A GUIDE TO VINTAGE STAR WARS FIGURES & ACCESSORIES

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Glasslite Vlix has the same COO (no. 1) as the Poon Reproduction figure which is used below for comparison.
 
The Poon Vlix figure was moulded from an original Vlix figure along with the Glasslite hoth rifle. Whilst they are very easy to spot in hand, from a photograph buyers could easily be deceived as both figures have the same COO markings.

DIFFERENCES: Compared to his Poon counterpart, the Glasslite Vlix has:

  • Shoulders are raised
  • Lighter blue torso/arms and legs

Rifle

The Glasslite Vlix came with a shiny Hoth Trooper Rifle M3 compared to the Poon V3, which I believe was moulded from a Glasslite original.

DIFFERENCES: Compared to his Glasslite counterpart, the Poon Vlix Rifle is:

  • Less shiny
    Missing the two flashing marks on the top of the rifle
  • Shorter in length (due to shinkage?)
  • Visable crack line on the rifle butt
  • Part of the butt is missing (cut off short?)
  • Bent when viewed from above
