    Question for Brian

    Or anyone who is familiar with Canadian Adventure Team figures. Awhile back I got a lot of Adventure Team stuff and there was a Canadian Sea Adventurer with it. Have a question about the eyes. The eyes on this one is red instead of brown like most of the other Sea Adventurers I own. Was it a common thing in Canada or was it rare there too?

    The same color as his hair? How odd. Is the flocking underpainted?

            Weird, I actually don't know, never seen one like before. I wish I could find the email of another Brian I know who would.

              Same here, it looks like he had a pretty rough night of drinking.

              Either it was done by a previous owner, or the paint they use on the scar was used on the eyes.

                Doesn't look like it was done by a previous owner. If it was,they did a pretty good job of it. Looks pretty close to what came from Hasbro. I was just curious if they had done something different in Canada with their AT figures.

                  Many brown paints will bleach out and go red from sun or age. Maybe thats what happened here
