Just a mild curiosity.
I recently purchased the E102 Austin Theory. In spite of there being no evidence of the package being tampered with, the :-o head had the socket for the neck joint very sloppily cut out, which basically rendered the figure neckless if I tried to use it. That's the head I primarily want to display him with, so I went and found a really good price on that head on eBay (which also had a much better face print than the one I had). I noticed when comparing them that the busted one had a "1" embossed on the inside of it with an arrangement of three dots above it. The new one has a "2" embossed inside of it, and the three dots above it were arranged in a different pattern.
I'm sure it's just a production particular, but I was wondering if anyone might've had any insight into what it may indicate. I've honestly never noticed anything like it, but I don't generally make a habit of buying duplicates, either.
