Aberrant printing?
« on: February 10, 2012, 09:57:43 »
Can anyone help? Is this Klicky just an aberrant printing job? He looks just like the farm worker 30 00 8840 - Farm worker, plaid shirt, yellow vest except for the purple plaid stripes (not red and blue). Or is he a different klicky altogether? Sorry for blurry photo!

The purple plaid does exist, on this fellow: 30 00 5960 - Man, purple plaid shirt and vest

(I know, I know, his printing is not marked. I searched for "plaid" to find him.) My photo of the farm worker (good job on the link, by the way) has no beard-stubble like yours, either, but squinting at the box-photo for his set, 3929 - Harvester, makes me think he ought to have it. So maybe my photo's not accurate either.

Conclusion: none yet, but suspecting a hybrid. Anyone else?

No, I definitely have a clicky with this printing. I believe he came with the log cabin set.... yep:5918 - Log Cabin. Different vest and all of course, but he could be a custom, or this same torso and arms could have come in more than one set I guess. Anyway, this color does exist.


Heather, I'll look and see if I have instructions for this too, as it appears you need them. Though they are probably exactly the same as the older version.


----edit----

I was typing at the same time as heather!

5918 - Log Cabin, yes please! Uh oh, it's not on the Wishlist under "List of newly updated sets", that's not good - there may be others too. Sets drop off when they get too old, unless I renew them.

Ok, after looking through my instructions, I don't seem to have it anymore. Back when I got this set, I wasn't very organized with storing instructions, so it may have been lost or thrown away. Good news is, I am looking to buy at least one more of these if I can find a good price, so I may have them again, if someone else doesn't get it to you first. And I now neatly file all my instructions so I won't lose them again. ;D

Thanks both for your help- I am sure this is a custom job (along with several others from the same source), so I will do some surgery (elastic band method) to restore him to something like original- if I can find his other bits. I thought his arms and torso were pale blue, which is why I didn't find him in playmoDB ('plaid' on arm printing didn't work of course). I don't have any instructions either I'm afraid.
