[QUOTE="Bill McBride, post: 224036, member: 2198"] Apologies for not chiming in earlier. To the best of my knowledge, every example has come from a European source. (mine came from a lot of loose and carded figs from the UK). The details on the figure, and a lack of CoO are indicative of a production mold that has been "sharpened" up for reuse. If you look at the arms and legs, the fold details is much deeper that you would expect. (while the head and torso are for the most part, unchanged). My best guess is that these would have been the earlier molds from Kenner, that were sent over to be reused for the later releases (looking at the Tri-Logo releases) Unfortunately, these are not pre-production figures - however, this variation is fairly uncommon. I think it's a great piece !! Congrats !! Bill [/QUOTE]
