Post by: Clong on October 20, 2011, 18:36:42
I didn't think the baby giraffe came in color me form.

Restraint failed. Again.

Another theory would be that they were removed from the factory before they underwent the printing process.

I think those are from the Color sets  :). Kids were supposed to have 'fun' by coloring spots onto orange giraffes.

Good point. I just checked on PlaymoDB and there were no baby giraffes until much later. However, there were adult color giraffes (http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3672.htm) from that era  :D.

I forgot to mention in my first post that in a huge box of customized, stock and out-and-out strange figures I won on eBay, there were about 30 of these giraffes without spots  :hmm:.

Did yours arrive Tahra?  I had ordered some already and they arrived while I was away.
I opened them today and found...
three of these...

I've just contacted the seller so hope they can be changed - these would look silly with my new African Safari station  :lol:

Oh, that's terrible, Elaine! Yeah I don't think those go too well with the African safari at all! :no: Hope you can get it resolved.
