“can’t really put up a pic due to lack of a digital camera but it’s in a shop in bude, cornwall called Bricknell’s which happens to have a toymaster section, and theres a fair few, may end up snapping up a couple meself it’s in the normal alt packageing of the bubble/box with pics of the toy due to artwork being no longer aloud”
