Aarghh... Even more things to check. I've been just checking my figures to see
what type of legs and what thype of eyes the have, but I didn't look at the
size of the masks.
The list will all different types of figures (incl. different types of eyes and
legs) is almost finished, I still have to add information from Henriette and
then, after also checking the masks, I can put it on the website.
Some interesting things I found out when looking at all my figures:
The crow from set 3634 ( http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?q=3634_1&v=z ) comes in
three different varieties. The eyes are in all cases the same, but the legs
have either no copyright mark, the old copyright mark or the new copyright
mark. As this is the only set in which this crow appears (at least without cap)
this might indicate that there have been at least three production runs (which
each a different type of legs), or that the different types of legs have been
mixed before the contents of the set were put together.
The bunny from set 3708 ( http://guide.lugnet.com/set/3708 ) has two different
types of legs 1 leg with the old copyright mark and 1 leg with the new
copyright mark. The same is true for the goat from set 3637 (
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/3637 ). This seems quite odd to me. The different
types of legs have to be mixed before the figure was put together.
I'm also planning to add the names to all the characters. For the raccoon I
don't know English names, I think for set 3626 he is called Willie Wasbeer
(still have to check that out also).
Greetings,
Sybrand
