Flion

[Misty]

Hey All,

I noticed a number engraved in a wing of my flion, on the underside. I imagine this is a numbering system. How many of these items were produced?  Was there different production sets?

Hi Misty,
That is actually just the mold number. IIRC, Melody said it was included so they could trace problems to the specific mold. I don’t know if the Flion had more casting problems than other sculpts, or if they just used less identifiable marks to identify specific molds for other sculpts.

My keyboard is broken. I keep pressing "Escape", but I'm still here.

That is a mold mark. We used mold mark numbers to trace any defects in the castings to the  specific mold they came out of. It roughly indicates the age of the Flion, since smaller numbers are older. However, it isn’t super accurate because the  molds would randomly rip and get replaced out of order of their actual age. A number 4 and a number 12 Flion casting might  be the same age, but the number 4 mold just  had a long useful life.

Most of the creatures , like dragons, had mold numbers in the eye sockets so they were hidden by the glass  eyes. The Flion’s eyes were too small to do this. The oldest little flapcats might have visible numbers somewhere  on  them too.

We don’t bother to number the molds now.

Wow, how interesting! I may have never noticed such a little detail–really cool that you used to put the numbers in the eye socket.

Several of the pieces have “Easter eggs” on them.  There is an old thread about it:
