Hi Lars. The card is Smile and both the figure and blaster are Smile too. There are not many visible differences between the Smile and Uni Toys TFP moulds but one way of spotting is the coo. The MADE IN HONG KONG disappears in his butt cheek on the Smile version but starts lower down on UT. The Smile blaster is the v2 on TIG without epm.

While I can't say for definite and it's always harder for me with Palitoy I'd be surprised if this card back and figure went together. Current thinking is that Kader moved production to China during the ROTJ era and the earliest you see China figures and cards are on 65 backs I believe. Additionally generally the blank raised bar is found on Palitoy cards though of course it may well be possible for the China to be found also. What I can say is that the blaster associated with this figure is the bottom one which is a v3 off of TIG. The top is a v1 found on Smile card backs.

That is very interesting, I will upload the other figure and the cardback for the rebel blaster maybe that can help more

Here are the other cardback that was sold with a rebel blaster Tri-logo Han Solo in trench coat

Ben Kenobi Trilogo 70b I think!? All parts on this one are from my childhood so can assure you that these are a match.

Awesome, what a beauty from your childhood, thanks for sharing it :wink:

Here are some Palitoy 12 backs that I had from a childhood collection I bought years ago. Some of these figures are now in other peoples collections (you know who you are if you're on here!), and I documented their card backs and COO's so that I had a record of what was sent to us in the UK back in 1978.

I have a few others still to picture but this works as a pretty good record for now.

Ben (Obi Wan Kenobi) Palitoy 12A

See-Threepio (C-3PO) Palitoy 12A

Princess Liea Organa Palitoy 12A

Chewbacca Palitoy 12A

Han Solo Palitoy 12A (I'm not 100% sure if this blaster came with this figure as it was loose with the lot of childhood figures I had and there was a LXW in there which it could be from).

Death Squad Commander Palitoy 12B

Luke Skywalker Palitoy 12A

Sand People Palitoy 12A

Darth Vader Palitoy 12A

Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) Palitoy 12A

Power Droid Palitoy 20 (sorry I didn't picture the COO).

Excellent additions, Ian!

Thanks Ian for sharing all this amazing pictures, it is a lot of great info 8)

Thanks guys, I thought these might be helpful and it was something i was going to post up at some point and this looked like the right thread to put them in so well done for getting this going Lars

Great set Ian. Will prove useful in trying to categorise the first 12 which are really hard.

Can I double check with you that in the childhood lot there was only 1 example of Luke, Ben and Vader and that there were no other iterations of Leia (Bespin or Hoth) so that we can conclude that these weapons came with that figure and cardback?

Only the blaster that came with Han Solo is most probably incorrect as it didn't appear until ESB. But this is easily explained as there are so many figures that carry the rebel blaster across the line so he was bound to have a few rebel blasters in his childhood collection.
