ORANGE FROGMAN VARIATION

ORANGE FROGMAN VARIATION
There is a minor variation of the Original Series Orange Frogman figure.
Some figures have a shield outline around the Logo on the chest.
I had never seen this before & the packaged figures in the Archive don’t have it.
But it turned up with other figures in two Ebay auctions, one in Britain (which I won) & one in South Africa.
I asked the South African seller about these and he said he’d had them as a child & like many other toys of the time they came in British or European packaging.

Robert, that is fascinating!

Good work fella, I don't think any of us were aware of that variation.

You don't post much but when you do they are quality!

Must get one now, but where? Theses are going to be like needles and haystacks....

Don't forget the yellow zip variation too

Could there be a full sheild/yellow zip or no sheild/no yellow zip couple of variants too?

(Also, do all Sheild frogmen wear lipstick?)
