Tri logo 8D8

Why do some have cardboard between the legs and some not? Which one is worth more?

I thought they stopped that on ESB.

Not the footer...I mean the same cardboard that the bagged one had. :lol:

I'm sure our 8D8 expert will chime in, but I know from my limited experience, the cardboard version is definitely not as common. The baggie figures, I believe, all have the cardboard, so I'd say it was just a matter of some factory workers being lazy and not removing it.

The only Trilogo 8D8 I know with cardboard between his legs is the spanish PBP 65back hybrid.
Possibly the spanish GMJ has it also, but I have never seen a carded one. I did not even find a picture o it in the web. Must be incredible rare.

there is a picture of it in the link in my post. I thought maybe it was fake. I can not translate the website.

This nice one Frank picked up recently doesn't have the card bored, as well as the laziness of the employes packing the cards could it also be dependent where Palitoy received some of the figures from?

Never mind about that then if none of the Palitoys have the card board

I thought the bagged one always had the cardboard. Now I am confused.

That one is certainly an exception being a Macau baggie. The typical Kenner ones usually have the cardboard and I'd be more curious about the Palitoy baggie version.

What??? Some knob has an 8D8 focus??? What is wrong with him? Joking Joe

Im pretty sure the carded version was quite rare,and the baggie is easier to find.

i would also like to know why EV9D9 didnt get the same treatment.As a good man once said

"there aint no swimming with bow legged.....DROIDS"

Yay a question I can answer! :lol:

As for Trilogos, the cardboard insert was included on the Spanish releases only, the PBP Hybrid 65 back and the later GMJ full Trilogo card - There is no picture out there of a GMJ but I am 100% convinced it came with the insert as that is how two people I know who have actually seen one recall it.

Baggies- Palitoy + Kenner bags both have inserts, the Macau does not.

The reason for the cardboard in the Spanish Trilogos: The figures were sent bagged and were debagged to be packaged onto cards, it's just a case of the factory workers thinking the cardboard insert was to be included on the card instead of just the figure (the cardboard inserts design was actually to hold the figures legs in place during shipping so it looked perfect by the time it was packaged)

Hope that helps :mrgreen: - The 8D8 Knob :lol:

Thanks to all for the information and translation.

None. The only packaged 8D8 with any mention of Macau is the Macau baggie, of course unfortunately 8D8 lacks a COO on the figure so the packaging COO is no indication of where it was actually made

I did try to look at various releases for subtle differences, all I can really make out is that European releases seem to have slightly darker brown paint apps compared to US releases but the difference is so slight it really isn't worth getting excited over!
