NO FONT VERSION (See image below) As far as I am aware this baggie type was only used for Chewbacca & only in “some” of the early bird sets
Jawa SW-a specific information: From what we know this baggie was specific to just the Palitoy issue Land of the Jawa’s play set & is a very very tough baggie to find, in fact the hardest of all the Jawa baggies to lock down. I’ve never managed to find a sealed example to add to the collection. This fact makes me always question the Canadian issued Special Offer Sandcrawler as at lest 2 examples have surfaced with 2 Jawa’s in SW-a baggies. The Canadian collectors are 100% convinced that it was only ever issued with GDE 20 back MOC’s & the baggies are substitutes, but with the insane rarity of the Jawa in SW-a (likely just as hard to find as a GDE 2 back) it makes me question if indeed GDE at some point had order shortfalls & they could have been issued with the set? I guess we will never know for sure and it’s a subject of divided opinion. PHOTO COURTESY OF Andy Clarke.

Only four known figures ever came in this baggie type those being Walrus Man, Greedo / Walrus Man & Snaggletooth being the horizontal text and Hammerhead with the vertical text, making it a bit of an oddity with the varying direction of the font layout.
NOTE – One example of a Walrus man with vertical text has been documented, but it is normally only Hammerhead.

Palitoy-k to show why they have so often been confused as the same baggie type, font’s are very similar as are the baggies, the font on the Palitoy is about 10mm shorter in length than it’s Kenner counterpart & the Kenner has sharper / cleaner printing & straighter edged font Both Palitoy-k & SW-f are Soft bags / Heat sealed.
Same logo as the SW-c but with vertical font.
