[QUOTE="snaggletooth, post: 337225, member: 2231"] Hi Jason, I'd also like to add that these troopers could also be a slightly different plastic that was used because this factory was making paint and plastic variants for all there figures, even with the same COOs. I also wanted to explain why I think there the first produced by this factory. If you Look at the COOs at the bottom of Lars page and you can see the pair of Molds this factory used for these figures. These HK molds where both edited by filling in the HK to remove the COOs and as a result they left these indents on the figures legs, because the filler they used wasn't flush in the mold. No 6 is yours above and No 12 was tho other original edited COOs and then over time the molds got worn out and pieces of the filling broke out resulting in all the other Scar Hoth Troopers out there being produced in different batches(No 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15 etc.). I don't know if this is the very first batch but there is other troopers out there with the same Scar COO but without any discoloration, meaning both where produced before any of the other scars on Lars site where. It makes sense they came before the mint ones out there but they could just as easily be an error in production that slots in between two other good batches of the same COO http://www.pomse2001.dk/Kennertoys%20The%20Empire%20Strikes%20Back.htm [/QUOTE]
