appear to only have been made in sample
quantities.
Sticking with Firefighters we have the
Firefighters of Yesteryear from MBC. I'm
not surprised that this one did not make it
into production as, to me, he looks like a
French policeman.
Another sample that I am not surprised did
not make it into production was Warren
Beatty as an angel from the 1978 film
Heaven Can Wait. Beatty stars in the
lead role, playing a football player
who, after being killed in a collision
accident, is sent back to earth in the
body of a millionaire.
I believe that the best 'person' bottle
that never made it into production
was Uncle Sam from Cyrus Noble. I
am not picturing it here as it was the cover bottle for
miNiZ97.
Goto of Japan made the Circus Strongman sample. This is
one of nine circus figures, none of which made it into production. MBL shows
five of these, all in B&W. If anyone has pictures of any of the other bottles, or
colour photos, WE WANT COPIES.
Enough of people, let's have some animals. The first two Garnier Collies above
are both samples and the third photo shows the final production bottle.
Ski Country made quite a number of bottles that did not make it into
production. Three animals I know about are the Snowgoose, Pandas, Bass and
Koala. All but the Koala as shown on the next page as I only have a B&W photo
