Cool, Great, maybe you could post some clear pics to the thread? Always interested in seeing other mould variations etc

No problem mate, I post some picture soon. Have you found some more Red Snaggletooths ?

This thread is awesome, any excuse to dig through my figs and see what's what.

I have a 3 Snags, one is #3 from your reference, although mine has painted cuffs. The other 2 are both #7, came in a childhood collection I bought and feel fortunate to have found the dark skin/ sloppy chops version by pure chance!

Have also added dark and light skin Wallies to my wish list, nice to have new targets for my bargain hunting.

Brilliant work on show, very much looking forward to seeing more!

Cool, make sure the pictures you post are a sensible size and don't distort the page setup. Anything the same size or smaller than the last red snag one you posted will be great.

No, sadly I have not bought anymore red snags. In fact I haven't bought anything in about 6 weeks. I still search in particular for your HK version and COO#6 in deep crimson red amongst also a couple of cuff versions. No rush

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy it. This thread is exactly for the purpose you have stated above. Its for people interested in variants to check what they have/haven't got, and to see whats out there to go and collect if they wish.

Hopefully I can work up the motivation to document another character shortly

No problem mate I will make good pictures, sorry to hear you have not found the snaggletooth. I have also not found any snaggletooth that I am missing

Leia Hoth COO guide...

The 1 line NO COO figure, seen last in the below guide is regarded as the Meccano variant. The boots on this figure are a deep olive green colour as opposed to the more regular faun tan colour.

...

The 3 line HK COO figures can come in at least three distinct hair colours, Brown, Red and Black. To me it is quite obvious when you are looking at a red hair Leia because the redness really does show up. I've seen many people label the light brown hair Leia as red hair, but it isn't the same to me.
Though I'm not 100% sure, I think the red hair Leia generally has a yellower tone to the hip paint application than the brown haired Leia.
...

There are a couple of spanish origin figures. One of which, confirmed/documented by Wolff and not seen here is the 3 line HK COO figure with green eyebrows. The other figure, introduced by Kenneth is the 4 line HK COO with tan face, paler hip details, and greenish tinged boots. You can read about these variants elsewhere in Poch/PBP discussions.

One of my favourite figures is my pale/white face Leia, It is so striking. The head plastic is very white, but with regular painted detailing, apart from the lipstick, which instead of being pink, is in fact a pale orange colour. The first picture below is a photo of it next to its kenner COO sister, the second photo to compare the COO's, the third a close up of the head details, and lastly a comparision shot between the regular flesh face, the tan face, and the white face figures.
...

Updated picture of favourite eight variants;

killer collection well described

Dengar guide

First up, The Kenner produced Dengar Coo's...
Clockwise, Starting top right...
4 line MIHK, 1 line No Coo, 2 line HK & 3 line MIHK

Left to right...
3 line MIHK 'Mustard face', 4 line MIHK 'Flesh face', 1 line No Coo 'Flesh face' & 2 line HK 'Lemon face'

The 'Mustard face' figure can often be found in a kind of chocolatey coloured armour, as opposed to the more common purple.

Next, The PBP/Euro produced Dengar coo's...

L1 has the 1980 L.F.L set away from the © copyright symbol, whilst L2 has the 1980 L.F.L. set immediately adjacent to the © copyright symbol. You can see that L1 is slightly more left aligned, whilst L2 is slightly more right aligned compared to the copyright symbol.

On the right are the four main Euro right leg Coo's, Although almost every single right leg can be found with an an example of a worn mould where the lettering will appear far more faded or smudged even. For example, The 'MADE IN _____ON' figure can be found with the 'M' mostly missing, While the 'MADE IN _____' figure can be found with both the 'M' & the 'A' missing. This is merely due to a degrading mould producing a less pronounced stamp.
See below...

With there being 2 different left legs, and 4 different right legs, There can be found 8 different Coo stamped PBP/Euro Dengar figures, More if you include the figures with coo's stemming from the worn moulds!

Here are the four main right leg Coo variants...
Left to right,
'MADE IN _____ON', 'MADE IN _______', 'I _______' & '_________' (aka Blank)

Face colour comparison...
Clockwise beginning at the top,
Flesh face, Lemon face, Pale face & Mustard face

Group shot of 8 variants...
Left to right,
3 line MIHK 'Mustard face', 4 line MIHK 'Flesh face', 1 line No Coo 'Flesh face', 2 line HK 'Lemon face', 'MADE IN _____ON', 'MADE IN _______', 'I _______' & '_________' (aka Blank)

Cheers Lars.

One of my NY resolutions was to pay this thread more time, So I'm chuffed that in the first week of 2016 i have managed to update Red snaggletooth, and add both Dengar and Boba Fett guides to the thread, Albeit work in progress.

hopefully more to follow throughout the whole year, though on a slightly lesser pace
