Glitter Used In Old Packaging?

Archon_Turtle · 08-10-2008, 05:30 AM

Hey guys,
I recently picked up a carded Sumo Raph on Ebay:

The thing I found odd is that both the card and the inside of the bubble are covered in clear glitter (You can't really see most of it in the picture...but trust me it is there). Can someone confirm or deny that they used glitter in the packaging process of any figures?

lol I'm not sure if this is one of mine or not, some of the figures I sold off some time ago where part of a nail polish accident where it splattered all over my bedroom.
To my knowledge Playmates has never used glitter on any figures besides the 4 toon turtles, and even that was just a shimmer coat.

it is just odd because it is on the INTERIOR of the bubble.

Just like how you see on edible products "Proceesed on the same line as products that contain wheat and nuts" or the like, you may have this effect from some other girls toys they produced at the time.
