Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Good morning, Dojo!

I found this Usagi figure in a store. I'm kind of new in this kind of collectibles...
Is from Antarctic Press Toys.It says is a Special Edition limited to 2000 copies.
Do you have more info about it? Why isn't he wearing his blue outfit? I'd really appreciate your help

Thank you in advance!

There are three versions of this figure, I believe. There is also a glow in the dark version that was limited to 1,500. The different color of the figures is one way you can tell them apart. Peace, maka

I think I have the regular edition ... somewhere.

Looks like there were 4 versions - http://www.octanetoys.com/ToyVault/usagiyojimbo.html

Dark Horse Comics

This is the Platinum Edition of the UY action figure from Antarctic Toys, a division of Antarctic Press. This was made during the hey day of superhero action figures when companies found you could do a small run of figures from China. This was also during the hey day of comic book variant covers and that practice extended to toys. That is why there were so many variations of this Usagi figure. I wish they had sold bags of those tokage lizards on their own.

There were 2 UY action figures and a Space Usagi figure in the TMNT line. These were manufactured by Playmate Toys. There was also a large figure made by Dark Horse. There were no variants in these lines.

Wow! It's good to know the 'origins' of it.
Well, this is going to be my first(and I hope not the last) Usagi figure
Thanks for the info, Maka, maichan, Sensei!
