Hi all,
Had a good find @ a local toy fair today, got this little lot for £5

The

's are far from mint, but will help fill out my

forces, & I think this may be the variant

I've been looking for, can any one please help confirm this for me ?

That's another variant crossed off the "to find" list..
It was a good day for bargains all in all I only spent £9, well £11 if you add the entry fee.
I also picked up this Japanese robot, Britain's Swoppet soldier & deetail German Mortar crew as well.

I never knew of the rounded feet variant! Look at that huge gap at the top of his inside left leg!

Hi boss,
It could just be the age, but the plastic on my example seems to be different to the standard

too...it's a bit stiffer..less flexible than normal.
I haven't got a normal figure to hand @ the mo' (so I can't confirm this), but the moulding detail around the wrist just seems much crisper & sharper too compared to the standard figure

I guess the next obvious question to ask is: Does a

variant figure exist too?

The flippers definitely fit the rounded boot version better, & the hands can hold weapons much better than the standard

Do they have black or painted hands, Eddie?
T'shot... these aren't the variants you're looking for.... move along

Nice score.
