[QUOTE="plantainman, post: 441948, member: 4401"] [U][B][SIZE=5]Admiral Ackbar Variants[/SIZE][/B][/U] • We'll be ignoring the Kenner & Ledy HK Coo Variants for they are much of a muchness (The LL Ackbar carries the HK Coo and unlike most other Ledy produced variants, is very very close in look & style to the Kenner version). • We will be concentrating on the two No Coo figures, Euro [smooth scar] & Meccano [rough scar], As well as the Taiwan colour variants. That said, Here's the guide..... Coo guide... [I]Left to right, Euro [smooth scar], Meccano [rough scar] & Taiwan[/I] [ATTACH type="full" alt="SAM_ack_1.jpg"]165491[/ATTACH] From the front it is very difficult to distinguish between the two No Coo figures (and also the regular HK figure for that matter) as they look very similar..... No Coo figures... [I]Left to right, Euro [smooth scar] & Meccano [rough scar][/I] [ATTACH type="full" alt="SAM_ack_2.JPG"]173466[/ATTACH] As well as a different scar, there are minor differences too, like for example see below, the injection point upon the heads from moulding... No Coo figures mould injection point differences... [I]Left to right, Euro [smooth scar] & Meccano [rough scar][/I] [ATTACH type="full" alt="SAM_ack_3.JPG"]173467[/ATTACH] it is so so difficult to photograph these figures No Coo markings clearly, But suffice to say when you have both in hand, the different erased Coos are very obviously different. The Euro figure has a more 'raised' 'smooth' deleted coo, Like other Euro figures like Lando and 4-lom for example. The Meccano figure has a 'shallower' 'scratchy' 'rough' deleted coo, which is more obviously a 'scar', or a depression if you will. The Euro figure is relatively common, About 9/10 No Coo Ackbars found would be the Euro variant, With the Meccano Ackbar a much more difficult variant to track down. No Coo figures scar coo & side by side... [I]Left Euro [smooth scar] & Right Meccano [rough scar][/I] [ATTACH type="full" alt="SAM_ack_4.jpg"]173468[/ATTACH] Although very different figures in their Coo marking, The No Coo Ackbars look is very similar to each other, which would be somewhat boring if all the Ackbars produced were the same, However, There came the Taiwan Ackbars........ The Taiwan Ackbars may carry near enough the same coo to each other, but there was a much broader colour palette used when decorating these guys! Colour tones can vary dramatically, But I would identify the main 6 tones as Vanilla, Peach, Avocado, Dark Olive, Light Olive & Grey... Of these, the Grey is probably the hardest to track down, whilst the three most common would be the two olive tones and the Vanilla. Taiwan Coo figures... [I]Left to right, Vanilla, Peach, Avocado, Dark Olive, Light Olive & Grey[/I] [ATTACH type="full" alt="SAM_ack_5.JPG"]173469[/ATTACH] So here are the eight Admiral Ackbar variants we've covered....
