I'm going through a bunch of Star Wars minifigs and generally know to look
on the torso neck stud and the inside of the bottom of the legs for the Lego
logo, but am trying to determine where else to look for assurance my minifigs
are legit and not fakes. For example, my Commander Cody's helmet doesn't
appear to have the Lego ID anywhere on it. Does anyone know where to find this?
I'm only seeing a "C" on the inside top part of the helmet. Any tips? Thanks!

Many helmets and hair, including several SW ones, do not have a Lego logo, but
instead just a "C". Most likely that piece is genuine.

I believe this is the exact part I was requesting be added to this help page.

Whew. Thanks! I'm just not finding much consistency between the different
years of clones and troopers and their markings. As I collect some of these HTF
minifigs, I just want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off.
