[QUOTE="Craig T, post: 514015, member: 9290"] There were three different vendors (factories in the Far East) that made the Luke Jedi MOCs for Kenner. Smile of Hong Kong (Figure COO = “Hong Kong”, Vendor Code = “HN”) Unitoys of Hong Kong (Figure COO = “Made in Hong Kong”, Vendor Code = “HT”) U.M. of Taiwan (Figure COO = “Made in Taiwan”, Vendor Code = “TJ”) Note if you are looking at a MOC, or Kenner cardback for Luke Jedi, you can find the vendor code on the reverse next to the POP seal. Initially ... all three vendors released their Luke Jedi figures on 65-A MOCs with a snap cape neatly folded in a baggie. They only appear on the very first releases of 65-A and so are very hard to find. Second releases of Luke Jedi from each vendor, still contained a snap cape, but it was no-longer supplied in a baggie, it was placed loose inside with Luke. Note each vendor made their own accessories, so there are 3 different snap capes. For the one shown, this is from Smile, the face is painted on a head moulded in hair coloured plastic. The COO is “Hong Kong” The sabre should be blue. Moulded face Luke were only released by Taiwan and then only ever with green sabres. This is probably too much info and without loads of photos. Happy to make a Luke Jedi guide in the Forum if required. [/QUOTE]
