I got Two of these from the Indy line from my contacts in Hong Kong.. I got them in Jan of this year ( the indy line was released in may ) Both were carded but one of them had crayon like writing of numbers on the bubble
These cats that got them for me didn't seem to think anything about it. Yeah, regarding that Tanker's take on making it seem like these are a dime-a-dozen out on the market, there's no way. I search eBay all the time for these and don't ever see them. Only prototype loose figs, which ARE a dime-a-dozen.

I don't know, this has the same appeal the Slaughterhouse customs do, so pointless, so useless, yet so very fun to aggrandise because of how many people get mad when we do so, lol.

I doubt it. Carded ones seem to be an error. A ton of the "early" figures we've seen recently from China have the HM marking somewhere, but none of those are carded.
I think you hold one of the rarest/coolest factory errors around. That figure wasn't meant to be carded.

My personal guess is that maybe a few of these exist, like a test run of the "final assembly" once the molds, painting, printing, etc are set for production, and they've got some final pieces to check out for quality, maybe even do some when part of the process is disturbed by cleaning the machines or whatever.
Regardless, based on that theory or not, I think it's a pretty cool and special find, especially since you've got in on a favorite version of a very popular character. The additional factors on the card that verify it are a great bonus. I'm absolutely sure someone would buy it for plenty, but even if it has no sell value, it is very valuable to the person who owns it. Some toys have the "H" actually burned or dug into the plastic, I wonder if those are from farther back in the prototype of preproduction stages? And with the abundance of black used on V1 Snake Eyes, or a great deal of the ROC line, I wonder if any written marks are a different color or just nearly impossible to see. |
