Breyerfest 2000 Special Run Mardi Gras Goof NO eyes NPOD Sample Lonesome Glory

Description

For sale is Mardi Gras- goof/ sample variation
-NO dorsal stripe version
This particular Mardi Gras is a variation from the run. I acquired this model from the NPOD at Breyerfest 2016 wrapped in bubble wrap. He is missing the brown and white paint on his eyes and this model just has black eyes. His spots also differ from the production run, especially the two on the shoulder. Much wider and spaced apart more. This could be a sample model or just a variation with production. You never know what you get with Breyers NPOD selection.
There were 750 Mardi Gras models made for the Breyerfest 2000 event as a special run model. 750 models included both the dorsal and no dorsal stripe versions. He was only available for ticket holders to purchase that year in person. He is from my personal collection and has been stored behind glass since receiving him directly from Breyer. He is on the very popular Lonesome Glory mold and is a great addition to a conga.
I will not claim LSQ as everyone's opinion differs but the model is in fair condition with no major breaks, cracks, or rubs. Just noting that all models are not completely perfect as they are mass produced by Breyer. This particular model does have some shiny marks and ear rubs. The ear rubs can be easily fixed and he came to me from Breyer that way. Pictures show dust, not rubs. The model is just dusty. Lastly, the model is a little tippy and can be common for the mold. I'm sure the leg that is slightly bent could be easily fixed, I just put a stabilizer underneath it. Model does NOT have any seam splits. This is common for the mold but this model is showing no signs of that starting.
No returns are accepted. The model pictured is the model you will be receiving and is sold as is!! I ship pretty fast and usually sends the package out the next day.
