Hi guys, another here that could never bloody find one as a kid, think that maybe my fascination with the little blue box, I spent time in the midlands & in Hamburg as a kid & could not find one in either location, sadly all my stuff is packed away in boxes for a ending house move but will dig though what photos I have to add what I can to the thread for you guys.
The upside down sticker is a known error rather that a variation, sure after hour after hour sat on a production line sticking these on folks got bored & complacent & either deliberately or accidentally put them on the wrong way round, the white squares on the sticker are fairly common,I have a few like it as well as I think 2 with the reverse sticker, I also recently picked one up which is a new error on me, it is missing the place line on it, but it's still sat stateside with a friend, be great to get Chris Hibbard on here as he is also a huge PD focus nut & has some awesome stuff.
These are the 3 variants I know of to date, though am clueless to the lighter colour one in the middles history, 2 regulars & a short V but the middles one is cast in a different colour plastic as you can see.
Pic of the portotype that has never surfaced, sadly most likely never will.
Pic with the white squares in the middle.
Embroibered one my good lady did for my birthday
great pic of the 9 pack that was offered in Canada which included the PD & a huge grail item for me as the 2nd wave are my fave figures.
Great pic Mike Sith did for me
Another which you will I am sure be familiar with that Mike did, love this =)
