One of the rules for toy collecting is that one must acquire every variation especially boxes. These are Best of the West versions released in 1974 only. There were four variations of each box. These are the first variation as they have the stickers. The stickers are for the recommended age range for the toy. These stickers say not recommended for children under 3 years of age. The later boxes have the age range printed on the box. It was the beginning of the dark ages I think.
In the meantime attaching the sword to the belt took me twenty minutes. OK maybe ten. Custer has a rare belt as it is rare to find both hooks for the sword belt intact. It is a very fine piece and often broke and improperly formed in the mold.
Did the sword require special words muttered out loud before it was attached?
Both are fine looking gentlemen!
It's funny.ai think of 1974 as pretty recent.
My mind just can't comprehend that is was quite a while ago.these remind me of the old John Wayne movies my Dad used to watch.
He was a bad ass dude.
Yes racer4four, Many special words were uttered and exclaimed. None of which I can write here. I also dropped a few of his pieces on the floor which required crawling about and more special words. The gentlemen say thank you.
