To a degree, I totally get it. I'm a graphic designer / creative director who is responsible for a lot of graphics at my day job. Misspellings happen, people make mistakes. It's crazy when you consider how many people get eyes on a product that these type of flubs are still so common.

Adobe Illustrator needs to incorporate some spell check, ha. (or is this a feature that exists and I am just ignoring it daily somehow?)

Joe: Really no one by any sort of comfortable margin--I think technically the answer is Snake Eyes (but I only have 5 in all different scales)

Other lines: Indiana Jones, by far. With all the figures I own, I have very few duplicate characters. But I have nearly every Indy from the recent Adventure Series.

When I used to be in the Sports Supply industry we often made custom jersies for many Texas High Schools and Colleges. I once made an entire order of work out gear for Muenster Texas but I spelled it Munster. NO ONE noticed... not me.. not my salesman, not the coaches. .not the players. I was putting up the artwork one day and just went pale when I realized my mistake..

Called the school.. they had no idea. Luckily I was able to fix it by color blocking out the misspelling and then printing the correct name on the color block.

So I totally get how this can happen. Although I'd expect they'd have a lot more QA than our small operation had.

Lol I know this "going pale" feeling all too well.

In other lines, I guess it would be Orange Cassidy with 3.

*lazy thumbs up*

I have my Jakks figure, the official minimate and one I made, prior.

Mistakes happen, but there's been a real "don't give a shit" attitude in the workplace post-covid too.

In addition to misspelling "starting" it's incorrect to capitalize "Before"

Oh yeah. It's such a lovely feeling.
