| Anyone got any useful links regarding Clipper figures? Looking to find out more about them: list of figures, availability, history, anything really.
Thanks in advance. |

| Thanks for the link. Would also be interested in some of the main sculpt differences of the figures too (i.e. how easy is it to spot a loose Clipper figure?). |

I'm not sure there is much difference in the sculpt of Clipper figures. Maybe the mail-away Vader (and I'm not totally sure about that either), but that's about it. In the early days (SW, ESB) Clipper had their own carded figures, but I still think those were just Kenner figures repackaged on Clipper cards. Then when ROTJ rolled around, Clipper just applied their stickers/catalogs to the cards of other licensee's figures (Palitoy, Kenner, Tri-Logo, etc.). I could totally be wrong on this (and hopefully one of the loose variant guys can help shed some light on this), but I think Clipper is mainly a MOC thing.  |

| Ah I see. Yeah, was thinking the figure may have been different sculpts due to the Vader being different and a Logray baggie turning up on the bay.
At least I don't have to worry about tracking down more stuff for my collection (until I start getting more into MOCs anyway...). |
