Brown top Cornelius

How rare is the brown top?

Buy it!
Save me from buying it!
Seller is a member here. I don't think they are super rare, but you don't see them that often.

[Toyman_Chris]

Doh! You are not helping....lol

I think he is a color change. I think I see green thread. They may all be anyway! I have two. One is dark brown and one light. They both have green thread as well I paid around $20 or $30 for each. They both have the entire brown outfit.

I have brown top Corny and Zira. I ditto what Bryan said/typed above. Not super rare although not commonly found either.

I shoulda pulled the trigger on him. Oh well. Snooze ya loose!

I think you can find a complete one for about what I paid anyway. I had been collecting variants of him and Zira a while back. I found that every Cornelius that I bought had green thread. The one next to the brown is one that is changing color. I think - if there is a true brown cornelius - it would have brown thread (like the one that is in one of the threads about him here). The one on Ebay had green thread - I don't think it was a big loss that you missed him Although now that I look carefully I am noticeing that the green thread on the brown is not as green as I remember but more brownish - maybe it takes longer for it to change?? I don't know??

That's good. I figure was hemming and hawing over it, I musta not wanted it too badly. I will enjoy it more finding it on the cheap.

I've been wanting a brown Corny for a while, too, but why bother if it's just due to fading?

Has it been established that suits were indeed manufactured in brown knit, & not just subject to damage?

Just curious, this rivals chartruese Aquaman /Robin.

There will be more opportunities come your way.

I think there was a thread where someone had one with brown stitching. All the ones that I have seen have green. Although the one I have pictured is more brown than I remember! I can't see why Mego would use brown fabric and green thread. To me it does not make sense but who knows! The Zira seems like a real variation though! .

[Mr Mego]

Yeah, that happen sometimes. Someday I'll collect 'em all Variation Cornelius and Zira.

Thanks for sharing this great important thread!!

You're the best!! This was the thread that I was thinking of!! The Cornelius has a brown outfit and brown thread - not green.
