[QUOTE="walkie, post: 230981, member: 4263"] Wolff says it all, snippet from RS on the subject. Ill have to add some points to the so called „scarred out coo“. This is the only one which is roughly done and with lots of additional material (tin-lead mixture?) on top of the former coo. Thats the reason why the look of these can change while producing them in high numbers. The fact is that these „fill-ups“ can change or become damaged, fully or partially because of wear on the molds. A famous example is the half scarred Snaggletooth. [img]http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/3213/013117.jpg[/img] To me it‘s clear that half of the „scar“ broke off while producing full scarred figures. Lots of them where produced and this mistake wasnt fixed or was changed very late (Perhaps it was simply not noticed in a busy factory). Thats why there are quite a few of them existing.
