    Penguin Jacket Question

    Hello. I received a Penguin figure today and had a question regarding his jacket. Inside the jacket there is a "Made In Hong Kong" tag sewn into the left seam. Is this normal or would this indicate that the jacket is a repro? I don't recall any of my other figures having any such tags on them. Just curious.

    made in Hong Kong , indicates that it is 70's early 80's. it might belong to another figure line of same period

      Yes, it definitely looks like the correct jacket, just not sure if it's repro or not.

        repo would not be made in Hong Kong, but would state made in china.

          From the accessory check in the Galleries.......

          The repro is marked DM on the inside near the collar.
