This silver Alphabeast: Calli is a "replacement" for the gold edition that had QC defects. Flopdoodle provided these to anyone who sent back their gold edition. The silver colorway improves upon the paint app issues in that the silver is actually silver (the gold edition is actually dark green). However, you can still see the stripes through the eyes and mouth (though not as much as in the gold edition), and as you can see in the picture above (which is my figure), the stripes aren't exactly straight. (Look at the one between the eyes, ouch!)
All that said, I am a sucker for green toys and a fan of Tim Biskup. I was glad to be able to procure the set. It's marked 2004 on the feet, but the official word is that it came out in 2006 for Tim Biskup's show in Spain. If you're not a freak about paint app, this is a shot at getting two iconic green Alphabeasts in one fell swoop.
