Bossk
DON’T RELY ON JUST THE COO TO IDENTIFY A FIGURE. Mould, paint colour, plastic colour and figure assembly traits are also needed to confirm your figure’s origins.
Please note the vest colours. As you can see both Poch figures do have a clearly bright white vest. This is important for the harder to detect Poch version 2.
You can also spot the deeper red to the collar on both.
The two HK versions differ mainly in the used plastic and their way to degrade. One variants tends to get more reddish limbs the other one tends to get more lighter limbs. Both can be only found this way nowadays. The green colour used to limbs also differs.
The Poch Version 3 shown here is hard to tell in pictures. Next to his Kenner brothers it’s far more easy to detect: Large pupils and usually wider lips. The green tint to the arms and feet is very unique.
This COO still only exists in the PBP scared out version. Typically the figure has fat lips, very hard limbs (see the details) and overall a very unique colour combo.
This COO still only exists in the PBP scared out version. On this picture you can see both known Coos compared to a Euro No Coo. Please also note the slight different versions on the PBP Bossk itself. Thanks for the picture to my friend Javier Ruilópez.
The figure shown in the middle above is the Poch variant of the Bossk. It is compared to its Kenner COO counterpart (left) and its PBP brother (right). This figure was found 5 or 6 times till today. Thanks to J.C. we could finally confirm him to be a real Poch variant. The green colour on the arms and feet is very freaky. Although there are parts that look more reddish, I personally don’t think this is the result of discoloration. No matter if it’s “real” or discoloured, regarding the carded example it seems to be at least typical for the Poch variant.
Please also note that the black “cross” on the chest seems to be much thinner compared to other produced Bossk figures.
- Shown above is the COO from the Poch variant. As always a Kenner counterpart is existing.
- The two marks on the back seem to be typical for this variant. With the help of Kenneth_B this could be confirmed on four examples by now.
- Shown to the right are some examples that popped up in Spanish auctions. To me with all the evidence given here this one is a confirmed Poch variant.
