Bespin Security Guard (White):

The White Bread Bin Security Guard, eh Lars? OK then, but firstly congratulations on actually finding the correct picture of the WBSG, i.e. the one with the moustache! It's certainly more than Kenner ever did :lol:

What can I say about the White Bespin Guard? Well, quite a lot actually, so let me rephrase that. What can I say about the White Bespin Guard that anyone might vaguely be interested in reading about?.... Assuming you still are of course and haven't skipped straight to the pics, in which case Zeppelin, photocopier, cabbage :-D. And for the benefit of those few grudgingly still reading this against their better judgement? The answer is moustaches! Yes, there are skin and cuff colour variants too, and even blue plastic shade variants, but considering the cardback never bothered showing us anything other than a full bearded WBSG, there's one hell of a lot of moustache style variants to be found on the white Bespin Guard!

Years ago, I naively thought there were just 2 variants; the droopy (aka Fu Manchu) and straight moustache versions, but then I bothered using my eyes and found a veritable barbershop of facial hair festooning vintage Star Wars collections worldwide! There's bound to be more than just those eleven shown below, but they're not a bad start ;-)

Thanks mate, yes I think I found the correct picture for the figure :lol: I have also never seen a white bespin guard with a huge beard :lol:

Lovely army of variants and thanks also for the great info about beard :D
 
Here's mine. It's much harder to get a minty WBG than BBG as the gold trim is even more prone to rubbing off. I'm always on the look out for a slight upgrade at a reasonable price. I also have a battered Poch WBG that I will try and photograph.

That's a lovely example, Jay. Thanks for sharing :)
