone can chime in with some more info!

Cheers for replying Chris!

Any Ledy nutters out there who can help out ????

Craig i'm a Ledy maniac what you need?

Dan

Hey Dan!

See above mate! Me and Mark have Tri/Bi-Logo boxes with a small black sticker saying made in Mexico.

We were wandering if these are Lili-Ledy and were fully assembled/packed in Mexico. If any one can explain anything about them that would be great!

i could'nt find any boxes?I looked back through the thread's.

Dan.

Just a point but I think that applies to the figures only. You can buy a MIM figure with a "kenner" weapon. Biker Scout is an example. There are 65 back short mouth biker scouts with both the light grey (Kenner) and Dark "lettered" Grey (LL) weapons.

Thanks for looking Dan!

Pictures speak a thousand words Dan but this time you just have to read the text bud :drunken:

!'ll try & get some pics of this mysterious MIM sticker up tomorrow guys,my camera's been playing up!

I just posted a pic in Latest Vintage Purchases thread of my Jawa loose figure - I'm curious about his blaster, at first it appears to be the V2 solid dark blue with no raised bump. But held up against the light the magazine and end of butt are translucent like the V1 version but the V1 has a raised bump and mine doesn't. Any thoughts? Does the V2 blaster have parts on it that are translucent? Cheers guys

it is the solid blue one for me. All wepaons are a little bit translucent on their thinner parts. The "true" translucent once are translucent all over

Anyway a nice find...I also have two for my Vinyl caped Jawas

Wolff

That one look's Blue Paul.I have the green translucent Jawa blaster with bump and without bump and there transparant all through the blaster.

Dan.

Thanks Dan and Wolff, yes it makes sense now that thinner parts of a weapon would be translucent.
