[QUOTE="Dannywhiteley, post: 492869, member: 6547"] As someone mentioned above, the fact that some limbs, paint apps or capes change colour when others don't means there must be some variation in the materials used. However considering some of these figures were produced continuously for 8 or so years means it's very likely that supplies, materials or plastic mixes changed several times over that period (tied to the last fact they were coming out of several different factories across SE Asia). Personally I think the rise in costs of most vintage SW has led to collectors seeking out niches, one of those being COO varients. At least initially you could buy a loose lot of figures and no attention was being paid to what the COO was by the seller. That's obviously changing now, but was a good way to build a diverse collection on relatively little money. I remember buying loose lots for hidden Trilogo Fetts and hollow cheeks Tusken BITD. That's obviously far less likely these days, but 'hidden' COO varients can still slip by relatively unnoticed. Adds a challenge that admittedly not everyone gets (myself included). [/QUOTE]
