Never seen this - Han Solo Hoth Yellow face and Dark Brown Legs

[Niilex]

I've been collecting for 20 years and never seen a variant like this.

Anyone able to shed any light? The legs are like a chocolate brown (photos maybe don't show it all that well). Face is definite yellow.

I thought maybe Palitoy, but the yellow face is baffling me...

It's a unitoy Factory figure. Harder to find than the regular unitoy factory figure with tan pants but not especially rare. Likely to fetch £15-£20 in that condition without weapon.

Not to be confused with the Poch choc legs which has the date and Coo on both legs and worth £200.

Thanks for the info - never heard of Unitoy at all. Is that a European variant?? I'm going to go do some research.

It's one of the Asian factories that produced figures for Kenner. They were as follows: Smile (HN), Kader (HG), Unitoy (HT) all based in Hong Kong as well as Taiwan (TW), where the code I've put in brackets appeared on cards from ESB onwards. You will also find Made in China cards which was when Kader moved their factory to China during the ROTJ era and also Macau (ME).

But the figure is definitely not Poch as you have suggested might be the case on your eBay listing

Thanks Jabbawookie - I've updated the listing to make it clear that it's most likely a Unitoy variant and defo not Poch or PBP. Seems I still have lots of learning to do
