I have a Flion, but I don’t see a number 😕

Sometimes the mold maker would forget to mark a number on it, but if so there should be a blank round spot on the right wing where it would go.
November 10, 2009 at 11:12 pm #550415blank round spot? I’m not seeing it. Is it supposed to be near the top?bottom? under the wing? I’ve pulled my flion out of the curio and I’m looking at him. He’s looking back at me like “don’t you drop me if you’re gonna take me out!”

The flion I have here has the number on the bottom (the underside) of the right wing, but I don’t know if the number was in the same spot on other flion molds.
November 10, 2009 at 11:20 pm #550418Found it, though I can’t tell really what it says. It’s either 11 or 77 I think
November 10, 2009 at 11:21 pm #550419mine is also under the right wing on the bottom, but it’s more like right above the knee of the flion
November 11, 2009 at 2:59 am #550420Looks like mine is a 2 or maybe a 12 :scratch: but more likely a 2. But how did the number get spotted in the auction picture? I still can’t see the auction pictures number and from where the number is placed on my flion it wouldn’t be visible in the pictures if the other flion’s number is in the same place.
November 11, 2009 at 7:13 am #550421I never bothered to look at mine before, I think he’s a #7!
Forever seeking: Blackwatch the raffle Old Warrior, Jennifer Miller's pieces, and GB Baby unis!
November 11, 2009 at 9:15 pm #550422This is kind of cool. I just searched my flion and found what looks to be a number 2… or maybe the letter Z. Try searching on the underside edge of the wing… where the bottom wing curves under to touch the body. It is in a spot that is not really visible unless you really are looking to find it. I never knew it was there before lol

Same here :scratch: . I don’t even seem to have that ‘blank spot’ either…
November 12, 2009 at 1:24 am #550424I looked at mine and with much squinting I think I have #20.

Oh, duh! I found it 😀 . It looks like a number ‘2’ 😉 .
November 13, 2009 at 6:10 pm #550426I was re-reading my previous comment; If the 13 is on the bottom of a Flion without a pad, it is probably a detailer’s initial. The detailers write their initials on the bottom of the piece. Belen always marked hers with a “B” that looks like a 13.
The detailer’s initials are often covered by the pad.
There are sometimes other mysterious numbers and marks on the bottoms, but nobody can remember what they were for.November 13, 2009 at 9:09 pm #550427Huh, I was wondering about that. I noticed a few of my Windstones had those marks.
