Help with Bobba Fett - turquoise backpack

[Geekymonkey]

Hi all,

I have come across this fett - now I am a newbie so apologies if I have missed the blindingly obvious but I have not seen one like this - is it just a HK coo bog standard ? Or a variant of sorts .... It has weird melted bits around the left leg and the rocket pack is really turquoise and not a shade of blue. Help please !!???

Hope the pics are good enough to show what I am asking .....

Thanks in advance.

Looks like a touch up to me

Not a touch up for that I am pretty sure...unless people are spraying them with a very similar mask the paint under UV Is consistent in appearance no 'heavy ' areas

I did find this pic of a variant that is close -

Use your eyes mate the one in the photo has clearly been repainted BADLY

Appreciate the kindly and polite response, yes of course the one above has, in parts been redone - hence the black on the backpack - but the blue / turquoise is very similar to the one in my original post - as for the singular pic it was taken from a respected variant collectors site as a comparison of the backpack blue only - certainly my visual capacity is fine. Your comment was not helpful. But thanks for your time.

Yours looks like a paint over, from what I can see in places there are some chips which reveal the true blue underneath

I dont think its been touched up myself. Ive got all sorts of shades of blue and green - mostly batch differences or colour fades. I'll have a look through mine and see if I have anything close.

Cheers fellas... Any help is appreciated....
The world of variants is a minefield of interesting changes and differences for a new collector holding into his childhood - pic below is me aged 4 ! (Not much has changed except onset of baldness)

No idea about the Fett, but great photo. What's with Vader and Han doing push ups!?

[Geekymonkey]

Ha ha I remember the Vader and Han would never stand up on the little foot stool....

If fact I thing I still have that foot stool as I saved it when my grandparents died...maybe a scene recreation is in order ? It will depend on how pissed I get at the weekend

I just noticed the DSD, CCP AND Mr Numb are all doing the same on the floor, albeit hidden by the retro carpet ...
