For those looking, this one is real:-

Hi, Jason. I have just had a look at this C-3PO and I know it has different and yellowed bubble, sticker price... but it seems to have the pink dot underneath the 'm"...

I don't think the red dot is an absolute tell. In this case the sticker, bubble condition and clear plastic bag on chewbaccas black sack are indicators it is genuine shop sold. I've also seen a pic of one in Toni's cabinet a snoopers paradise that had no red dot and what looks like a repro bubble. So there are a few exceptions to the red dot=toni rule.

Cheers Jason

Here's two pictures from my archive of genuine Palitoy ROTJ 3POs.

are any palitoy mocs with logo to the front tonis or did he just bypass them alltogether ??

All logoed palitoys up to 45a were made and assembled in Hong Kong so toni couldn't get his mitts on the unused cards.

Has anyone noticed this 45 back Boba and whether it is a Toni? Ebay Item no. 141379740367

It seems to have a deep bubble and shorter distance between the stems?

Looks like a Toni to me.

Guys,

Just been sorting through a stack of cardbacks tonight and came across this C3PO. Its a 45 back and shop bought (Tescos pricetag) and it had a DS bubble, as can be seen by the tearing. Ive gone over this a few times and it looks to me as though the registration error / print allignment on the card is also off on this.

Thought it may help :)

Are any genuine carded figures found with the 'ʌ' between the stems on the bubble?

Or are these all fakes? And a sign an iron was used?

Thanks

^ = iron = toni

What do you mean 'ʌ' ?, I had never seen this.
What does mean into Toni bubbles and Cards?.

Hi,

Quick question on the TT list, is the list on page 1 of this thread still the most up to date list of suspect MOC combinations?

Thanks
