The figure without the base, was made to overcome an early problem, when the name '(Bresica)Resica' was found marked under some bases.
John Kellner, writes 'B-Resica made Greeks and Romans; so to save time, and before RP started using matrices, they would carve up an
existing figure to a stick and build up from that, so the base was from a production run figure. Chuck or Glen probably forgot to grind down
a base, so when the masters went into the production moulds, they put green stuff over it. This happened to several figures and led to an
embarrassing situation at Gencon when they forgot to grind out someone else's base and people saw it and were not amused, even though it
was obvious it wasn't one of their figures. The early days were a learning experience and they made plenty of mistakes without realizing it
- separate bases were then made, as a temporary measure, and fixed to the masters by epoxy, and the molds were made from them......
It was also common to put on the next year's date, because the actual production was later.
BTW, that figure would have been sculpted when Tom Mieir was a junior in high school'.
