STAR WARS CARDED FIGURE VARIATIONS
                    ************************************

                             (revised  6-5-95)
NOTES:
------

1)  This is an attempt to assemble the most complete and accurate list of 
    card variations as they were sold for the U.S. market.

2)  Figures are listed under the name printed on the card.  Variations in 
    the "name" are noted as is each "photo" that has appeared. Further
    callouts include "color" which refers to the bubble and nameplate back-
    ground colors and "packing" is noted on major packaging variations.  The
    name of the included "coin" is at the end of each appropriate listing.  
    The Kenner part number is also listed with each figure.  The consecutive
    numbering scheme corresponds to the numbering system used on the figure
    variation list. Both lists are to be used in conjunction with one another
    and are separated in order to provide a better understanding of the multi- 
    tudes of variations that occur both in product and packaging.

3)  Tri-logo versions are the only foreign cards listed, mainly due to the
    fact that they are so widely available here in the U.S. and in fact were 
    sold in the U.S. towards the end of the toy line.  They also happen 
    to be the only foreign series that has many photo variations to offer.
    Tri-logo ROTJ figures include two carded figures unique to foreign release 
    as well as including many from the eight U.S. series.  None of the Tri-logo
    packages included a coin. The colors of the bubble and nameplate areas 
    on Tri-logo packages is sometimes different from the U.S. counterparts, 
    this variation is not called out like it is with the U.S. cards.  Tri-logo
    cards sometimes note the character's name in french as well as english.  
    this is not a variation either.  Also, many Tri-logo card photos are just 
    an expanded, or  cropped, version of the U.S. photo, instances like this 
    are not variations.

4)  Variations in the weapon (usually the substitution of a laser rifle for 
    a laser pistol or vice versa) is relatively common and difficult to pin 
    down because of the random occurrences.  This is not considered a major
    variation but it does show up from time to time.  

5)  Variations do occur in the way the figure is actually packaged.  For
    example, the figure may or may not have a cardboard plate to stand on,
    or a differently sized bubble may have been used for a time.  Later
    figures were packaged with a form fitted plastic back in the bubble that
    prevented movement within the bubble.  None of the tri-logo figures had
    this plastic back.  Also, the weapon may be either held by the figure or
    taped in the bubble.  These aren't really considered variations, but again
    they must be mentioned.  Some major packing variations are listed though.
    
6)  Photos and offers on the card backs were changed frequently.  The offers
    on the card backs were constantly updated as new figures were added.  The
    photo of the current number of figures was also updated to account for new
    releases.  Likewise, offers for free figures and accessories were present
    on most packages.  Corresponding offers in the form of stickers or
    printing on the front of the card occurred frequently after the second
    series was released.  Cards with these offers shown are not considered
    variations, thus they are not mentioned here.  For a complete listing of
    card backs see the updates in issues of Action Figure Digest magazine.

7)  There have been found, on occasion, figures packaged on the wrong card or
    with the wrong coin.  But this usually cannot be traced to specific figures
    or specific card series.  This type of variation is mostly considered an
    oddball but is quite an amusing thing to discover.  Though it should be 
    noted that the POTF AT-AT Driver and the POTF Nikto, both of which were
    Australian releases, were purposely packaged with Warok coins.

8)  This list is a compilation of work by many people including (but not
    limited to):  Chris Georgoulias, Gus Lopez, Josh Ling, Martin Thurn, 
    Wolfgang Schloegl, George Emmons, and Chip Cataldo.

DROIDS CARTOON SERIES:
**********************
 
NOTES:
------
 
1) Besides the U.S. series, there was a Bi-lingual Canadian series where each 
   card had the same generic photo of R2-D2 and C-3PO running down a hall.  
   This card did not show the character's name. The same photo was used on the
   Brazilian series manufactured by Glasslite.  These packages had a sticker
   showing the character name and did not come with a coin

2) A second planned series never got past the prototype stage.
 
3) Most of the figures were completely new, but there were some used directly
   from the movies. Each figure came with its own gold-toned coin of the 
   character.

EWOKS CARTOON SERIES:
*********************
 

NOTES:
------
 
1) There were no variations in the packaging for the short-lived Ewok series.
   Like the Droids, the second planned series also never got past the 
   prototype stage.

2) Besides the U.S. series, there was also Bi-lingual Canadian series where 
   each card had the same generic photo of Wickett and Kneesaa.  Like the
   Droids, this card did not display the name of the character either.

3) All of the Ewok series figures were completely new and molded to resemble
   their cartoon counterparts.  Each came with its own copper-toned coin of
   the character.
