We’re proud to announce a massive update to the VV Cardback section with the addition of the Palitoy Guide, compliments of the one and only Jason Smith.
This new addition includes the Palitoy, General Mills and Clipper Cardback matrices, Palitoy Trilogos, Kenner/Palitoy Sticker combos, as well as a handy Toy Toni cardback reference.

At last, here we go with not just a single last 17 character, but ALL last 17 characters! Added are both COO and Figure Focus guides for you all to check out.
No longer does the POTF line need to be the expensive, and unloved bane of variant collectors. It turns out there are quite a few plastic and paint variations which weren’t commonly known. The upside is this line has become so expensive, no sane person would have more than one of each, right??

Quite a bit more has been revealed about the wee little Jawa since the first guide I made back in April of 2020. We have a new mould family to unpick and it’s always nice to see the older guides updated in the new style.
This is the figure for the most bat-shit crazy variant collector. Much more than just the widely known vinyl & cloth capes, you’ve got mould variations, mixed-up factory parts, rare Australian, Spanish & Mexican versions, outrageous stitch colours and crazy alien eyes!

It’s my pleasure to bring you the figure guide of one of the best figures in the entire Kenner line-up. Luke Jedi Knight!
Many of the licensees produced a version of this figure, so there’s no shortage of variants. We discuss snap capes, accessory pairing, fabric discoloration, film-related accessory alterations, and yes, Taiwan re-tooling. There’s also a COO sheet update now including all the cavities in the Taiwan family.

To the old-school RS/TIG variant guys: Some of you aren’t around so much anymore, but your work got this movement going and we’re truly grateful. Thanks x
