Palitoy-a large & small font comparison of the two exact baggies shown above

Palitoy-c

NON VENDOR SPECIFIC

Soft bag / Heat sealed

Dark Blue or Purple Horizontal text/font

NOTE: This is the only known figure baggie combinations for this specific baggie type.

Palitoy-d

NON VENDOR SPECIFIC

Soft bag / Heat sealed

Different baggie type now allocated as Palitoy-d after discovering that the Palitoy-k baggie (shown at the bottom of the page & is a Gamorrean Guard) was in fact produced through the full life of the toy line rather than just in the SW wars era, so the previously thought to be Palitoy-d (Black sharp edge thin font large letters), is in fact a Palitoy-k.

NOTE: This is the only known figure baggie combinations for this specific baggie type.

Palitoy-e

NON VENDOR SPECIFIC

Soft bag / Tape sealed

NOTE: This is the only known figure baggie combinations for this specific baggie type.

Palitoy-f

NON VENDOR SPECIFIC

Soft bag

This classification is PENDING alteration, this is down the the fact after some open Woolies 8 packs have been found with a similar line up, the Vader’s have proven to be in Euro-b baggies, way back when I got these Woolies packs where the Vader is included I was not aware of a no text version of the clipper mailer, this classification will be altered to another baggie type soon, one which has needed a classification for far to long, I am leaving the image here for the time being until the new type is shown.

Palitoy-g

UNITOY

Crisp bag / Tape sealed

Weequay is also known to exist in Palitoy-g

Palitoy-h

NON VENDOR SPECIFIC

Soft bag / Heat sealed

Palitoy-h (LIKE) but taped & double taped at that (Palitoy-h is heat sealed). However, can not be confirmed as it is double taped, could easily be a factory double tape, but can not be confirmed as such, so regard this one as in question & as a fake till another example can be found.

Palitoy-i

NON VENDOR SPECIFIC

Soft bag / Tape sealed

Small light blue horizontal font soft baggie,. This is the longest of all baggie types being almost twice as long as most examples & is found both tape sealed & open ended, a few examples of it have even surfaced simply knotted to seal it, I would have written the knotted examples off totally as just done after the fact if it were not for a large cache of 8D8’s turning up like it many many years ago, obviously only examples found tape sealed can be 100% confirmed as it’s way to easy to switch the figure out on an open or knotted example, so caution is always advised when looking to buy this type of baggie.

The font is a lighter blue than the Palitoy-a’s & the font is also notably smaller.

Palitoy-j

PALITOY

Soft bag / Tape sealed

Palitoy-k

Kader

Soft bag / Heat sealed

Black straight edge large font, almost always mistaken for SW-f but is clearly not, this is a very soft & thin baggie material & every figure found in this type has the same coo’s as Palitoy figures found on Palitoy MOC’s.

Palitoy-l

UNITOY

Crisp bag / Heat sealed

Palitoy-n

UNITOY

Crisp bag / Tape sealed

Palitoy-o

Kader

Soft bag / Heat sealed

Very similar to the Kenner SW-d (Large font) but different enough to confirm it is not a Kenner issued baggie type.

Palitoy-P

Revised to Palitoy-k. On close examination of many examples it is clear the font type & set / size & length of the font are identical, the baggie material are the same & the top & bottom heat seals are an exact match, so in short the Palitoy-p classification has been permanently removed from the guide/line up of baggie types

Palitoy-p

Crisp bag / Heat sealed

This baggie type had previously been mistaken for Palitoy-n, but on close inspection there are a number of notable differences between the two colours of font, N being more desaturated and the sharpness of the font edges, while the (new) P classification has a more blue-grey colouration.

Palitoy-r

Palitoy-r Now no longer exists & the image has been removed & will be added to the fakes section. No Palitoy-r classification exists now!

Palitoy-u

NON VENDOR SPECIFIC

Soft Bag / Tape sealed

I am pleased to be able to confirm this baggie was not solely found in the Hoth rescue pack & was in fact a baggie I suspect to be an internal baggie, usually intended for opening for carding (speculation), as Laurence found a good size cash of mostly palitoy issued baggies in a loft find from someone who actually got them all back in the day & has had them stored in a loft ever since, a great find which also confirms that Palitoy had some Kenner issued baggies at the time toward the end of the toy line, so hypothetically speaking, some of the woolies 8 packs that have been found with the odd Kenner baggie included in the lineup (sadly all open examples to date) may in fact be correct.

Palitoy-v

NON VENDOR SPECIFIC

Crisp Bag / Heat sealed

Palitoy-v blue/green/grey text thinner font that the N, but same crisp material type & almost the same colour, but heat sealed.
