That is simply awesome. So cool to get to see something like this in such detail. Obviously without being too specific, but just for my own curiosity, did this come from someone in Asia, or is this from another US collector. As it's quite rare to see something from that early in the line, in it's original form show up nowadays. Haven't seen any 2ups from that time period in probably close to a decade.



This came from a former Hasbro employee.

What a treasure. The detailing on this is incredible.

And you cleared up a giant mystery for me regarding the sculpting of identical pieces. I wonder if it's a relief as a sculptor to not have to sculpt identical elements repeatedly or if they would rather sculpt legs and arms with minor variations in details and folds.

Sounds like a question for Bill Merklein sometime
