I bought two of the new 2-packs with Wild Weasel... one has writing on his back and chest that says "HFE"... looks like it was hand written... The other figure has nothing printed on him... Not sure what to make of it... The packaged was sealed.
I can post a picture later if people want to see it... Jason |

"HFE" is Hasbro's official mark for final test shots/prototypes. Looks like you got a final shot figure packaged instead of a regular one. Same thing happened to another member with a Flint figure a while back

I'd like to see a picture of this.
If it's what I think it is then it's pretty interesting. Although you might start kicking yourself for opening it.

HFE is Hasbro shorthand for Hasbro Far East and represents their overseas factories, so yeah you got what appears to be a pre-production item in there. Quite often, though, the pre-production pieces at that level of production are very close to the actual production pieces and aren't usually worth that much more, so I wouldn't worry too much about opening it.
Kinda neat find, though. Justin |

How rare is this?
And does anybody know the difference between a Hasbro Far East and Hasbro Master?

well you take that one different figure, you "accidently" place it in the package somehow>? (idk don;t ask) and it is the ONLY one of it's kind, a 1 of 1 so to speak. Don't take my word for it though as we can only request and learn more information about it's origin.
