Questions about George Taylor (in Astronaut gear)
I was able to obtain the George Taylor figure I was looking for, and have a couple questions I'm hoping someone can answer:
A) The George Taylor I bought has the European Exclusive sticker on the packaging, and his boots are a light grey, not the solid white like the boots on my Brent figure-Are the grey boots just that way on the European Exclusive, or do *all* George Taylor figures come with grey boots?
B) Does anybody know what happened between the time the Topps George Taylor (in rags) came out and the "Astronaut" version came out in that the Topps rags version has an actual picture of Heston on the back, and the version of Taylor in the Astronaut garb shows a picture of Taylor on the back *but* the picture looks like a film still that was painted over, in that the picture doesn't clearly show Heston, unlike the rags version. Is/was that a matter of the Heston estate not allowing his image to be used on the Astronaut packaging, or did Topps go with the generic image as a cost saving measure or what?
