I'm never sure what to do with my "bagged" figures - they dont display like carded figures, you cant play with them or display them like loose figures, so i tend to go with the tried and tested method of getting the best out of them - putting them in a shoe box beneath the spare bed!
They are the closest it gets of the sealed stuff to being ripped open, I tell you.

Well, if your notorious lack of self control overcomes you, please could you scan the Skeletron sticker with a ruler alongside it?

I was just thinking that Baron - I think it would scan anyway, if I shuffled it around to the front of the bag.
I'll give it a whirl when I dig the dead Kraken out of the box.

Well don't open it up specially, we do have one scanned for the archive. I expect with some Photoshop jiggery pokery I could add a size guide, all I have to dois measure the applied sticker on one of my figures now I think of it.

I know it is a factory error, but I have a SAS Pilot with around 6 pistols in it's bubble. Rare? I don't know, but it is cool!

You see - I love stuff like that! It makes me chuckle, and reminds me how Palitoy were just a bit random at times. I have images of all of the Palitoy staff down the boozer on a dinnertime, drinking several pints of mild, before going back to the factory for teh afternoon shift and doing stuff like that! If I saw that for sale, I'd buy it just for it's quirky-ness!

I now have something rare in the collection! Two carded German figures just bought from our Paul. Something new to start chasing down!

not sure whether you said this on purpose just to annoy me
but I cant let it lie, the Kraken wish to disassociate themselves with this rumour once and for all and state that and none of them have, or ever will be a skeletron. dead or otherwise...
