Gamorrean Guard Figure, COO reference guide.

[Dublinjeff]

Head sculpts:

There are a few differences between variants. Here is the Macau COO figure alongside one of the H.K COO variants. It is quite noticeable in hand that the H.K COO variant has much more definition in the face sculpt. Both H.K figures I have at present appear to have similar sculpts.

Note: A very common feature with this figure is the appearance of wear to the paintwork on the horns of the figure. The new figure here shows a nice mint example of the yellow paint application

Macau and H.K figures

Two H.K COO variants. Similar, defined Head sculpts:

I will update this as more variants arrive

Thanks for that Wolff, super addition to the thread.... 8)

Must keep a look out for these.

Armour Update:

As previously discussed, there appears to be a few differences between variants. This shot shows three of the colours available. These differences in paint applications appear to occur across all COO variants.

Figures to date:

More updates soon

There is a lot of coo for that figure. So far I have found 17 :lol:

I see the 'CoO' differently.

To me there are 6 variants: Hong Kong, HK (& it's no CoO counterpart), Macau(& it's no CoO counterpart) & Ledy. With limbs made in mould pairs that is 4 possible CoO versions of the Hong Kong variant, 4 X HK, 4 X Macau....

Then paint 'variations' from there. The face detail Rog researched but his pictures died with webshots

'Mould' Hong Kong has EPM (ejector pin marks) on front upper thighs.

Another pig 'oddity'

Yes I have only found them on a Hong Kong coo and I have also only found them with the no. 2 under the foot. I have never seen other no.

PS: Sent you those pic's again...Hopefully should be with you now

H.K figure leg markings:

On closer inspection of the COO markings on the two H.K figures, I noticed a few small differences between the two. The following shot hopefully highlights this.

First up, the Dark brown pants, Darker skin figures markings appear to be a lot more defined. The "C" copyright mark is a good example.
Next up, the LFL stamping on the light green figure has a noticeable gap between the 'L' and 'F' letters.The darker figures stamp is much closer together.

Also, the Dots on the H.K stamp, left leg, are quite a bit smaller in the Darker figure.

Finally, there is a distinctive difference between the two date stamp on each figure. One has the '1980' stamp in a straight line. The Darker figures stamp is staggered, with the '80' part lower than the start, as can be seen here.

It is 4 families btw...AJ is totally right!

H.K.
Hong Kong
Macau
No coo (LL)

but if I remember right there is more then 2 versions on some ...plus the right leg and left leg combinations....

a complicted one, especially since Macau COO has much "use" to it....it can be clear, half gone, even more gone and totally invisible!

Cheers

Excellent stuff, thanks Wolff

Hong Kong figure variant:

Next up, Hong Kong COO figure. Full upwards facing Hong Kong stamp on left leg. Couple of unique differences with this figure, discussed below.

Leg markings:

 

[Dublinjeff]

Ejector pin markings:

As highlighted by aussiejames, One unique feature with the Hong Kong figure is the presence of Ejector pin markings (EPM) on the front, upper legs. These don't appear on other variants.

 

[Dublinjeff]

Paint spray application:

Another feature as discussed earlier in the link provided by Wolff, is the paint spray application to the eyes of the figure. As can be seen here, the Hong Kong figure has Yellow paint application and then Green sprayed eyes.

I will post comparison shots with H.K and Macau COO figures later. I'm not 100% sure if this is a unique feature with Hong Kong figure variants. The Macau COO figure has very similar eyes.?
