the aim of this visual guide is to try and create a definitive list of carbacks and their variations as most if not all previous guides are usually incomplete some are totally new and are not found in the kellerman book so any new designations here follow on from his work. new and unique items appear all the time so this is always going to be a work in progress, if you have any that you think should be included please let me know the aim is to include all the kenner offers, any other non kenner offers will be put in a thread of their own.

12 A the card is offerless and has the price tag box in the top left of the card, the very early 12 a's had an sku code on the footer as can be seen in this example but most 12 a's didnt have this after the initial run.

the back shows the telescopic lightsabre with a very short end and has the action figure stand offer for the cost of two proof of purchse seals from the cards backs and $2

12 B the front of the b back is exactly the same as the 12 a, the back however has slight differences as can be seen on the tip of the sabre as its slightly longer and the offer has changed with it now stating that it can be purchased for 2 proofs of purchase and $2 or received free with 12 proofs of purchase

12 C the front again is exactly the same as the 12 a and b but again the cardback itself is different from both as the instructions have now changed for the telescoping sabre although the offer for the display stand is the same as the 12 b.

12 D the front is the same as the 12 a, b and c but the back has a sticker showing photos of another 20 figures over the display stand offer in essence making it a 32 back, this has been found over a, b, and c backs but is most common on a and b backs.

20 A the 20 back a front is the same as the 12 a, b,c and d but the back now shows eight new figures above photos of the original twelve, the playsets shown on the back are droid factory, creature cantina, dewback, land of the jawas and a collectors figure case. it should be noted that the land of the jawas and the creature cantina are the prototypes and not he production playsets.

20 B the front of the 20 b had only two minor changes which are the removal of the price tag box in the top left corner and the long play logo next to the kenner logo on the bottom of the card as can be seen here.

the back of the card is exactly the same as the 20 a exept the land of the jawas and the creature cantina playsets shown are now the production models and not the prototypes and have slightly different descriptions.

20 C front is the same as the 20 b exept for the starburst for the free rocket firing boba fett offer which is printed on the card.

the back has photos of the 20 figures at the bottom with the boba fett offer details on the top of the card which also shows a picture of the rocket firing figure.

20 D front and back is the same as the 20 c but the picture of the rocket firing fett has a black sticker over it as the figure never went into production.

20 E front and back are the same as the 20 c but the black sticker has now been replaced by a yellow and black sticker with rounded corners giving details of the new figure.

on this little known 20 e example there is a coin offer sticker which was only run much later in the rotj line, this was probably old stock and the sticker was probably applied much later but this makes it very rare and unique amoung 20 backs, however as its cardback is not unique to any other 20 back it is still essentially a 20 e and therefore will not receive its own designation.

20 F front is the same as the 20 c but the back has the black sticker with the round offer extention sticker added.

20 G front and back are the same as the 20 c but the sticker on the back has now been replaced with the same but with square corners ( can also be found with rounded corners )and a round offer extended sticker has been added.

20 H front is the same as the 20 c but the back has the yellow and black sticker and a round offer extention sticker with the addition of a rectangular sticker extending the offer for longer over the top.
AWAITING PICTURE



20 I front and back are the same as the 20 c but the sticker on the back has now been replaced for a black sticker with a rectangular sticker extending the offer.

20 J front and back the are the same as the 20 c but the sticker on the back has now been replaced with a yellow and black sticker with square corners and the small rectangular sticker exending the offer.

20 K front has a yellow starburst sticker with a deep round border covering the fett offer on the front but is otherwise the same as the 20 c.
picture courtesy of calevans

the back of the card now has a sticker covering the boba fett offer totally but still shows the cantina and land of the jawas playsets. the sticker has also been found across the bottom and in one case two of the same sticker on the top and bottom of the card ( k1 ).

picture courtesy of calevans

20 L front is the same as the 20 k the back has the secret figure offer sticker over the fett offers and extention stickers, what makes this an L is that there is an extention sticker over the top of the secret figure offer sticker, this is the only know example of this cardback.
pictures courtesy of calevans

20 M i have given this cardback a designation of its own as it is unique in the fact that while it has the same front as the 20 c it has a rectangular offer extention sticker applied which was not used until later runs. once again this is the only known example of this variation and is from a jawa.
picture courtesy of calevans.

20 N  i have given this cardback a designation of its own as it is unique in the fact that while it has the same front as the 20 c and the back of a 20 g the round offer sticker is larger in comparison, two known examples of this back are known to exist the main picture is from a leia organa and the comparison picture shows a standard g alongside a large bubble han with the same larger sticker.

The cuts on both toltoys and the standard VC's are the same.

The Toltoys cape is a tad lighter/richer than the Ben cape plus the Toltoys cape has more of a shine on the outside than the Ben's. The Ben cape also has a slight texture inside which makes a zipping noise?
